Shock horror.... KP writes book, senses trouble and gets Surrey to release him... Everyone else is to blame, go and hear it in a book shop near you:

Still free to gob off down under, India, global T20 and a soap box near you!

PS he was just misunderstood and it was someone else's fault... or have we all heard this before.

I dont blame him getting us (Surrey) to release him. I wouldnt have been surprised if he had stayed contracted with us that the ECB would purely out of spite block him from playing the IPL which they would have been entitled to do. I can see why people dont like him but the ECb have got this whole situation completely wrong.

The interesting thing will be whether he actually plays for Surrey again however .

[Buzz]

I think there is a strong probability that he wont play in England again.

apparently we are going to sit down with him in the new year and discuss. Hes been good to us and us very good to him so there's a chance, really hope he can play some 4 day stuff for us next year.

Except for the bit where he wasn't selected for the CC game   .

No excerpts from his book yet? Shocked and chagrined.

Stewie got that completely wrong, KP was willing to play and we still mathematically had a chance of going up . A fair number of members raised their concerns with Stewart for not playing him.

The tweet staying something along the lines of 'little chance of promotion so I'm not going to play' didn't quite seem to make him sound so keen .

Will be interesting to see what the fan reaction is after the book. He needs some pretty headline making stuff in there to make all the publicity worth it and if he doesn't blow the lid off the English team in last winters ashes I can see many fans seeing him for what he really is.

Even with appearances in these t20 leagues he is going to need some scores soon or I can see people not paying him as much

Stewart had the best interests of Surrey at heart, KP couldn't careless about anyone but himself

[Sam]

Think whether they re-sign him or not will be a sign of whether he's 'fit in' (or as much as he can) there or pissed everyone off again.

[uknsaunders]

I suspect kp not be playing for surrey was a financial thing. Maybe he gets a retainer plus appearance money and stewie didn't think the cost was worth it.

Given he could barely get it off the square in the T20 what good would he have been in proper cricket.

I echo Buzz, I bet he doesn't play any cricket in England again, let alone stuff that lasts longer than a good family Sunday lunch....

If he doesn't then it'll be a shame. He's top draw t20 when he's playing enough crixket, he's pretty ordinary currently as he's not. Sad end of he doesn't play cc or at least all the short format stuff
