[Milky Bar Kid]

Due to the recent KP incident, anyone got any history on why a lot of pros dislike him? Or is that just my imagination?

[Nickauger]

I would imagine it has something to do with him being massively opinionated, while being distinctly (being kind) average himself.

[PedalsMcgrew]

I think it's more about KP believing he is above criticism! What Knight said about him was perfectly fair....

[Alvaro]

The best thing Nick Knight did was get injured so Trescothick could make his ODI debut

[Howzat]

The best tihng Knight ever did is face the first 100mph ball

There must be some history there because i've never felt Nick Knight oversteps the mark although he is a fairly boring, give me Bumble and Michael Holding any day!

As for him being average, i'm sure he averaged over 40 over quite a few ODIs which is more than Stewart, Trescothick and Strauss. And considerably more than Michael Vaughan!

Personally I was always a huge fan of knights and he was massively under-rated

Actually he faced the first two 100mph develeries - unless Thompson and Lillee bowled that fast.

As pointed out be Athers in the times today, it does seem a bit odd/hypercritical that a journalist is allowed to to make a view of a player, but a player isn't allowed to have a view on a pundit...

Think he is 4th in the England odi averages so knows how to bat. I would think Kp should concentrate on scoring runs against one of the weakest attacks in world cricket.

I agree. KP seems to have no idea how to avoid attracting problems for himself!

The way you poms handled them you would swear Lillee and Thompson bowled hand grenades Buzz...  of course they bowled that fast 

[RossViper]

Nick Knight decent batter, woeful commentator, as are some many of the sky pundits - cant understand why sky don't get rid of them, there must be better, must be...

[Stewie-Kidd]

Excuse my ignorance but what was the recent incident with KP?

[19reading87]
