    He hasn't actually disagreed with them yet, he has just asked for an explanation and transparency which is fair enough. It was the same with Vaughan on radio 5 this morning who said pretty much the same thing as Beefy but also criticised KP for his attitude and the problems he does bring to the changing room.

    That's a totally different argument. They were all still picked for their country because they were still good enough to play for their country. If he's caused a bit of bother this time around, send him home and fine him but don't ban him from ever playing again. Pietersen is the best batsman England have yet they are prepared to kick him out because they can't man manage him. That's a pathetic reason to drop your best player.
    Even if he averages 100+ in the County Championship they still won't pick him, what's that all about? Lesser men and bigger trouble causers than him have not been banned from playing for their country - George Best, Balotelli, Tevez etc

    I see what your saying but it's a 3 month tour when England play away not a trip to play one game or at most a month at tournaments so playing for England at cricket is similar to playing for a club or county side.

    Sorry for posting about it again but theres a few that like cricket on here.

    Piers as dug into Matt Prior by saying he said
    'Flower's behaving like a headmaster, this is a schoolboy environment. F**K Flower! This is OUR team!' - [MENTION=6710]Matt[/MENTION]Prior13 to England team.
    after one of the tests and Matt priors hit back but not denied it.

    Bonkers, Looking more and more like KP's been left out to dry by people he though were friends.

    The younger players in England team love @KP24 . It's the older ones who didn't get IPL deals who resent him - they want his cash & talent.
    Piers as also come out with that and I think theres a lot of truth in that statement, Anderson and Bell i thinks been reject more than once by the ipl

    Absolute rubbish, you can't hack the fact he's disruptive and his bosses have had enough.

    http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/current/story/716589.html Good article for anyone to read there.

    IF whoevers made this decision can't handle players like Pietersen then they have the problem. Hes got a great cricket brain.

    The Aussie teams not all friends. Watson and Clarke hardly speak and they stand next to each other.
    Pointing write, Clarke cares about one person, thats Michael Clarke or something similar in his book.
    Warne and pointing didn't get along and he said he called a coach a clown and he learn't one thing off him in years.

    Haha "it's not Pietersen's fault for being an intolerable pr1ck, it's everyone else's fault for not being able to deal with having an intolerable pr1ck in the dressing room."

    I think you'll find that these people are quoting hemsroyd, or at least reading his mind.

    Not Cook on Christmas day or when Graeme Swann described KP's attitude as great on the 27th of January.

    Do you really think they'd publicly say "I hate the ******"?

    From the way his sacking has come about and the way statements have been worded it's clear that if he wasn't a pr1ck this wouldn't have happened.

    IF he can't stand disagreements with team mates thats bad, from what you hear the likes of warne and the other knowledgeable people say hes got the best cricket brain in the England team then thats really bad.

    Ali Cooks got big friends in the dressing room. Anderson Swann and Broad amongst others are big Cook mates,

    Swanns defended him since leaving the England team.

    Go listen to it on not just cricket. Hes not got a reason to lie any more. He's likely to be working for a tv company soon
