I’d say bored,rather than scared. The same reaction he’s getting on Pure Football right about.......now.

KP was one of the best batsmen of his generation. He could have made some better choices, nobody disputes that - but so could a lot of players in that dressing room (twitter-gate, anyone?). The fact of the matter is that the ECB treat him poorly in the end, and our test middle order suffered for a significant time as a result. It’s not just losing 10,000 runs from your middle order, it’s the 3/4 year overlap that Stokes, Bairstow, Root, Buttler et al should have had to learn from him. They’ve lost that.

The bottom line is it’s international sport, at the very highest level. You pick a team to win, not to swap Christmas cards. It wasn’t an issue until we got walloped in Australia and they needed a scapegoat. Curious that he’s travelled all around the world playing franchise cricket and other dressing rooms give him glowing reviews. Makes you wonder if the problem wasn’t entirely him.

In any event, he’s finished now and it’s all moot.

Without knowing the relationship between the two, if indeed one exists - my first thought on the initial Porter tweet was that it was wholly unprofessional for him to get into any sort of potential spat on Twitter.

However, seeing what followed, Porter’s response was absolutely top drawer. He won the argument and the moral high ground.

Think probably right on both points

How is KP the arsehole in all this??

Porter has had a dig at him and KP has bit back.

I think the question is why did he have a dig at him?

If someone like Cook or Atherton made the same remark, would Porter have even responded?

I very much doubt it!

That tells a story for me amongst cricket players he is clearly not a popular bloke.

KP has throughout his career slagged off county cricket, particularly players who maybe aren't good enough for test level, he thinks they are just wasting their time

He totally forgets he was a spin bowler batting 8 be in South Africa before he played county cricket, he is so so ungrateful
