England end KP's international career.

Pigeons and buses, more like, with intonation so affected that I used to wonder if it was a parody, but a parody can't be maintained for so many years.

Indeed. As someone who (thankfully) only hears Blofeld every few years, it seemed to me, last time I heard him, that the plum has grown quite large, the pauses and stutterings more present, and the times he gives actual information about the game diminished.

It'd be interesting to hear Strauss' opinion on all these people.

Only heard about Strauss' supposedly off mike comments today. He's gone up in my estimation as up til now I had him down as a complete dullard.

I think he's still a dullard but a dullard with a bigger vocabulary than we imagined.

Strauss can continue as a Sky commentator, and they are putting their efforts into finding out why his 'complete *modded*' comment made its way onto air.

I'm quite looking forward to reading KP's take on these events in his book. I don't normally read many cricket books, but I'll be keen to see that one.

I've never noticed that swearing is an indicator of an interesting personality? Or abusing absent people particularly admirable.

Save your money AC, all the interesting bits will be very quickly in the public domain.

When does the book come out?

Central contracts end in September along with the gagging order, so soon after that I imagine.

It's more likely to be Morgan's.

The only cricketing autobiographies I have read, and was glad I had, were the ones by Duncan Fletcher and, of course, Geoffrey Boycott.
