It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

[harsh.ag]

If there were non-cricketing reasons to drop players back then, the twitter parody account people should have been knocked off the team as well. They weren't because England needed them too damn much. Pietersen was more expendable. And I agree, he still is. That hasn't changed.

I gather Strauss has confirmed to KP this evening that he will not be selected for England again.

the corns, they are popping

Let's just travel Down Under into the minds of Boof or Michael Clarke. You've woken up, grabbed a shower, checked the papers/Twitter. They're going mad. KP's just smashed 300 in a county game. He's meeting Andrew Strauss. How do you think they hope the meeting pans out?

Regardless of whether they think KP's declined or that they've got the firepower to deal with him, make no mistake, they're hoping Strauss is meeting KP to tell him to get to **** if he thinks he's ever playing for England again.

Twitter's going mad.

was today's meeting planned before he'd played that innings?

Ah...... Feel sad. Hope he still goes on to play some good first class cricket.

This'll be his last FC game and last match in England in all likelihood if that's the case

Definitely his last fc game, I think he will stay play a few t20 games for Surrey though.

ECB really suck at PR, don't they...?

This is basically admission of lying to the English cricketing fraternity and KP.

 

[Cruxdude]

That is so sad if true. Everything changes and then nothing changes for England.

That's hilarious if it's true. Farcical but that's the ECB so I guess you could just call it predictable.

Crowd at the first test will be a lot of fun if England don't win!

 

[Cruxdude]

Hope NZ add to English woes. Would be fun seeing them lose and KP scoring another big one.

 

[Kyle]

Maybe he's not going to play for England again because they've made him coach?

Sky Sports confirming he's been told he won't play again. ECB, you've gotta love them.

 

[Cruxdude]

Seems like it is confirmed ****ing England! How daft are they? Come on Australia! time for a 5-0.

 

[GIMH]

Is it confirmed or is everyone just going off what Aggers has said?

Not it that I doubt Aggers, but

BBC Sport - Kevin Pietersen: No England recall despite scoring 326 for Surrey

Everybody reporting it now!

Thanks a lot Clint McKay

Not it that I doubt Aggers, but

Sky Sports News reporting it. It's "Sky Sources understand" at the moment though.

He really hates KP, definitely one of a select few such as Agnew,Newman Pringle and Selvey who are very much yes men for the ECB.
