So says Andrew Strauss.

Fair comment tho

My wife has just said that Strauss has gone up in her esteem.

yep, don't disagree with that.

Short and to the point.

Everyone was picking on me, wah.

 

i was marginalised, wah.

 

i was victimised, wah

 

no, because you acted like a c***, everyone treated you like one.

Instead of redressing the balance he has probably just reinforced the negative image that many had of him in the first place (apart from brown nosers like Piers Morgan). Talented sportsman but totally narcissistic.

Does anyone really believe the KP was bullied?

 

 

Maybe he is so full of himself, that he thinks not getting his own way is akin to bullying.

Classic narcissistic behaviour.

I don't think there's much doubt that he was a source of fun in the dressing room at times (hence the KP Genius parody Twitter account), but surely that applies to every player in every dressing room in the country.

 

It seems hugely hypocritical for him to complain about bullying when you consider some of the **** he's supposed to have done in the direction of the likes of James Taylor.

We all know he's a c**t. Talented without a doubt but a Class A c**t nevertheless.

He can dish it out but cant take it back

 

Wasnt the reason he left Hampshire because he was the big I am , (The lallana and loverne of the cricketing world.

I did hear that he also upset the dressing room and had issues with Michael Carberry and another Hants player

 

maybe our weston and co can comment on the problems within the hants dressing room

 

I have always like his style of play but he also comes across as a class A ****t

As far as I know he was never a real problem in the short time he was here. No one in the dressing room ever said anything to me and they have been forthright with views on other matters in confidence.

 

This was a twitter quote from Michael Carberry this morning

Morning!!Just to set the record straight re: @KP24 .Ive never had any issues with Kev. We have always got on well and still do

 

There was a strong rumour that he decked Warne in a bar and gave him a black eye. I mentioned it to KP's brother but only got a knowing smile. Warne was away for few weeks in Spain after so it might have had some legs.

 

On one occasion after a game he was about to go to his chauffeured car. I knew there was a big crown waiting for him so asked if he wanted me to find a quiet was out. No he said, I will sign all their autographs, and he did, every last one.

 

I think he did upset the club or at least the media perceived he did when he could not remember the name of an up and coming player who was in the first team. His name was Wood who is carving a good career with the first team now.

 

On the day he announced he was leaving Hampshire he came upstairs but could not look Bransgrove in the eye. However Bransgrove has never had a bad word for him either in public or privately when we have chatted.

 

Personally I think he is an arrogant tortured sole and no amount of man management would have changed his selfish self centred personality. However he was one of England all time greats for a while and that should not be forgotten. However I agree with his exclusion following the Ashes tour down under.

That is for your summary Ron . Always good to hear the other side . It was mentioned on 5live this morning about Michael Carberry . Good to see his tweet above refuting that .

 

I was sad when he left us maybe he should have stayed with us and his career would have continued to flourish .

There are some people who reached the top of their professions who, if they hadn't had sport, you wonder if they would have ended up in an institution. John McEnroe, Roy Keane are just two others that spring to mind.

That's funny, as his chief cheerleader Piers Morgan's main complaint about 'weasel' Cook is that he sat there and stared at the floor while Pietersen was being sacked by England.....

Currently on TalkSport. The delusion of the man is on another level. Jesus wept.

Quality cricketer no doubt, but to have fallen out to some degree wherever he has played does suggest that KP is the problem, not everyone else!

Vaughan managed him well, he'll be back at Surrey next summer and he's very popular in the IPL - so he's not burned all the bridges as some would suggest.

 

He's a talented c()ck.

That Graham Norton Shwo appearance was great PR for the ECB. Bloke just has no self awareness and came across like a total cock

And wore pink socks with tan shoes. D'oh.

Good article in The Guardian today about KP. Props go to Graham Norton who suggested that KP wasn't suited to team games and perhaps ought to take up golf!

So says Andrew Strauss.
