Mid- career book not wise says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806– Cricket News Update
After helping the team to an elusive win against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501, claiming that writing a book in the middle of a career is not a wise move.
In an utterly disappointing tour, which saw the Poms thrashed 5-0 in the One Day series, the team managed to beat the Indians by six wickets in the One-off T20, courtesy of a commendable half-century by KP. The player stroked 53 off just 39 balls to easily
chase their opponent’s target of 121.
Despite their first on-field success, the tour was marked with a high-profile controversy which involved two renowned tourists’ players, Swann and Pietersen himself. The spinner in his new auto-biography, The Breaks Are Off, commented that his teammate
was never the right man to lead his side.
Pietersen was assigned to take charge of the national team in 2008; however, his reign was a troublesome one, which included a well publicized bust-up with then head coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Moores-c81848.
Both men were stripped of their respective roles, with the ECB installing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
Swann’s book, which came out just before the start of the tour of the sub-continent, highlighted that affair and the spinner opined that the team felt insecure during KP’s leadership and was glad to see Strauss being named as the captain.
Many criticized the off-break bowler for his comments, with many claiming that his recent remarks will affect the dressing room; however, Flower himself cleared the air and said that although the comments were highly unwanted, it did not affect the relationship
of the two players.
Former England skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Paul-Vaughan-c76145 was also not pleased with the whole situation and was disappointed with Swann.
With the visitors registering their first win, Pietersen took time and commented on the issue with a very firm stance, however said that it did not affect his relationship with Swann.
"I still do not agree to anyone writing a book in the middle of his career," Pietersen commented.
"That (controversy) was something around for a day or two. But that had nothing to do with our relationship.”
