It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

[Adders]

I want to see Pietersen back in South Africa to play for South Africa it would be amazing to see him back the home boy, imagine him play against England at lords for South Africa.

And I want to **** Margot Robbie.............is there a point to this??

The way England have treated Kevin is a disgrace really, Kevin should just jump ship now without any regrets.

Think he already has tbh, at least to the extent he can.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Nah, they don't want to destroy all 18 counties.......only the ones that are practically Scotland.

The ECB firstly implemented central contracts which reduced the counties to nothing much more than a nursery school for Ing-ger-land. They removed two games per season for 2017, creating a lopsided structure as a result which makes absolutely no sense whatever angle you care to analyse it from. They want to create an eight team city-based competition independent of the counties, which will no doubt conflict with the county's three competitions, reducing them to second XI status. Treasure your academy (I do not know what your county is)? Then kiss goodbye to it as the ECB have had other ideas about county academies,

How much more proof does one need that the ECB wants to destroy county cricket (or at best, reduce it as a competition to complete impotence)?

PS

No county cricket in August 2017! Now, I do not know how great your knowledge of the English weather is but July/August are the best times to produce those idyllic English summers which are simply glorious for watching a day's county cricket. Not a jot of it on however this August! Instead you will be forced to endure Twenty20 shite which is evening so basically does not take advantage of the sunshine anyhow, and nobody spends ''a day at the cricket'' at Twenty20.

He already has done. The problem is morons keep bringing him up when he has one good knock then ignore the previous 4 **** innings.

Would have been more interesting if he'd looked like this.

 

[grecian]

Second date? That's at least a handie ain't it?

Having said that Genie has appartently got a botfriend, so it's probably just put on. Yet still a nice change up to this ****ing aggravating thread.

Maybe he could give her some tennis lessons while they're at it. It's a shame how much her game has regressed.

But who cares when you can make more money through being a social media selfie superstar..

She over-achieved early really, her technique is appalling, About 45 in the World is about her level.

Svitolina is prettier and better.

and that's kind of on-topic in a cricket forum, well more than the rest of the convo.

I'm sure Pietersen has said anti-Test cricket stuff in the past, ''T20 is so exciting compared to Test cricket blah blah''. Now he has this to say,

He must have had massive withdrawal symptoms having not had his face in the news for a few weeks.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Pietersen is saying - if I have this correct - that the IPL pay is disproportionate and thus reflects poorly on Test cricket,

A T20 specialist becomes one of the current England team's richest players...Tests are falling way behind at the moment.

Wasn't - isn't - Pietersen one of the original Twenty20 merchants, getting himself in some problems with the ECB over IPL fixtures? He has probably been the cricketer who has benefited most from monetary inspired Twenty20 franchise hopping!!

And now he suddenly has decided to care about test cricket again!

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Just watched a 5 part documentary about Kevin Pietersen. He'd always obviously been a great player, but also seemed a complete prat. I was rather hoping he might make some effort to change the second part of that perception, but he seems quite proud of it.

James Taylor (not the 70s folk rock icon and Simpsons alumnus, the other one, y'know wee lad, bum ticker) has spilled one of the best kept secrets in cricket. Far from being the all round good egg everyone had hitherto thought, it turns out Kevin "Kevin" Pietersen is actually a monumental arsehole.

From the Wisden website

I didn’t know KP. For some reason we never got on, not that I didn’t like him initially because I didn’t know him, he just took it on himself not to be a decent bloke to me or with me around for some reason.

I was 21, making my debut, and there was so much noise. KP had obviously said stuff about me and abused me.

Heavy handed irony notwithstanding, WAC, eh?

Not just being standoffish to a newb, which is bad enough, but he actually went out of his way to be a prick to him too.

 

[Spikey]

“If Alastair Cook or Andrew Strauss had been going ‘that little James Taylor, he’s rubbish, he’s no good etcetera etcetera’ your heart would sink. But honestly, I had no feelings, nothing inside, because I didn’t respect him at the time because I’d seen how he was and what he’d been saying and how he’d behaved – I didn’t respect him as much as I should.”

hell yeah james.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

What about last week when he criticised Crawley and Sibley and said on social media that they should read the e-mail that Dravid sent him about batting on spinning tracks in Asia that made him a better player. If he wanted to help them he would surely have just found a way to send it them but he had to make it about him. Prick.
