http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ernest-William-Swanton-c56374 likes to talk says KP – Cricket News Update
Following Graeme Swann’s harsh words in the recent autobiography, his fellow http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 has finally broken the silence by claiming that the off-spinner likes to talk while also admitting the timing was not right.
Swann in his autobiography, The Breaks Are Off commented that KP was never a natural successor to then skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Paul-Vaughan-c76145. It also subsequently offered insight to the dark days of the English cricket when Pietersen was named captain under coach, Peter
Moores.
Both endured a turbulent relationship which resulted in Moores being asked to step down as the coach while the star batsman had to relinquish his captaincy. However, the move came as a positive one for the Poms which saw http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 leading the national
team while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Mentor-c41238.
Together they have taken the side to the top of the Test rankings while a perfect system has been placed to ensure that they remain at the summit for a longer haul. However, Swann’s comment did come at a cost with media highlighting unrest among the English
camp. It resulted them in being humiliated by the Men In Blue in the sub-continent, losing by a 5-0 margin.
While Peitersen was not too pleased with Swann’s words of wisdom however, despite all the speculations he was content that everything is normal in the dressing room.
"Things are absolutely fine," said Pietersen. "It was Swanny, Swanny likes to talk. It's not a clever book in the middle of your career, but it's not affecting anything that's going on in the team for sure. The team spirit we've got at the moment... a book
won't change anything like that.”
The next task for the Poms is to travel to the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 and taking on an inform Pakistani side in a full fledge series which starts on January 17. While they have been a touch above the rest in the longer vesion of the game, their ODI form is
far from impressive with the clean sweep against the Indians firmly lingering in their mind.
They will be hoping to improve their 50-over form while also getting accustomed to the conditions in the UAE, where bowlers will have to toil hard on flat tracks.
