Nick Hoult and Stephen Brenkley were the two most pro ECB, anti KP journos (with Selvey, Henderson and Pringle) out there, and they have written articles questioning the ECB governance. So maybe things are moving. But if the ECB sit quiet and do nothing, what can happen? Maybe only if Sky and the sponsors get restless will they have to do anything. Clarke said the organisation of English cricket was of no interest to supporters. A big pipe down message.

The amusing thing is that it's the ECBs leak that is causing the negative sentiment, rather than anything KP has said. With hindsight, it was a poor decision to let the one brain cell the ECB have between them go on annual leave.

KP doesn't like the bowlers but goes out with Stuart Broad?

He says he has a good relationship with them. In fact, with everyone but Cheese and Hoover.

Seems Alec Stewart is now weighing in, saying that the fake parody account creator told him that Broad, Swann and Bresnan all had passwords and access to update the account, and that he told Andy Flower and Hugh Morris about it, but no action was taken

I think that my account has been closest to the truth so far.

Stewart has said he spoke out due to the fact that the account owner stated he did not say anything to Stewart.

"The reason why I'm prepared to talk about this is because Bailey said he didn't say anything to me, therefore doubting my integrity and I won't have that," said Stewart

No idea if Stewart is trust worthy or not, but he always did seem a decent chap.

If this is true, then KP does have a case IMHO

He supports Chelsea.... #justsaying

In all seriousness though, not sure a rather likeable player would risk public reputation to lie for KP and be untrue.

Isn't Stewart Mat Prior's agent?

I know Stewart used to be Mark Butcher's brother in law.

Totally irrelevant here but I thought I'd mention it.

I think he had a few Wicket keepers under his management, maybe Ambrose as well.
