It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

In the context of a dressing room he'd apparently love to join again, not the smartest move regardless of whether he meant it sincerely. Some guys get physical for even suggesting it.
Tbf, if a miracle does happen and he gets to join the team, it will probably be at the expense of Ballance, so it's okay :happy:

Yeah but it's still ill-advised in the context of a professional sporting community such as CC, it's best just to keep quiet about this stuff. Not only is KP rubbishing Ballance for being scared of short balls against guys who, whilst pacy, aren't out and-out quicks anyway, he's making a rod for his own increasingly creaky back by encouraging every quick in the country to test out the middle of the deck every time he's in the firing line (and you bet every young punk will be dying to do so). No news travels faster than a new guy with some pace or someone who's past it and ripe for the picking. Even if he's still picking them up well, it's just added aggrevation he surely didn't need, just intensifies the chat.

If he'd retired from CC and was just a commentaror, say whatever the hell he wants. But as someone who may play CC again, well, I hope he's been doing his yoga.

Ha ha, yeah. That would be awesome to watch though. Am sure he would take them on. The only time nowadays KP plays well is when he feels he's really being challenged.

Norwood's on Fire
Was taking the piss there tbh. :laugh:

Anyway, GIMH's vitcim complex here with him going all "oh everyone is ganging up on me making me out to be an unfair KP hater" is hilarious.
Ah the I was only joking defence. lol

Not even giving your victim mentality thing time of day, don't think I don't know what you're doing.

He did what he was asked to do and was still ignored. Now while he would love to get back in to the test team he knows there is no way in. Let a man earn money fairly. Using this to say he is an idiot is just ignoring everything that has happened in the past couple of months.

Ok, how can we arrange to let the Indians have KP so this can all stop?? We don't ****ing want him and they seem to love him........surely the solution is fairly simple.

You know it makes sense.

On GIMH's side here. If he wants to get in he won't be publicly criticising his potential teammates.

Having an opinion is fine, but he shouldn't keep up the "I want to get back in" schtick if he won't act accordingly.

And AS IF a team member or prospective team member should comment on a team-mate's technique. If Cook made those comments he would rightly be slammed.
Clarke did about Twatto tbf
