He was strangely overlooked for Michael Vaughan's book.

No point buying it, the bits most will be interested in will be all over the press anyway.

Which will give the press another story. No one buys KP's book.

Good one. Though I was wondering if his popularity in India might better be turned into sales by an Indian name. Not a single Aussie will read a word of KP's book.

Maybe Darren Lehman might.

Hopefully it will be something like the foreword to the ripping yarns collection

Introduction by a very famous man

The collection of outrageous and offensive erotica which fills these pages does no credit to its authors, Sandy and Knud Urkstrom, and even less to a publisher of Oxford University Press' reputation.
I only wish it possessed a fraction of the brilliance and insight of Kevin Pietersen's autobiography, for which it was my privilege to write an introduction earlier today.

Regretfully yours,
an extremely famous and charismatic personality

PS. Could you send me twelve more copies for some friends who I know will be equally offended

Or they could just get /Michael Henderson.

With the gloves off at midnight, there might be a few blows in KPs Telegraph column. If it's still going.
