It can't be gone if it is an issue of trust that potentially undermines team spirit and the team culture in the dressing room.
I don't think Andy Payton was very popular in the dressing room. Certainly John Hendrie wasn't a fan.
Read the statements when they were in India especially after the test in Mumbai. The matter was no more. If you believe that statement then you are one gullible person.
Thought so, Payton certainly knew where the net was. Was worried when he left. But Danny knew what he was doing.
I take it the statement you are referring to is one of the ones about Pietersen getting axed rather than the ones you refer to from India. So what you're saying is it's gullible to believe a statement about KP's axing, but you can confidently say that the text thing wasn't an issue...because a statement said so. Can you see a slight problem with that?
The players have openly said so. Cook Prior Anderson Swann have all come out and said that was in the past. Just go and listen to the last not just cricket. Swann quite clearly says he wasn't a problem in Austrlia and he was out there a lot. Anderson didn't say much but agreed that he didn't do anything wrong.
Hendrie definitely had a spat of some sort with Payton. He talked about it at one of those "evenings with" events, at the Treddlehoyle a few years ago. Something to do with someone insulting someone else's wife. i can't remember the story. All I can remember is that the story about Andy Payton being found naked in a wardrobe, seemed to fill Hendrie with a fair bit of amusement
You do know that it was Cook that instigated the removal of KP, dont you? So obviously it was not over and done with , was it ?
What i'm saying that HE was quoted saying it was over Mark. Something like, we've drawn a line in the sand and anything thats gone before gone and we look forward to the future.
Good article here: "Sometimes, you cannot see for looking. There are no complex answers here. There is but one, of blinding simplicity. Kevin Pietersen was fired because he is, for want of a more elegant term, a colossal prat." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cr...e-personification-of-prathood-and-genius.html
