On the grape vine: When this polo pundit slowed his team down

A member of the swish-set can sit on a high horse, but that's not enough when, at stake, there's a game of polo.

Take the example of this well-heeled player who is lauded and criticised at the same time. No doubt, the effort put into polo-related events make this person an important voice. But there's not much left to be said when this player decides to battle it out on field by being part of the team itself.

A recent event set tongues wagging. The lack of ability to keep up with the team on the ground, in terms of energy or strategy was more than obvious. It made the audience sympathise with the other team members, who could have done so much more if they weren't saddled with this player.
