Fuctifano Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Interesting reading. I hope he plays for England again, he's too good not to be playing test match cricket. Nope. Regardless of any personality issues - the guy is obviously a massive throbber but it is / will be good to hear his side of things- he hasn't played anything other than one day / 20/20 cricket this season to no great level of success, and his test record in the last couple of years wasn't great. He's 34 with a dodgy knee. Time to move on. Good series of questions here from the Sun cricket journo that we'd all like cleared up. The telegraph interview only really appears to answer 5 (Prior is a backstabbing c**t) and 6 (Moores is also a c**t). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 A confirmed zing here, in reference to him not passing on tactical information about Andrew Stra...sorry, ‘Straussy’ to the South Africans, on the basis that there would be no point: “There were retired second-string club cricketers in Bradford who would have known how to get Andrew Strauss out. Bowl around the wicket.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Vaughn has essentially confirmed what Pietersen said about the "bowler's cabal" and Tremlett has implicitly backed KP - "glad he's had his say, people can make an informed decision about what happened now". Somehow I'd missed the twitter parody account thing. If that really was being run from within the dressing room then that needs a serious investigation and heads should roll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenBud Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 The case for the prosecution. Some of that reinforces KP's case imo, especially the stuff about his views at the Team meeting going straight back to AF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WullieBroonIsGod Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Bought KP's book. Was never a fan of him but I do think he was treated unfairly and it seems a few names are backing up his view of the bowling unit. Vaughan, Tremlett, now Ponting. The truth is more likely some way in between the two camps versions, but it is clear there is a massive split in the camp and the ECB and Strauss/Cook as captains are coming out of this in poor light for letting it happen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Graham Smith to that list and Alec Stewart is claiming that he told the ECB two years ago that players inside the dressing room had access to the parody twitter account. Whatever the full truth is its clear that the England setup is utterly shambolic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WullieBroonIsGod Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Bresnan, whilst escaping major criticism in the book from KP (certainly up to what I've read) is coming over as a thick twat from revelations elsewhere.

Savage Henry Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Am I the only one who thinks Pietersen deserved everything he got? I really don't see what the ECB have done wrong either, other than grossly incompetent public relations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I see Ricky Ponting & Graeme Smith are both backing KP's version of events - mischief or the truth? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I see Ricky Ponting & Graeme Smith are both backing KP's version of events - mischief or the truth? Its obvious just from watching on TV that the England bowling attack---Swann, Broad, Anderson especially---did not take kindly to fielding mistakes. No top bowler does, but England seemed particularly bad for it. I can totally believe that Ponting and Smith are telling the truth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
