I am sick of all this back stabbing and cockyness in the current England team !
Kp dropped for his small comments and texts .
Anderson slags of ecb captains in his new book but hey that's fine .
Looking at swann yesterday he was walking around the dressing room like a smug child .
Parody accounts or not sort it !!
Hell drop then all !!!
I don't care I'd rather have a young and unexperienced team than a bunch of spoilt tosseers who have nothing better to do than ruin each others careers !

[Alvaro]

Well you seem to be on hand. Why don't you sort it?

[Nickauger]

Lol why don't you speak to them all individually and tell them that it's not good enough Shaq, I'm sure they'll listen to you!

[ppccopener]

im not sure it's as bad as all that,there's def a few egos,topped off by the biggest of all-KP.
He is a free agent now so someone can peel his grapes for him in the IPL-good luck to him he wants the money he will get it.
Flower took on the death threats of Rubert Mugabe after wearing a black armband in a one day match to represent the death of democracy.
Flower will sort it out, it might take time but it will be full on dealt with-it just takes time.
England will move on,one man dont make a team,fantastic player that he is 'great' is a very overused word.
Think Lara,Ponting,Kallis,Miandad,SRT and Dravid -these are great players.

Don't get me wrong kp has a massive ego .
But so do the likes of swann broad Anderson and Brennan .
I would class kp as a great player am sorry but you can't deny kp has probably the greatest player for enland in the last 5 years

[Number4]

As long as England keep self destructing I am grinning like a Cheshire cat

That's the problem they all have massive egos and think they are bigger than the game... That's what happens when they listen to people telling them they are the best in the world!!!

[ppccopener]

got to agree with Number 4, quite possibly No 1 went to England's heads and after the mountain was climbed.Same happened to India.England are still top 3 in the world and a decent side.
We will be there or thereabouts in the future,no team stays with the same players-we have a lot of talent in this Country.
the ashes will prob be a bit closer than previously

England cricket is in a sorry mess !!
What happened to releasing books after your career was done and you were sat in front of your fire with slippers on all nice and retired !! .
I'm sorry but Players need to be dropped and punished however kp is the k ly one to of suffered this ! .
It was horrible to see but on Saturday whilst England batted everyone sat in the little put up stand and then up on the balcony there was the  clique of Bresnan , swann, and Anderson all sat togeather with Finn and lumb say separately
Wonder what the likes of Duncan fletcher would of done in this situation

Dare I say it's the British fixation with celebrity? When England were losing, no one cared and the only people who would buy a cricketer's book were old cricket fans. Now they've been successful and the public demands more, more! MORE!! Thus the books (see footballers).

Completely agree I mean Wayne Rooney is releasing his second book this week for gods sake !! And he is far from retired

[alba caerulea]

I actually preferred it when we were rubbish. Its hard to have egos when you only win 1 in 10

[ppccopener]

you are right about the books Shaq, Flower does not like players releasing them while they are still playing.i dont think he can stop it thou.
A player still representing England probably has a larger fee than a retired one.

it is more of a 'celebrity' game, much like football. Cricketers can earn vast sums of money now and that brings many problems.
Ive read Swann's book, personally I dont see anything too controvertial.He did'nt rate KP as skipper-fair enough, and Jimmy Anderson did not rate MV-these are opinions all cricketers have them

Do we know what Anderson said about flintoff ? Just I saw a rather uneasy tweet from Freddie to Anderson saying "gettin a lot of tweets about you today something you wanna tell me "

[ppccopener]

nothing too much, he thinks he was a great palyer,not a great captain

anderson rates nasser hussein and strauss

Nasser is highly thought of by a lot of us England fans.when he took over we were rubbish-he dragged us up.
