Rob Key - stick to pie-eating

International 12th Man

Rob Key tends to enrage me whenever he appears in the media. He comes across as smug, arrogant, far too sold on his own abilities and as having a massive chip on his shoulder.

But I thought today's intervention took the biscuit, where he put himself forward for the England captaincy in the World T20. He said:

"I suppose if you look at the squad there is a few of us with captaincy experience, but there are a few things to put right before we get to that. We need to get a coach in and then see who's in the final 15. It would be an unbelievable job [to be captain] - but there are a few who could do it."

Ex-f***-ing-scuse me? "We need to get a coach in"? Who's this "we" from a guy who hasn't played international cricket of any description since 2005, and has hardly set county cricket alight since then?

Why don't you try and get in the squad first, matey, and then try and get into the team, before you start talking about captaining England or making out that you're on the inside somehow? There are at least 4 people ahead of you in the queue at the moment, all of whom walk into the T20 side and have considerable international experience.

C**k off back to your mediocre county.

I've never heard him talk, haven't seen mcuh of his batting, and don't have any opinion at all on Rob Key, but I feel the above post is based on a previous hate for him, as I can't see much wrong at all with both the above responses. Pure bias in my opinion.

he's up there with Chris Schofield as being the worst of the last fifteen years though, surely?

Richard Dawson
Liam Plunkett
Rikki Clarke
Amjad Khan

TEC, you've had the word 'overrated' misspelt in your signature for 5 years now. Change it :p
