This is not where Ricky Ponting is about

[Charmless Man]

I don't get what you find funny

He was just talking about the egos in the England dressing room, and said having an ego is a good thing, and most top players have egos, and he is spot on

what's your point?

The awful syntax iirc is the reason for why I found it funny iirc there mate.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

There's arnly KP still rattling on like.......planting sly little seeds.........and getting paid for it........by the aussies ffs. I'm sure he's very good friends with owld Ricky tho so no harm done. His pal Morgan must be chuffed to be dragged into it n'arl.

Makes me laugh that people will defend literally owt Kev does like.

It used to make me laugh when people defended Phil Bardsley all the time, but it's all about opinions.

All about opinions with KP. Still a class act as far as I'm concerned and when you have the likes of KP/Viv Richards representing your team, it's why the Aussie's want to know about it and want to pay good money for it. Ravi Bopara and Peter Moores doesn't quite have the same influence does it?

Give it a rest.

Root, Ballance, Moeen, Buttler...great young talent not clowns.

It's a results business. The Newcastle United side of 1995 looked good on paper, won fuck all

I reckon if he botted you you'd still forgive him.

Forgive who?

Forgive who?

Never mind.

Sick of hearing this ballsack drag England through the dirt. My sympathy for him is totally spent.

Anyone catch Jonathan Trott's interview today?

After hitting 176 not out for the Lions, batting for 9 hours in 30 degree heat, he said he was just happy to play and try to earn the right to play for the senior team again, by scoring runs.

What a great attitude. Compare and contrast with Pietersen and his media circus.

He's hardly had people out to get him though so that's an unfair comparison.

Don't think the ECB ever filed secret dossiers on Trott behind his back plotting to get rid of him.

Spot on

and someone who England miss more IMO

If we had an inform Cook and Trott for the Ashes, would be a very promising side.

Probably because he isn't a pain in the arse and a loose cannon.

And last summer the players in question all averaged 50+ in test cricket. Last time KP did that anyone?

Have you read his book? I know it's ghost written and all that but KP has the mentality of a seven year old child. He's the focus of his own, and everyone else's universe, so he thinks.

 

[ollie c]

It's more a telling commentary on how the Aussies perceive the England players in the recent past. It seems KP was not the only arrogant git.

 

[Former Player]

End of the day the clowns at the ECB tried to ruin KP, only fair that KP is allowed to do his own thing.

Kevin Pietersen ruined Kevin Pietersen and no one else. People have short memories and believe he is still as good as he was. If Pietersen was serious about playing for England he should of played for Surrey in the County Championship last season as scored loads of runs.
Remember a player who texted the opposition about his own teams weaknesses should of been deported from the UK and not allowed back in the England dressing room. The man has an ego bigger than any other player in World Cricket.
He's a total knob who got what he deserved. Please oh please don't make him out to be the injured party.

Short memories???
Deported? - Give over.

Presumably he has a British passport by virtue of his British mother? So would be phenomenally difficult to deport, even if this was legitimate grounds for it.

Nice one Morgan.

"That's news to me."

 

[Robanner]

It's not going to happen but if KP was serious about playing for England after what happened last Winter he should have stopped chasing cheap money in 20:20 tournaments and played a full county season and then a full season this Winter overseas. By scoring bucket loads of runs and particularly first class runs the pressure for his recall would be enormous.

He hasn't done that and let's not forget when he was playing for England he was even looking to get out of playing ODIs....

Every day that passes there is less and less chance of KP ever coming back. He's already pretty old and you just can't turn it on at international cricket when you are only a 20:20 part time cricketer!

 

[Mackem00]

Still laughin at Eoin Morgan's response.
