Yeah you would most certainly expect that from the paper he writes for.

It's some local paper with the interview itself, tbf

That's actually a very fair comment. And also he must have been pretty naive to think his retirement announcement now wouldn't have created this circus.........it's is **** that his Grandmother has been dragged into it (impossible to condone that) but at the end of the day this is a mess he created. I'm sure no one would have been interested in what his grandmother has to say if he had retired in 2 weeks time.

Or had he retired without basically giving a rag of a red top the scoop on it anyway.

Maybe his agent has advised him to do this. Sure ratchets up anticipation for a book. A cynical world we live in, etc.

I'd say not very. Take from this what you will but this has to be the best interview I've ever seen from KP.......

Loving the talk and the honesty but can it transcend onto the turf come Thursday??

Very rarely gives them these days so seems strange he has done this one. Is it a case of him trying to take one for the team as there was obviously going to be questions about Swann etc... or just his ego fronting this all out?

I think so. I actually think he does them really well - no bull****, just calling things as they are - but geez they can be uncomfortable viewing.

It does seem like they were not ready for Australia to put up a fight. Seems like CW posters were expecting a bigger Aussie fight back than the English players or management.

I actually don't think that is doing them well. Sure, the media and certain punters might like the whole calling a spade a spade thing but most of the time it's not actually a good idea from a pragmatic point of view. After all I'm sure most of us agree with Swann here regarding "some players" in international cricket being up their own backsides but that doesn't mean it was a sensible thing to say.

This is just intellectual snobbery. No one is a better person for reading or writing for the guardian which is just as capable of low acts as any paper.

He probably is. It's certainly the impression he gives.
