Saint_Randell Posted 29 August, 2012 Share Posted 29 August, 2012 Can someone please briefly explain to me this KP situation?! I've heard it mentioned so many times and still don't actually know what's happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted 29 August, 2012 Share Posted 29 August, 2012 Can someone please briefly explain to me this KP situation?! I've heard it mentioned so many times and still don't actually know what's happened? He's a bit of a c*nt, all the players think he's a c*nt, and he thinks Strauss is a c*nt. The only person that likes him is that c*nt Darren Gough from TalkSport, who is continually blowing smoke up his arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Saint Posted 29 August, 2012 Share Posted 29 August, 2012 Can someone please briefly explain to me this KP situation?! I've heard it mentioned so many times and still don't actually know what's happened?KP complained he was not being looked after properly in the England set up so retired from IOD's so he could play more IPL cricket! However his contract with ECB stated that if someone made themselves unavailable for IOD that would exclude them from selection of T20. KP then realised what he had done and announcd on YouTube he was available for all and reaffirmed his allegance to England. However he does not seem to have gone to ECB first. Then during the first test against SA it is alleged he sent texts to SA players indicating what he thought of some England players particularly the captain Strauss. Even told them how they could get him out. SA refused to release texts saying private betewwn players but banter only. KP dropped from next test boo'ed wherever he plays and in my opinion his England career is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 29 August, 2012 Share Posted 29 August, 2012 One rather amusing snippet that's been on Twitter today, Andrew Strauss took three first-class wickets. Guess who his first was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
