It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

[honestbharani]

Sorry but this was the stance people were taking last year when KP started acting like a tool. What's to say he wouldn't have had a recall but for everything he did since his dropping? Same applies again. He can open his mouth when it's all done and dusted. Even if his chances are 20%, 10% or 1%, why eliminate it and reduce that percentage?

KP may be winning the PR war with the masses but he's not helping himself.

As usual, conveniently forgetting facts like he was injured to be playing in the CC as well as there being absolutely no reason to play CC coz no matter what he scored, he was not gonna be picked for the highest honors... Vintage GIMH..

People really have very high standards if they are willing to diss an innings of 355* with the next highest score being 36. Just come out and say you do not want to have in the team for other reasons rather than trying to talk down a player of known international quality who is back to full fitness and has just made ****ing 355*.

Let's assume Ballance gets found out in an embarassing manner and cant get it off the square... hell, why Ballance? Say Moeen/Stokes do ****all, are you saying you wouldn't consider KP. I'm not even saying he should be selected, and neither is KP. But if he's scoring runs and the batting lineup isn't perfect, he should be in the frame for selection. That's all even KP was saying.

Well I wouldn't consider KP for Stokes or Moeen as they both members of the 5 man bowling attack and seeing as KP bowls ****e arm offspin then he should never be considered to replace them.

When Sanga is constantly potting you, you know you're ****.

His second pot shot at England too. Wag

God this is just unbelievable.

 

[Pothas]

I hate Colin Graves so much right now.

 

[Jono]

I hate to admit Jono was right, but if they'd never bothered bringing KP back in 2012 I don't think anyone would have beef with that.

Granted, we'd have not won in india tho

Deliciousness.

The best thing about this was the argument that "hey have you noticed its only the non English fans that are calling for KP to return, because they don't know anything about English cricket" etc etc **** looks woeful now.

Thankfully such denigration of other people's view has taken a ****ing battering.

 

[Jono]

What's with the "oh, it's a road" responses anyway? Has any 300+ score ever been made on a pitch which wasn't an international-standard landing strip?

Part of the shifting of the goal posts.

 

[Pothas]

Who has been a bigger **** over the KP issue, Jono or Piers Morgan? Genuine question.

 

[honestbharani]

Jono.. whats with you and your love for talented but narcissistic batsmen?

that was ****ing atrocious posting. Oh look it's just the non-English, you don't know squat. **** off. Such rubbish.

You missed the post where I pointed out that Woakes and KP can come in for Stokes/Moeen. You still have your 5 man attack, and you atleast have a batsman now in KP. How is this something which you're not even willing to consider.

Do a poll of who thinks he should be recalled, with options for England fans and non. See what results you get.

I don't think it's anything to do with knowing anything about English cricket; I wouldn't genuinely be that arrogant. But do we want him in the team? It's not as clearcut as you seem to think

Sadly the answer to Pothas's question is still Piers Morgan. Then it's he who shall not be named who has never discovered multi quote or the concept of a thread moving on. And then Jono.

Ha ha. This is so true.

That wouldn't leave 5 bowlers. Unless you're counting KP as one.

There's a subtle difference though - Piers Morgan behaves like a **** because he is a **** whereas Jono only behaves like a **** when he's bored and wants to wind folk up

How? You are replacing two bowlers with one - Woakes.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Tbf, Sanga isn't some mouse mannered dude who doesn't say a bad word about anyone ala VVS. He always speaks his mind... he says it in an eloquent and non-dickish manner, but that's about it. Certainly loves bashing SLCB (deservedly) every chance he gets.

Stokes and Moeen and not two bowlers. And they're not two batsmen. They're bits and pieces currently. Picking one bowler and KP in their place makes sense to me.

 

[harsh.ag]

Hmm... But then again, in the past England have shown a penchant for the B&P.
