Pietersen hospitalised

[GIMH]

KP has suffered a setback in his recovery and has been taken to hospital. On SSN. Not good.

Pity to hear, hopefully he will be back soon.

 

[GIMH]

Infected scar tissue, apparently.

Pity to hear, hopefully he will be back soon.

In time for the next IPL.

 

[The Sean]

Infected scar tissue, apparently.

Not quite as bad as the ruptured achilles they were first reporting, but still not good.

ECB were hoping that he would play in the ODI's against Australia, now it looks like he may even miss the Champions Trophy.

And if Fred needs work after the 5th test and takes time out, England are already shot before they played a game.

I heard the SSN presenter (possibly Simon Thomas, I bet he wishes he was still on Blue Peter) say in a rather alarmed voice that Pietersen "may now miss the Champions Trophy".

Can't say I shared his alarm.

 

[GIMH]

Haha, does anyone care about that tournament this year?

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Haha, has anyone ever cared about that tournament?

Fix'd.

 

[DIRK-NANNES]

NZ does
I mean, we have won it before

 

[Richard]

Fix'd.

Champions Trophy's problem has always been that not enough people care about it - it could be a damn good tourney if they did. Given they don't, there's sod-all point holding it at all really.

Either way, just hope Pietersen can improve ASAP. And not just be fit to play, be fit to perform properly.
