KP's Book

It's out next week: so who's he going to spray ?

A question of who isnt he going to spray i would have thought.

Cook, Strauss, Prior, Flower, Downton, Anderson, Swann and Broad, I'd imagine. Although relations between him and Swann and Broad didn't seem too bad by the end.

I'm hoping, however, Giles Clarke gets the biggest kicking. Just because.

Hope the crayon doesn't smudge too much

As if he'll have written a single word of it. Ghost written by Piers f*cking Morgan, or some such grub.

Obviously the media will be watching closely.

Interesting use of the word 'voluble' to describe Morgan. So many meanings and so many ways.

This is clever.

aye....should be an entertaining read tho if Morgan is doing the ghosting a slim one (once the publisher's lawyers have finished with it)

at least it will be a little more interesting than most of the books "written" by other current cricketers...

Among current and recent Oz cricketers - no holds barred books from the likes of fleas, clarke, Lehmann and schoolgirl would be interesting..

Wattos bio could be called "No Strings Attached - how I was the heart of Oz cricket"

David Walsh is the ghost.

smart not to use Piers

David Joseph Walsh (born 17 June 1955) is an Irish sports journalist, who is chief sports writer of the British newspaper The Sunday Times. He is a four-time Irish Sportswriter of the Year and a three-time UK Sportswriter of the Year. Walsh was the key journalist in uncovering the doping program by Lance Armstrong and the US Postal Service Cycling Team.

Alternatively for Watto: No Strings Attached, I Was Stuck Together With Chewing Gum

These two replies to another stirring article on the prospects of what KP's book will reveal show how beautifully he polarised England fans.

Excellent , funny and thought provoking article by Barney as always.
I couldn't stand KP from the moment I first set eyes on him. When he added the bling and the tatts and the blue hair to that already monstrously over sized ego my loathing reached such proportions that I started wanting England to lose when he played. Hopefully he'll tootle off permanently soon to spend the rest of his life staring at himself adoringly in his bathroom mirror and then I can get back to supporting England properly again.

Ah - KP. Where the heck is my Cricket mancrush to be directed now?
Thanks for the good times.

I thought you supported Australia?

2million quid for KP is the deal on the book.....go figure

that said I expect lots of comedic gold

I want KP's take on the menu instructions issued by the Poms before the 5-0 whitewash

strangely drafted interview...that aside it was interesting enough

the comments on Prior were especially acidic

Some good quotes coming through.

10.39 Prior's fondness for being called "the Big Cheese" is endlessly mocked: "a Dairylea triangle thinking he was a Brie”.

This is fun.

So it looks like Cook's 'tactical naïvety' is actually the bowlers doing want they want and not listening to him.

This IS fun.

OK, he comes across a bit Alan Partridge (Needless to say, I had the last laugh-stylee), but I love how he's highlighting the fact that those bowlers are a bunch of qunts, as is Twat Prior. They're all getting a serve they deserve.

I can't wait to read it, now. I thought it would have a few scores to settle, but I didn't know the depth in which he would go.

Can't, for the life of me, see how he has even an iota of a chance at playing for England again. He needs a shitload of games under his belt and, as is stated, about four major, major sackings for it to happen. I'd love the sackings to happen, as they're a bunch of qunts, but it's not going to happen.

"After this morning, I'm looking forward to reading the full kp book. Might bully my kids into getting it for me for Xmas!!"
