sorry shanks but i really dont agree with that

without obviously knowing exactly what was said in the texts but going by the media reports i dont think they are what he actually thinks of those two

put it this way if that was the case then he is finished and probably quite rightly so

I think the texts were a way at having a pop. I bet he actually likes them deep down @naivety!

Jeepers what an arrogant b*stard he sounds. If that's his normal way of speaking he should be charged with bringing English cricket into disrepute.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

as soon as he uttered the phrase "hes not a proper englishman anyway is he" then you could have just switched off as you dont really need to hear any more

too much of this saga has been influenced by people's opinions of KP as a person rather than a cricketer and when you keep getting bulls**t like that thrown in your face from the supposed cricket establishment that henderson claims to represent then no wonder you might react

Henderson is a pratt in that interview, so he spoke to 100 people (MCC Members) out of 28,000 people at lords, and not the Riff-raff, like me who pay good money.

The Barmy army spokesman makes fair points.

Why is standard to mention Taylor's height?

First, there were rumours that KP told the South Africans to go around the wicket to Strauss even though they have been doing it for the last 3 series. And now KP is bein accused of criticising a player, whom he was encouraging and guiding on the field during their partnership? You just couldn't make it up. The ECB could come up with better excuses tbh because this is childish (if it wasn't already). :facepalm

Strauss returned from a family holiday in Spain on Sunday to find more Kevin Pietersen revelations in the press.


So if KP criticised Taylor "openly", how did Strauss come to know about it only today?
