My therapist said yesterday that if I had one more day without getting angry I'd have been cured for good.


Thanks a lot Strauss.

Apparently Graves was also in agreement he couldn't be trusted..... according to Harrison.....

So why did he mentioned him as soon as he got the job?

This Graves seems utterly idiotic. Has he done or said anything positive yet, or just made himself look like a clown

Strauss asked KP if he would consider being an advisor on one day cricket.


Yet he doesn't trust him. You just couldn't make this up.

Surely you just did make that up, or someone did? I refuse to believe that is true?

"I cant work with you, trust issues, but fancy a job as an advisor"

Where did you get that from

I am seriously considering ripping out my sky satellite, cancelling my account on this site, taking away my proxy settings from my internet settings so I don't get UK websites..... and pretending that cricket doesn't exist anymore.

This surely undermines everything else Strauss said.

Wants him to be an advisor yet clearly doesn't trust him??

I thought Pietersen wanted to help England in any way he could, now he turns down the opportunity of an advisory position, double standards I call it. He really is an arse.

The ECB that leaked KP's contract negotiations.

That let the personal dodgy dossier end up on the desk at cricinfo.

That ECB can't trust Pietersen.

Graeme Smith: ""I see the head boy is making English cricket the laughing stock again!"

I'd say 95% of international cricketers and journalists think this is the wrong decision which tells you all you need to know.

What coach is going to look at all of this, and think they want to be a part of it? The wages had better be good.

Andrew Strauss has proved he's an idiot on about 5 different levels within a very short time.

I have a ticket for day 3 of the 1st Ashes test and would love to see KP one more time smashing the aussies around, but what I'll probably see is something completely different.
