Thank you for this. I’m glad you got to see KP’s final innings in England. One day, we’ll all regret how we treated him. Yes, it’s easy to highlight his faults, especially while forgetting our own, but it should be remembered he only ever wanted to be loved and to earn that love by entertaining us. It was rarely that he didn’t.
I very much doubt that the (never KPers ) will regret anything I’m afraid Clive. Hating KP is a cult. And the cult has many followers.
Seeing him play so effortlessly, with so little cricket just reminds us what talent he had. And it also reminds us how careless England are with talent.
I wrote a list of who were the best batsmen in England on the last thread. Made a bit of a mistake leaving Pietersen off, didn’t I? Course he bloody is.

What have half the crowd got on their heads in that last shot? They look less stupid than the KFC buckets of the BBL, but only just.

The Guardian think it more important to have a piece on whether you’d face a fast bowler or a hard tennis serve.
Good luck with the new T20, fellas. 23k there and not worthy.
