Very true. Who scored most runs for England in this series despite giving his wicket away at times chasing quick runs because the tail kept being blown away,you guess right KP. Ridiculous decisionSo KP was critical of Flower and Cook in confidential team meeting in Melbourne.
Firstly why shouldn't he be critical ? We had just gone 4-0 down in a series that we had expected to win and played abysmally. Cook really should just grow a pair and take it on the chin from a more talented and more experienced player.
Secondly how do we know what was said in this meeting? Does anyone see the irony?
Cook is the captain, Flower was the coach,. Petersen was just another team member who should shut up and do what he was told.
This, besides, if he is so brilliant, how come he couldn't save us from losing The Ashes over 5 Tests ? Not one match winning or match saving innings out of 12 ? maybe he's not as good as people believe ?
The moment he ratted on Prior probably did for him. After that getting Piers Moron involved was a very bad move. looks like they looked at KP's history of trouble at Nottingham, Hampshire and the business with Moores and Strauss and decided enough was enough. He may be judged one of the best players ever to play for England but his behind the scenes actions have tarnished him once too often.
The issue with this as a reason is that it happened after he was sacked!
