    It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

    Don't buy the jealousy angle myself either, not that I've heard too many people bring it up tbh, although a bit of jealousy over money in team sports isn't unheard of. The only times they've said anything about KP publically is, has already been mentioned to do with the Captaincy thing, I...

    Strauss Retires From Cricket

    Sad to see Straussy go, he's done a lot for the English game. It's been quite a decline though these last couple of years, I had hoped after the WI series that he could find his feet again but alas it didn't happen. On the subject of next i line, personally I'd like Root to get another year...

    It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

    Yep pretty much what I've said, Morgan thinks he's doing him a favor when he's obviously not.

    No problem.

    It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

    Not sure how I've got personal seen as you're opinion of the bloke is well known and there for all to see, so why you have to get childish but hey if makes you feel better go for it mate. As for believing everything KP says and taking his side, not at all and I've said he was in the wrong...

    It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

    I now you're feelings about the guy long before any of this happen, you've now just said that you think Morgan is the mouth piece of KP and that he's doing his talking through him, so you've made that jump all by yourself haven't you, like I said it would do you to you. Can't see how anything...

    It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

    LOL course he is and it would to you. Personally couldn't give a **** what he says but he probably thinks he's backing up a mate.

    It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

    Obviously he was in the wrong initially but now it's silly season and journos have got a bit of blood and now they're in for the kill, it's how the press work. Guys like Pringle, who funny enough wanted him dropped before the second test have never had a good word to say about the bloke and they...

    *Official* English Domestic Cricket 2012

    Absolute rip snorter ball from Jones though, almost like a fast leg break just like the glory days, that's two jaffas he's had in a row to get rid of him. Played well up to that point as well and looked for all money he was eyeing up a ton, got dropped on 41 by Walters but it was a difficult...

    Duncan Fearnley Bats

    I remember Botham used one, Gooch and Lamb from the England side. Used to have a DF Magnum in the 80's, had such a sweat middle on it compared to other bats of the time I used, like the V12 or the GN scoop. Funnily enough they make a Retro DF Magnum bat now, looks just the same as I remember.

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    Agree they are better but different league is pure hyperbole imo.

    How long will South Africa be no.1 for?

    A lot will depend on how they go at home, the past 3 years or so has only seen them win one series but they do seem to do better abroad. Haven't got a clue tbh, could get knocked off quickly or could last a couple of years, will heavily depend on the form of England, Australia & India in the...

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    There was that but for me Broad although he had good spells, was nowhere near as good as he was last year and in the winter, he's lost a bit of pace and he couldn't maintain that great length and accuracy that we became accustomed to seeing. You could also argue that Anderson although he was...

    It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

    There's an article that I remember reading years ago, I think it was by quite a famous SA journalist that predicted exactly that, never been able to find it since though. Said it from the start, I personally hope this can be sorted out and we can move on because I don't think what's happened...

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    I'd have Prior in our Twenty20 side been a monster for Sussex this year.

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    Prior Mots, much deserved really showed up this series compared to others, well done. Well done to Vern as well, top notch all series.

    Agree.

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    Yep the top order and the catching has been awful tbh.

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    Can't have missed more than a handful of overs all series.

    **Official** South Africa in England 2012

    Agree, SA bullied England in the 1st test but the next two were very very close, with a few innings almost mirroring each other. England really needed to win one of the remaining test convincingly though to have deserved it but I'd have taken today if we'd have got there.
