Whoahoaa!!

 

I actually like that, fair play Dimi (I'm guessing he is a cricketer?) too many knobs involved in sport right now. **** 'em.

Dimi was never going to get picked again anyway. I received both those tweets but not only do they not now appear on Dimi's Twitter page they don't appear any longer on my Twitter page. Now the sender can delete them as KP did but this is the first time I have known them to essentially be recalled so I think there is more to this than we know. The first one was sent on Saturday criticicising the chairman of selectors, reasonably in my view, and was visible for a day or so. The second one disappeared a few seconds after I read it.

I still vividly recall when Warney was here and he was totally bemused Dimi wasn't even included in a provisional 30 man one day squad and rightly so as he was playing well enough to be a serious consider to actually make the team !

I do also know Geoff Miller doesn't approve of Twitter, "it allows people to know what you are thinking ! " Well is that a bad thing ? The blazers should start to loosen up, on the whole they take themselves far too seriously as do certain ex players like Vaughan ( one of the rudest people I know ) and Mr Know It All Boycott. It is no wonder they are consigned to commentating on Channel 5 when Sky have the likes of Atherton, Holding, Botham, Gower, Hussain and the biggest "twit" of all David Lloyd ! They manage to deal with serious issues as appropriate but none are immune from some micky taking and neither I'm sure do they want to be. Great players without egos unlike an average player like Miller who does have an ego. That pretty much says it all.

National selector Geoff Miller appears, however, to have been unimpressed with Pietersen's turn of phrase on Twitter.

 

"I don't like that kind of language - and I don't use that language at all," he said.

"I don't follow Twitter and I'm not a great believer in that kind of thing. I don't think it is necessary. "

@warne888 Twitter moment against Geoff Miller ...!!everybody getting SO serious ...chill out ..!!

 

I think it was probably Warne encouraged Dimi to sign up to Twitter in the first place.

I’m not surprised Dimi is frustrated with the England selectors: he should have been picked for England far more than he has. I’ve followed Hampshire since the 60s and have regularly seen our players over looked by England selectors; they even discarded Robin Smith in his early 30s when he had a test match average of 44! Nowadays, I don’t give a damn about England and prefer our players not to get picked by them.
