Evidently Pietersen has understood his men. Both Flintoff and Harmison rise when England rise.
And when Flintoff and Harmison rise, so does Spanky?

In his early days in county cricket he was regularly forced to stand in a corner and sing "God Save the Queen"
Believe that shit and you'll believe anything...

And he was Samit Patel's bitch. That's why he's in the team now.

That's funny Lever.
Spanky's done a U-turn on both Pietersen and fatso Smith. He used to unrelentessly criticise both. He's changed his mind during this series. He used to be savage on KP turning his back on SA.

Hasn't he got it all arrse about?
It's more a case of when Flintoff rises, the crowd rises and when the crowd rises England rises. Which is why Freddie scares the bejebus out of us convicts.

Sage words from pseudmage:
The piece is quite informative, but ludicrously overblown. I don't really know why people are so impressed by this style of wannabe-Cardus, mock-heroic writing. If an actor performs like this we rightly ridicule an over-the-top chunk of ham. When reading Peter Roebuck I'm always reminded of Tony Lewis talking about his first commentary stint. John Arlott took him to one side and gently explained where he'd gone wrong. "You've never described the bat as the willow, so why start now?" To call a bowler a leatherflinger is, as Roebuck himself would say, senseless periphrasis.
