Wonder if Steyn will get into IPL's bad books?

Excerpt from Dale Steyn column in The Times of India:

On a sad note, however, I was pretty upset watching a programme on TV the other day about just how threatened the forests and wildlife of India is. Less than 20 % of the forests remain and less than 1500 tigers in the wild! I am passionate about preserving the natural world and I’m happier being in the ‘bush’ than anywhere else in the world. What a pity that some of the enormous wealth that went into the IPL - and is being generated by it - couldn’t be channelled towards something as important as the preservation of the Indian tiger.

Remember Steyn's famous words after the first season:

The IPL was only four overs a game and it was like a paid holiday; you only had to work hard if you felt like it, which is probably why we finished second-last.

He did call himself an idiot soon after, though.
