The enigma that is Kevin Pietersen

I have just tweeted Dilbert's comment. Couldn't have put it better myself.

There does seem to be some double standards but IMO KP was rightly dropped.

Words of wisdom are not welcome on this thread Ginger, so stop it.

Oh the irony

When you hear people saying that the results are not important, debate becomes infeasible.

Is this the longest ever thread on the site?

Does the KP fiasco thing even matter now considering the text's relate to a former Captain in his previous capacity as test batsman?

[greyblazer]

And I don't think too many on here would say what KP did was correct but it should have been definitely sorted out by now. So what is this point of words of wisdom?

The question is whether we will win more matches with KP or without him. What do you think? If its the former, then it surely can't be the "right" thing to drop KP? I was under the impression that you play cricket or any other sport, for that matter, to win matches? Thats not rocket science, is it?

Nothing wrong with dropping him for one game. The problem I see is that, he hasn't been recalled as I was under the impression that he would be, if he apologised.

There isn't any similarity between Anderson and KPs comments about Vaughan and Knight aside from both were blown massively out of proportion.

Is an email from his agent a real apology, not in my book.

Oh, was that it?

I think there's world of difference between KPs cheeky and naive candour, and Anderson's utterly chilling Pinteresque understatement...

“Cheeky and naïve candour”? Presumably then, the wording of the texts are in the public domain. Can anyone provide a link so we may all form an opinion? Or is this just yet more speculation about the substance of the issue?

Not even close.
