The enigma that is Kevin Pietersen

Sorry, perhaps I didn't make myself clear, I was referring more to an official deadline (ICC confirmation or whatever)

There isn't one.

Let the grand U turn begin.

"Pietersen's return is subject to a "reintegration" period, which Anderson joked "sounds like he is an offender being released into the community"."

Well..., yes!

Where is the joke in that statement?

"David Collier, the ECB chief executive, has apologised for suggesting that South African players "provoked" Kevin Pietersen into sending the messages that led to the player being dropped from the England team."

More apologies all round....

This molehill has become one massive mountain.

Wonder when Collier begins his rehab.

“Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive!”

This is simply more evidence of the lack of integrity in both camps. It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that Pietersen and the ECB deserve each other.

How can they do this. Is it politics or a silly mistake. If that's true then they should remove the rehab clause for KP. Bring him back as a team man and sack the culprits in board for messing around with team unity. Also, i now wonder whether Swann , Jimmy and broad will think differently.

[Gingerfinch]

Labour will be wanting an independent enquiry next.

It all just goes to show quite how daft the ECB have been from the very start of all this, it's quite nice to see them finally be hoisted by their own petard.

[Making_Splinters]

After months of huffing and puffing he's back in all forms of the game.

[Arthur Crabtree]

He's back.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Actually, I've changed my mind. The game is bigger than one man. If he wants, he can play all the IPL he likes. Bad form, ECB.

In next weeks episode, KP says something to a reporter that's blown all out of proportion that has Oliver Hardy (Clarke) tearing his hair out. The media has a field day and Clarke likes his new improved hairstyle. Meanwhile Stan Laurel (Collier) opens his mouth with hilarious results.
