Really...can you point me in the direction of a source for that? His team mates in the IPL seem to like him...in the BBL they seem to like him...when Fletcher was coach and Vaughn can't they seemed to like him.

The problem was never his ability, it was that he was a massive tt.
No...he was sacked for "cricket reasons". Good to see him having a good time in the Big Bash.

He said virtually everyone else in the team was in a clique & were bullying him. Names that spring to mind were Flower, Prior, Swann, Broad & Anderson. Cook was harshly criticised by Pietersen & it was clear what Strauss thought about him when he called KP a accidentally on air.
Those are the examples I can think of off the top of my head. I think KP got on fairly well with Trott if that's any consolation.

So the bowlers...the group who introduced a rule where if a catch was put down the 'offender' had to publicly apologise.

He is one of those players who needed to be managed. When he had that England were brilliant...the managers who couldn't make it work are more at fault than any player.

Even so, KP was declining in form during the last couple of years as an England player & repeatedly batted like a total tt once he reached 25 or 30 runs.He is one of those players who needed to be managed.
