What? If you're gonna post that anywhere try the bin. Nobody gives a s**t about anybody's garden. |

You've been hunkered and bunkered. You ain't been following the thread.
"Apparently the great man is moving out of Chelsea and deep into the stockbroker
belt at Wentworth, where he will at least be able to get a decent round of golf."
Here's the proof. Don't be surprised if he buys up his back garden as part of his future
sporting world domination.

I have actually, but I skim through the creepy bits you and others like to post about this dick's private life. So you're right really, but I'm also never able to see what your little 'instagram' things are because the link never works for me.
Let me re-phrase my original comment; What? If you're gonna post that anywhere try the bin. Nobody gives a s**t about Kevin Pietersen, except his bum-chum Piers Morgan, and one (you).

Sounds like you need to upgrade your computer software. Well worth doing as there's so much great stuff out
there. You probably can't download 'Vine' either.

KP's latest Telegraph column finds him expertly turning the knife, praising "the youngsters, who are carrying some of the senior players at the moment." There are digs against Prior, Cook, Moores, Broad and Anderson, all done with consummate 'mnore in sorrow than anger' journalistic skill and a smart, understated teaser for his forthcoming book ("there is an underlying current of unhappiness. The Australia tour was hard. We were beaten up due to a lot of reasons I cannot go into right now, and some of the senior player are still suffering, with the result that they are struggling to offer leadership in the dressing room") that leaves one salivating for the full version of events. Love or hate him, this is very clever journalism. I wonder who his ghost writer is? Read and savour: www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/kevinpietersen/10931163/Kevin-Pietersen-England-must-show-faith-in-youngsters-and-stop-kidding-the-public-with-negative-tactics.html |

He hasn't officially announced it yet, but I'm guessing Pietersen has now retired from all red ball cricket.There was talk that he might play the odd four-day game for Surrey this summer, but it hasn't happened and it doesn't look as though it now will. The last f/c game he played was the final Test v Australia at the beginning of January. I wonder how many other players there are whose final f/c appearance came in an Ashes Test match?
Surrey have two other players in their T20 side who don't play red ball cricket - Kevin O'Brien ansd Azhar Mahmood, who last played a f/c game in 2012.
Owais Shah at Hants hasn't played a f/c game in almost a year. Are there any others in English cricket? Even Chris Liddle made a f/c appearance this season v Lough Uni - although it is astonishing that he has only ever played 20 f/c matches in ten seasons since his debut for Leics in 2005.

Damn you borderman, that's one of those infuriating things that you just have to look up, knowing it will take ages! And the lazy assumption that it's probably not unusual for Australian players in particular to retire after their last trip to England, which I made, is completely wrong. Many of them turned out for testimonial or other games in the following Australian domestic season. These are the only ones I can find: England - GF Grace, The Oval (only Test) 1880. He died 3 weeks later. Australia - JM Gregory, Brisbane, First Test 1928/9. His comeback game and he injured his shoulder so badly he never played again. Neil Harvey and Alan Davidson, 5th Test v England at Sydney, 1963 - the only other series that produced two such retirements until Swann and Pietersen last winter. A fascinating nearly was Lord Ted, whose mini-comeback in 1968 terminated in the Oval Test match. Sadly he spoilt that record by appearing for the Cavaliers in a first-class game on a West Indies junket in 69/70. I'll be intrigued if anyone can find other examples . |

Kevin O'Brien surprisingly is playing for Surrey in the current match v Hampshire.

Well HH mentions him (Swann) so there were two from the same tour whose last F/C game, yada yada yada. There could have been three or four given the severity of the battering we took at the hands of those unrelenting big-headed simple minded swash-buckling neandethals, but Trott came back to Warks, although is still reeling, and Anderson didn't finish his career by punching George Bailey in the mouth.

Well done Andrew Strauss, Sky Sport's worst ever commentator, for so stupidly reigniting the KP affair by calling him by the 'c' word this afternoon, and making the story of the day not the MCC v ROW celebrations but his stupid vendetta against England's best batsman.
For once Piers Morgan seems to have got it right when he tweeted:
'If Strauss story is true then he'll have to be fired, surely? Or is a commentator calling @kp24 a 'c**t' on air acceptable @skycricket?
After all, Strauss himself axed KP from his England team for allegedly saying similar things about him that weren't even broadcast.'
Andy Gray was also sacked as a football commentator by Sky for a comparable indiscretion. If there is any consistency, it is hard to see how Strauss can survive.
