Kevin Pietersen's Autobiography.

[yuppie]

I know Stewart used to be Mark Butcher's brother in law.

Totally irrelevant here but I thought I'd mention it.

Stewart has said he spoke out due to the fact that the account owner stated he did not say anything to Stewart.

"The reason why I'm prepared to talk about this is because Bailey said he didn't say anything to me, therefore doubting my integrity and I won't have that," said Stewart

No idea if Stewart is trust worthy or not, but he always did seem a decent chap.

If this is true, then KP does have a case IMHO

He supports Chelsea.... #justsaying

In all seriousness though, not sure a rather likeable player would risk public reputation to lie for KP and be untrue.

Maybe Stewart was told a lie?

I think he had a few Wicket keepers under his management, maybe Ambrose as well.

The Media Column, the very occasionally funny bit on Cricket365.com every Friday, was taken to task last week for claiming that Matt Prior cheerleader-in-chief Alec Stewart is also Prior's agent. In fact, Stewart is no longer Prior's agent.

In 2004, Stewart became a founding director of Arundel Promotions with specific responsibility for player management and representation. Cricket playing clients include Paul Collingwood, Ian Bell, Ashley Giles and Matt Prior.[8]

If ever I mention 'governance' in company most people's eyes glaze over - that is the one's that aren't already asleep.

The slightest hint of gossip however soon wakes them up.

Don't expect any change at the ECB.

Aggers has taken some stick on twitter over this. However the person who got so angry he suggested Aggers be the first UK victim of the ebola virus was out of order.

The Aussies are going to have a lot of fun with this next summer.

That's why Alec Stewart got involved. Becuase he told the ECB about this, with Bailey revealing that Bres, Swann and Broad having passwords. Stewart spoke out, he says, because he feels that Bailey denying this impugns his integrity.

Graeme Smith backs up bullying claim.

Gotcha. I'm getting lost now.

Graeme Smith coming out is an interesting one, simply because him and KP have a well documented history of not getting one terribly well

320 pages. Made from sustainable sources. £10 in hardback.

The picture is in muted colour with the vibe of classic black and white. Like a crop of an Armani advert, or one of those he does for watches.

Kevin is pictured in torso. His characteristic effeminate caveman look is discernible, but hidden behind a huge conveyance of concern. He looks older than he should, the penalty for earning his living out of doors. But he looks worried, and very serious, like he has something important to tell us. Like a messenger in a tragedy.

This copy smells only faintly of a book. The cover suggests it should smell of a rather manly aftershave. Maybe it is too new to smell yet of a book.

It starts off with a well known analogy of a person being out of step with the world, but blaming the world. He's telling us, he understands how we see him, and he wants to include us in the telling of the story.

But on the back cover, it makes clear this is the story of a victim.

I think they must have made up when they played at Surrey together.

[Aidan11]

I'll wait for the paperback version and the inevitable "updated extra chapter".

[Gingerfinch]

When Smith backs up the 'bullying' claim, what is he referring to? I take it the bowlers shouting at the fielders.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Ironic seeing it was Smith's team that brought the crisis to a head with the leaked texts. But it would have got there anyway.
