Kevin Pietersen has quit as England's cricket captain, according to Sky News sources.


Reports have suggested both Pietersen and coach Peter Moores were facing the sack over a rift between the pair.

But it is understood Pietersen quit claiming the England and Waled Cricket Board (ECB) did not act quickly enough over the affair.

the affair KP had with Peter Moores??

KP a bit big for his boots, but what do you expect from an expat Saffer?

 

[Toxin]

Maybe he'll move to Australia now......... they could use a good player....... even tho he bitches a lot.

Whether KP is a prick this is a very very bad decision by the ECB. KP is much much more important than Moores.

 

[hoegh]

crazy decision if you ask me, there will be an outcry from their fans, he's a good player and he was starting to show signs of a good captain but alas, im just glad we have a sense of composure in our cricket side at the moment.

 

[mercurial]

I wonder if he'll come back to SA.

He might quit England and go and play with his big buddy warnie at the rajastan royals in the IPL. He was pissed last year when the ecb didn't allow him to play in the ipl.

He was holidaying in SA...

fsck no! he can take his bitchy pommy accent and shove it up his A-S-S!!

andrew strauss on the other hand is welcome

He was holidaying in SA...

We could only dream. Smithy could offer him some calm down juice, and we would have a stronger team.

Warne--->Smith------>KP

The calm down juice does wonders it seems.

 

[medicnick83]

He sucked as captain anyways... England won't be too sad about it.

I still think he is a traitor!

 

[mercurial]

Traitor, arrogant or whatever we wanna call him. The guy is a great batsman and would bolster our team considerably.

Doubt it...

 

[mercurial]

Doubt it...

And how do you figure that Einstein?

 

[DWPTA]

Good riddance, useless fluffybunny. Never really liked the guy. Hopefully the IPL will greet him with open arms, so he can get out of true cricket.

+1 He is massively talented and one of the most revered and respected batsman in world cricket at the mo.... I would love to see him in the SA one day side but it cannot and won't happen..

Too true.

His attitude etc can only do damage bru...

You don't want him coming into a team and causing problems!

He already has this huge ego about having left SA because he couldn't get in, to play for a country where he caused issues (with coaches etc)

If he had to come to SA, more and more problems would popup.

Simple fact, no team can have that type of person in it, I"m surprised he has lasted as long as he actually has.

 

[Smurfatefrog]

He would have to wait 5 years before he could play for us anyway
