Maybe Swann was on about KP?
All I know is that those 2 will be almost impossible to replace.
Oh yeah I am sure he was but thought that was more a case of them just not liking each other.

Wow, huge call (but obviously wrong imo). I wish the PCB had this much guts regarding certain players (Afridi).

Alright this is just talking nonsense of the top of my head, but I remember just before twitter-gate, and text-gate blew up, wasn't there a suggestion that KP said to James Taylor he couldn't bat, during his innings when KP produced his genius innings, it certainly was the Press conference just after that started the rigmarole, with KP playing the hangdog.
I dunno, but Taylor hasn't been involved a lot since. Again just aimless speculation, I'm certainly looking forward to the autobiographies

We did the same with Gower. At least we make the calls just do it with the wrong players.
Same, hope Bell releases the killer one.I dunno, but Taylor hasn't been involved a lot since. Again just aimless speculation, I'm certainly looking forward to the autobiographies

****, you'd hope it's more entertaining than his public persona.
Yeah he is saving it all up. Will be explosive.

I loved Gower, and you'll be shocked to know I'm not a big fan of KP, but the comparisons are certainly there. Particularly that Gower was the top England Runscorer, when Gooch and the selectors got rid of him. Gooch overtook him. I was livid at the time.
Cook may well profit similarly in the next year.

ECB should expect a serious drop in revenue next summer, especially after this and given the performance this past winter.

Yeah, I'm surprised about the shock. We are going down the drain anyway, so they've just said new broom, bring in a bunch of players and try to build a new team spirit, around a few old uns, Like Oz did with Border after a few glorious thrashings.

Can't be too much wrong with English batting if we can cast aside a bloke with 8000+ test runs and 23 tons, eh?
Admittedly I don't have to share a dressing room with him, but we were struggling for a top six with Pietersen. Without him, well the talent pool looks a tad shallow, eh?

Sad state of etceteras when a bloke with 4 tests is the third batsman inked in.

Well, I can guarantee Bell won't be batting at three.

David Warner looks like he might end up being a bigger prick than KP but Australia have tried to manage him appropriately with punishments fitting his faults. All I have seen England do with KP in the recent past is drop/mock/media scandal repeat ad nauseam. The idiots are more concerned about maintaining their image/control than winning. No experienced player in the English test XI needs to be dropped, most of 'em just need to be rested well before they play again.
