TROTT OK AFTER TAXI CRASH
English cricketing trio of Kevin Pietersen, Stuart Broad and Jonathan Trott escaped unhurt after their taxi had an accident when they went out for a little sightseeing trip during their trip to the United Arab Emirates to play Pakistan in the One day International series. Trott and the others hired the cab from outside the hotel that the England Cricket Team is staying in to go out for some sightseeing after their hectic tour schedule allowed them some time for rest and the players, looking for a fresh start after the 3-0 demolition at the hands of Pakistan went out for some recreation.
Jonathan Trott and the other two wanted to do some sightseeing and they all hailed the cab to take them to the outskirts of the city for a tour and while they were on the highway, the bonnet of the cab flew off from its hinges and hit the front windscreen. Kevin Pietersen reported about this incident on Twitter, the popular social networking website and went on to describe what had happened, ending his story with the hash tag ‘scary’.
The England Cricket Team, after its demolition in the Test series in spite of being the number one ranked Test playing nation according to the ICC rankings, is looking for a fresh start in One Day International series but the way things have gone so far, one might think that their bad luck is still continuing.
Although the windscreen of the taxi was smashed during the incident, none of the players were hurt and returned to the team hotel by hailing another cab and the trio went for practice under lights that evening as well. Jonathan Trott looked steady as he hit the balls for sixes but the others didn’t get too much time on the net.
