And Its Smith Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Apparently shunning the IPL to play county cricket and win his Test place back. Sure he will succeed and boy do we need an in form Pietersen this summer. Welcome back KP! Wonder if Glos will try to sign him. No point in Somerset doing it as he wouldn't get in their team...

joe jordans teeth Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Shunning the ipl isn't exactly right m8,he won't get paid what he has in the past so got ready for county cricket and every advertising deal he can get,as for playing for England,are we that crap we need a African who nobody in the squad likes playing for England?

He's half South African and half English so don't know what that has to do with it. Did you have a problem with all the other half English players from the past? And how do you know nobody likes him? Root seems to really like him for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten minutes of rough Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Shunning the ipl isn't exactly right m8,he won't get paid what he has in the past so got ready for county cricket and every advertising deal he can get,as for playing for England,are we that crap we need a African who nobody in the squad likes playing for England? Well that's true, but he is a difficult character and apparently is not popular, but the real problem I see it is the Coach, he is 'fliipin useless, too safe, we were like rabbits in the headlights at the WC, played with fear, that is down to Moore's.

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I wouldnt pick him, his time is over.. time to rebuild with the talented players we have in the pool. However the ECB need to stop being so conservative and allow more players to get to the needed exposure in the big comps around the world. They also need to revamp the T20 and OD games at county level... Maybe go down the franchise route although it would cause alot of uproar from the traditionalists. Nasser Hussain was right in we need players or characters like Warner, whos antics on and off the field is sometimes deplored but he is a maverick player.. for me someone like Ben Stokes would fill that criteria.

Super Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Don't be shocked if he ends up at Taunton. He is very good friends with Matthew Mayanrd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 If he's really committed to it fair play but him and Moores isn't going to work? Is it a ploy to get him out cheaply by the ECB..? He'd fill the number 3/4 spot at Taunton nicely.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Depends if he needs to be in Division 1 or not. If so then Somerset is a good shout. If not, then he'll almost certainly end up at Surrey. Wouldn't discount Lancashire either as Ashley Giles is in charge there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 The loss of Craig Kieswetter for next season could make Somerset interested I would fancy, replace one explosive player with another. Would reduce the pressure on the replacement keeper to score runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he might struggle to fit within the wage structure at Glos! Basically he's shitting himself at the prospect of missing an Ashes series...

glynriley Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Ha! Think he might struggle to fit within the wage structure at Glos! Basically he's shitting himself at the prospect of missing an Ashes series... Was discussing this on the weekend. Depends how badly he wants to play for England again I suppose. It's not like he's short of a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Was discussing this on the weekend. Depends how badly he wants to play for England again I suppose. It's not like he's short of a few quid. He alluded to the fact that he's got enough bunce and everything he does now is about playing for England again.

Nibor Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'm kind of disappointed that we are going to hear more about this nause on the sports news. Can't we just pretend neither Pietersen nor the England cricket team exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
