Kevin Pietersen's Autobiography.

[Arthur Crabtree]

You can imagine how this might get worse once the batters started to struggle.

[SaintPowelly]

Until a victim of this "bullying" comes forward, and it isn't someone with 'scores to settle' and has something to lose, then it isn't worth the paper its printed on.

I hope he gets sued for slander.

but it hurt the young players, especially the batters'

The young batters like James Taylor that KP didn't want there in the first place ??

Excusing Jimmy Anderson he continues:

'The clique were extrovert and loud, and turned the dressing room into a batters v bowlers environement. The batters were guys like Ian Bell, Alastair Cook, Jonathan trott, Eoin Morgan, Joe Root, Ravi Bopara. None of those guys would say boo to a goose. It's just not in their nature.

As a result they would just take the abuse on a daily basis.... But then, in a Test match against Bangladesh, Trott was at deep square leg, and he just cracked.'

Good stuff this. Some of the time I think a lot of the problem is that KP hasn't got a sense of humour, or he neither understands nor likes irony. But this is quite convincing.

So all the batsmen except him were weak wimps and this book is written to save them from any future wickedness. Trott cracked ( must have been when his troubles began) but Pietersen was there to save him no doubt.

He is already on record saying he noticed a problem with Trott, and told Flower who ignored him.

I doubt Trott's problem start as early as march 2010.

[Arthur Crabtree]

The email from Rahul Dravid (page 95) is so kind and thoughtful. And Pietersen was so proud of it. It was quite touching. Rahul is such an admirable man.

Haven't really been online for the last few days but surprised to see the number of posts given that we don't have a strong anti-KP arguer like D/L.

Arthur Crabtree and rich1uk are the worst.

[shankycricket]

The question is what does KP do when his playing career is over?

It's unlikely anyone will trust him now in cricket. Can't see him joining Sky or TMS.

Probably go to SA to coach?

Will definitely do a commentary stint at some point on Star Sports here in India. He was great as a studio analyst in the 2012 World T20.

[shankycricket]

Why is KPs word being taken as gospel ??

He'd be sued for libel if anything he wrote against the England players/management was untrue.

Only if it can be proved that hes lying. Its annoying that he paints himself as a saint in every scenario.

Except that he hasn't. He says he regrets a lot of things himself.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Yes, he can be hard on himself. Though he never forgets a snub. Surprising given how many there have been.
