kevin pietersen's book

sounds like k p's is a must read he is either making up stuff to boost sales or a lot of what he is saying has truth to it.

I suspect the latter. How any country can simply dispense with their best ever batsman is beyond me

Good interview with K.P. on B.B.C. Breakfast this morning where he more or less confirms the account given in the Aussie press. I think it's sad that Flintoff took most of the credit for our 2005 Ashes victory. Pietersen's contribution was equal if not more significant.

i'm looking forward to seeing him play in the big bash comp in australia this summer
he is one player i would go to see a rare talent that is lost to english cricket.

Can only agree. He is box office though his year for Surrey in the T20 wasn't anything to write home about, you can hardly blame him. A drop in form is the least you would expect with all this going on

the pressure must be on the selector's K P made 326 not out overnite for surrey
he still is a match winner and better than a lot of the current english batsmen.
