THE PIETERSEN-SMITH STORY...........

Question

ok, i know dat kp is a southafrican and all that blah blah.....but, what i dont know is what happened between him n graeme smith a few years back...please tell me

Answer 1

i think nothing was happen... pieterson single handedly blast the SA attack but england loss all matches or 4-1 in ODI

Answer 2

KP was born and grew up in SA. He was just an offspinner then who batted at 8 though. He arrogantly blamed quotas because he wasn't selected for his provincial A team, not believing that he simply wasn't good enough. Only when he was in England did he start becoming a specialist batsman.

They hate each other because Smith came through the system and he didn't have to blame quotas for getting through.

There, that's the full story, not the KP/Pommy story they use to justify his needless snibes at SA.

Answer 3

nothing, both are brothers!

Answer 4

KP is only half-SA... Afrikaner father/English mother, hence eligible for England selection. His appointment as Captain of Test and One Day teams is imminent... (announcement due Lords 4Aug08 1300BST)

KP was prevented from playing international cricket by racial discrimination in SA so he moved to England. Returning to tour SA 2004/5, he was widely regarded as a "traitor". Smith has said "I'm patriotic ..., and that's why I don't like Kevin Pietersen, ... Kevin ... slated South Africa. It was his decision to leave and that's fine, but why does he spend so much time slating our country?"

KP has called Smith, who had made "snide comments" during England's tour, an "absolute muppet". Smith: "If he had kept his mouth shut he would have had far fewer people angry at him and he would have taken far less flak from the crowds."

Nuff said?

Added 1414BST: Sorry - KP does not consider himself English. He has just said how pleased he is to be captain of (quote) "YOUR country" (unquote). He also left it open to consider a move to the IPL. So now we have a South African captain of England taking on a South African captain of South Africa! Should be a red hot needle match.
