To criticize a current teammate in open is bad.Swann also called Smait a mediocre fat spinner. I wonder if all those comments about Samit made by various members of the team come out in open how many of them will still be available for selection :D

Jimmy basically infered that Vaughan was not a people's person and that he thought he had no time for him and didnt rate him, and that he didnt treat him as an individual and hints that he lacked the skills to treat people as individuals. He also basically says that Vaughan's achievements came down to having a team of legends and not captaincy.

Im pretty sure the person who these comments were aimed at would feel hurt and insulted by them.

If someone can fine KP for saying how did Knight ever work his way into a commentary box then others too should be fined.Mind you in neither of the cases a player should be fined but if one player is fined then the other guy too should be.

Is it in the contracts of England players that they are not allowed to say anything about the commentators? Find that quite surprising. And a bit intrusive.
I always say that everybody's right.

SORRY

Are we talking about KP's comment about Knight?

If so, then I agree that both 'crimes' should be treated the same.

Sorry sussex, I thought we were comparing KP's comments about Strauss to Jimmy's and Vaughan's.

My mistake :)
