**** Pietersen's pending Autobiography causing ECB grief ****

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][size=13px]He claims that he was the only player who would challenge Flower's authority and also said that he warned the coach about the problems Jonathan Trott was having at the start of last year's Ashes tour which led to him returning home and not playing international cricket since.[/size][/color]

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/size][size=13px]However, the early signs are that Pietersen will not be too harsh on Alastair Cook after saying he was put "in an incredibly difficult situation" by the ECB and claims Cook was "fed" information about him in Australia ahead of the decision to sack him which was taken by Paul Downton in February.[/size][/color]

Not respecting South Africa and what the country gave me in terms of living there for 19 happy years ... I realise too that South Africa was my first home and my real home."[/size][/color]

Pietersen should have chosen South Africa over England. England likes to build up players through the media but are even quicker to tear them apart when they make a mistake or doesn't perform. England blames Pietersen for their Ashes defeat and that was it for him and international cricket. It will be good to hear what happen from his point of view.

Is this the same kunt who once stated Shiv was not a team man.  That Shiv only bats for himself, and that he was selfish yada yada yada?


And now here he is, Mr. Team Man personified himself, about to throw his former teammates, and team, under the bus and expose them all for a few post-retirement coins. 8)
