KP might consider ODI comeback if schedule is rearranged

Still think he could make time if he missed the IPL.

Of course he'll make an ODI comeback. This retirement is an Afridi-like flounce from England's biggest drama queen after they reprimanded him from criticising Nick Knight on twitter (straw that broke the camel's back in regards to KPs relationship with the ECB and team management.)

The only question will be- Will England pick him?

No, it's not an Afridi-like flounce. He's genuinely that conceited that he thought a) the public would be on his side and b) that England would crumple and let him do what the f*ck he liked.

I think he's right though in that he's got a holiday around Jan 2015 so if they changed the schedule for the entire World Cup he may squeeze in a couple of games.

He's probably going to walk back in a few months before the World Cup and throw all the plans into confusion, leaving the selectors in a no-win situation...

not very likely england will be amongst the favourites either way

KP has always been a drama queen.

I said the same back in C4 days. His leaving of SA was always dubious.

So basically the side has done well without him and he's noticed that he won't be missed, and now he wants back in.

Quelle surprise.

England clearly don't need him. They should tell him to sling his hook.

KP has always been about KP.

The poms finally realised this/

We always knew that. But amongst it all he's won us some important cricket matches with his bat.

Crap, i remember back in 2005 it was all like "you silly saffies screwed up. He's English now, Look at his Lion tattoos"

If he'd developed in South Africa the same way he developed in England, he would have found a spot in your middle order, for sure.

Your point is?

Obviously that the poms are better at grooming players.

time prepares players; not a (probably) coincidental shift in location

Did Harold Rhodes become a better batsman because he changed counties?

Try and keep up with the discussion.

Well I think that no matter if he'd represented South Africa or England, he still would have been something of a self-centred twat, who is tolerated for his ability to win games with his bat.

I'm not sure any of us ever really believed the whole three lions tattoo, "i'm as English as muffins" crap he spouted back in 2005.

I think our collective arseholes tightened in cringiness.

He is half-English, though, a fact that seems to be forgotten in this whole 'mih mih mih he's Seth Efrican mih mih mih he's English' thing.

Is he? I thought his Grandmother was Scottish or something like that.

Thought his mum is English.

at least he knows who his mother is

His mum is 100% Anglo - with a bit of a twaccent (now).

You're thinking of Bedwetter.

Don't tell me, all Japies look the same? You really are a piece of work!
