Has there ever been a Test cricketer to whine to the papers so much as...

[Jono]

LOL @ KP. I hope that's true.

Watson's easily the biggest jackass in cricket.

Tragic that he's talented, if he wasn't such a tool I'd like him.

That was reported here in The Age, too.

Actually, he's never spoken about Kym Johnson publicly until now.
Here's an article which confirms that:

And this is his new girlfriend: Lee Furlong

my god. for a man who averages 60 with the ball and 20 with the bat this is too much. no wonder some people think there is no God. now he will stop being a whiner and top the list of moaners.

I came across this tidbit recently on the telegraph which i thought was quite amusing:
"First, there was the incident with Kevin Pietersen. This occurred after Watson was disappointed to discover that his fiancee, the professional dancer Kym Johnson, had left him for Tom Williams, her partner on Dancing with the Stars. Pietersen had just put Watson in row Z and Watson attempted to give him some agg. KP just smiled and allegedly replied: 'You're just upset 'cos no one loves you any more.' Watson, infuriated, stomped off to square-leg. Ricky Ponting and Damien Martyn are said to have approached Pietersen to congratulate him on the sledge."

Sounds apocryphal, but you never know. Losing your girlfriend to Tom Williams is a bit of a body blow though. Mind you, it would not surprise me in the slightest if someday Williams came out of the closet, so that just adds fuel to the fire as far as Johnson's gender is concerned. And Watto's new girlfriend doesn't look the slightest bit suss, so I think everybody wins in the end.

Yeah. Have to agree with that. I bet there's a lot of former Ipswich Boys' Grammar school boys laughing everytime something bad happens to him, he would have been the biggest bully known to mankind.

He's one of the few QLDers that I can't warm to. I want to see him do well of course, but just can't like him.

IIRC it was Goughy in one of the ODIs beforehand.

Yep, good old Google:

Talking of whom, Goughie must be somewhere near the top of the list when it comes to whining in the papers nowadays.

What?

A Yorkshireman over the age of 35 moaning? My God, who'd have thought it? Have the authorities been informed?!
