Probably been said,but he has just fell out with too many people.

When you fall out with that many people tells me not a very nice guy at all.

You're right, but if he racked up 1,500 runs by July they'd have been unable to ignore him. As it was he fucked off to the IPL and the WIndies playing laugh and giggle cricket meaning he had no credible case for a recall.

Can't blame him for that mind,you know and I know it,there was no way he was getting back in that side,nobody in their right mind would have turned down the IPL money in his position.
 


Read collys quick thoughts on it at the end. He's spot on as usual, and this is someone that KP likes. There is a myth by a few posters on here that KP has loads of support on this issue, he really doesn't in my opinion. He will sell books fair enough but he's making a bit of a fool of himself in my opinion.

He should be remembered as one of the all time great batsmen for England, but sadly he won't be because of this book. He's made money out of it but he's shown himself up
 
Here's the Harmison piece in the Sunday Sun
Interesting article, the bit about Broad is pretty worrying, very poor for a captain to have that relationship with his coach. Possibly says as much about Broad being poor captaincy material if he is still doing things that make him worry about Flower's opinion.

It was widely reported at the time that one of the Saffers had let slip in the field that Pietersen had told them to go round the wicket and short at Strauss, as he'd been struggling with that ball in the nets. As I remember, Pietersen just about admitted to using the insult 'doos' and was given the opportunity to show the content of the texts to prove he didn't reveal any tactics about Strauss. Of course, he refused and him and the Saffers closed ranks.

When the Saffers won the series, Pietersen went out to celebrate with them.

As I said earlier, you can't really prove it. All you have is a comment on the field, which the Saffers later denied ever happened, and the fact the Pietersen point blankly refused to show the evidence which would have cleared or damned him.

You can make up your own mind.
I think he's a dick who has been scapegoated but hasn't helped himself, particularly over the last few years.
 
I started reading it yesterday. What I've really picked up on is his incredulity that England cricket wouldn't afford him special privileges like missing warm up games.
 
Anyone read it yet then?
I'm halfway through it and I'm booooooored. It really is all about KP and his ego. Remember the first test of the 2010/11 Ashes when Cook Strauss and Trott batted forever and saved the game? This is what he wrote about it....

“I don’t get to bat in the second innings. Rain affects play and we end up with a draw.”

Mind if I politely enquire what you were expecting
