Kevin Pietersen must explain himself to Andrew Strauss | The Sun |Sport|Cricket
Kevin Pietersen in trouble again as talks with England captain Andrew Strauss held up - Telegraph


noticeably short on details but the journos on twitter and in their articles are talking of this as matter of fact.

Must have come through the england dressing room. Hardly surprising. There can't be many in the dressing room who don't hate this guy. Free season on KP


according to journos on twitter he said to the dressing room (taylor not there) that 'he was the worst player i've seen play for england'.

Surprising given some of the retards who have played ODI and T20 cricket in his time.

Well I've defended KP more than most but that outburst against Taylor sounds utterly bizarre. Completely lost the plot by the sound of things.

KP was in the team when Amjad Khan played his only test, wasn't he? Might've even played with Schofield when he was briefly recalled to the T20 squad as well. That being so he's clearly being way too harsh on wee JT.

Makes one wonder who the "senior player" is who confronted KP is too. My money's on Prior.

Whole thing sounds as if Pietersen has gotten too big for his boots. It'll be very interesting to see if he's offered a central contract or if he accepts one if he is.

Taylor does look rank ordinary early doors tbf. But he has some competition for that mantle.

I'm sure some apologists will whine about another leak. Yet for me he can just **** off to the IPL, they deserve each other, time to draw the line under the ****.

Look, I love Pietersen but if he's gonna criticise m'boi Taylor then ****'s gonna get real....

Just to back up Grecian's point.. the whole leaking thing has got a bit boring. Pietersen was obviously in the wrong, at least initially, but now it just seems like they're trying to find out how bad they can make him look before he retaliates and they point the finger saying "I told you so, look how mean that KP is!". Credit to him he's not risen to it yet IMO.

Well yeah, at best I'm reserving judgement (I was expressing my doubts even before he made the side, so am now caught between my overarching desire to say "told you so" and wanting to see a young bloke do well, because I'm not a total ****) but a senior pro bagging out a kid on debut in front of pretty much the whole team is the exact opposite of what I understand by "team spirit".
