I could only imagine the furore that would surround English cricket had KP said something similar to that pile of crap. Burnley's Billy Big Bollocks should keep his ghost written dog sh!t to himself.

It's ok to criticise a team mate in a national newspaper, but not via text. Ok!

I don't think Jimmy has done himself any favours with this either. Only pours petrol on the flames and he is experienced enough to know better, deserves at least a severely worded warning from management if not a Test carrying the drinks himself.

Definitely. Seems like Jimbo's gone over to KP's side of FIGJAMing. A few of us have been saying for years how arrogant we've become.

Thanks Taips.

I've met Red, not been away that long!

What texts? What did he say? As far as I can tell, no-one knows.

Are players not allowed to engage with the opposition in any way during a series? Since when has this been policy?

Perhaps the ECB should commandeer Pietersen's computer and ask the police to forensically sift through all of his private correspondences just to be sure he hasn't dared mention their name in any other context than fawning gratitude, like the jealous, adolescent lovers they appear to be.

Aye, it's all very 'Franco' at the minute. Not sure I've got time for a single one of the ECB. This is my problem more than most things - KP has done wrong, yet the ECB are currently parading around like the Gene Kellys that have just got shit on their suits.

On twitter, there is some chat that the KP parody account came with links to the dressing room.

Either way, they both as bad as each other from an ego perspective and believing their own hype. Just a shame the ECB can't see it! This childish text message stuff is so primary school playground!

Close links. It was Richard Bailey of Notts, close friends of Broad, Swann etc...

In fact they were interacting with the parody, it stinks this whole scenario now.

Dear oh dear. As you said - it's like they're at school FFS. They need to grow the f*ck up.

He's not a professional player, and claims he's never met Swann.

Time to drop the lot of them then. KP, Jimmy, Swann, Notts, everyone. And the ECB as well. Order a review. Wheel out some old Lord to conduct it. Or Athers and Nass.

Sack everyone. Start again.

I bloody love this. Absolute carnage, England cricket in schoolboy error crisis. Sit back and watch the sh!tstorm. Highly entertaining.

Is that you or Roy Rodgers?

C'est moi la

Et avec l'accent en outre!

Read la as 'law' and you'll get Quebecois. Bizarre ou quoi?

c'est dingue dingue dingue celaww.

A balanced article (not something you'll read in the British press).

There was a insight into KP's mindset during the last Ashes tour in Oz. During a conversation with Ed Cowan he famously said "Eddy, i'm not English, i'm South African. I just work here."

At least they've moved on from Jellybean gate though.

Wasn't that in reference to a Yorkshire pudding which he rejected?

So, Broad and Hales involved.

Says who?

Ah, Piers Morgan? FFS. What a sh*t stirrer.

Good coincidence though, wouldn't you think. Pissy little detective work that needs an iota of common sense can put them in place as cohorts. That jumped up prick who started it wouldn't have worked autonomously - unless our comprehensions are incredibly child-like. So, if you want a shit-stirrer, look toward whichever Notts boy you're currently sucking off. The likes of Broad and Swann, plus Jimmy, are all as big a cock as Pietersen - if not more...
