Kevin Pietersen listens to the views of Test Match Special's Jonathan Agnew, following Pietersen's interview with Adrian Chiles. The South African-born former England batsman declines to talk directly to Aggers, but asks a question about the controversial parody Twitter account before abruptly leaving the studio.
This clip is originally from 5 live daily on Tuesday 7 October 2014.
KP has every right to feel disgusted with what happened in that dressing room and they excluded him from that cohesive unit to try and prove a pint and didn’t even have the balls to put their hand up and come out and say it was them when they made that account, and the ECB tried to cover it up
Pietersen has never been interested in the team, it’s all about him
Jonathan Agnew should acknowledge the fact that where people gang up against one person, bullying is taking place. Kevin has every right to expose the bullying and the belittling and the backstabbing that went on, and I'll be buying his book and buying copies as Christmas presents for others. The England Cricket team should feel ashamed of themselves, espeically as their preoccupation seems to be "extra-curricular activities", instead of focusing on winning games.
LOVE keven peitersen....want to see him play
Pietersen is clearly a very intense person. Hearing that news that the fake Twitter account originated from within his own team mates must have been akin to being hit flush in the face with a cricket bat. Uncomfortable to watch this clip.
Like finding out your teammate betrayed the team you mean like he did to England
@@angrybrit7331 He talked a bit of shit like they were doing with him. He was doing it privately at least.
@@cheesemccheese5780 you don't talk shit about your team with the players of other country, period.
He would have starred in Australia. I wish he was one of us.
It was a debacle, to this day I can’t quite understand how we manage to lose the best English batsmen of his generation. Obviously egos clashed irreparably.
Pietersen’s personality and character is what made him such a great player, and he was a great player. Enormous talent and ability and single mindedness. Unfortunately he was not a team man. Cricket is the most individual of team sports, however, unfortunately for Kevin he played in an odd and clicky England team. The first team he played in with Vaughan, Flintoff, Harmison and the rest suited Pietersen, however, the next bunch simply didn’t. Swann was never going to get on with Pietersen, and the rest followed. Years before Boycott was a player who was managed well by Brearley, unfortunately Flower and Strauss were unable or unwilling to do so with Pietersen. Pietersen was too good a player to be discarded. Managed very badly and a changing room that was heavily influenced by Swann and Anderson.
100%
Alec stewart confirmed a while ago that it was one of Broad's close friends that set-up the account, and Swann had a hand in it as well. They were certainly behind it
cliquey?
KP went off as quickly as he hits 100 run after 50 balls
Amazing how Agnew can marginalise the institutional bullying present within the changing room, yet imply that a sending text message regarding one individual is completely unforgiveable by ALL England players (the text message referred to only one player I understand). Surely it's Andrew Strauss and the rest of the cliché who are 'insecure', if they can't get over that.
clique?
What happened to KP was a national disgrace. The ECB, much like the FA and RFU needs overhauling... not fit for purpose as 21st Century institutions.
I understand Pietersen is not everybody's cup of tea but as a player he was the one batsman every fan wanted to see and the one player every oppostion bowler wanted to get out. Despite Aggers swerving the issue, it was glaringly obvious he was ostracised and mocked in that dressing room, and because of the people doing it nothing was done about it.
Now in 2023 we have to sit through story after story of supposed 'institutionalised racism' in English cricket, mostly 99% of which is trivial jibes and off-hand remarks, and this episode doesn't even muster a comment. I can't fathom why that would be.....
Only today Azim Rafiq was on the radio jangling it about Yorkshire. Nothing but a grifter carving a career for himself out of victimhood.
So Pietersen is happy to stay and complain about the twitter account but when the text messages about Strauss are brought up he refuses to respond and walks away like a petulant child. You can rightly complain about the ECBs handling of Pietersen and that England dressing room but that does not make Pietersen any less of an unpleasant bully.
Worst thing we did was drop pietersen. For me , our best batsman of a generation
Ya mans a Boer, ffs. Worst thing is , is the eligibility carry on. Born n bred i say !!
That's loss of Cricket not KPs.
So the twitter account is fine but a text isn't. Mmm isn't that the definition of a double standard?
isn't it time everyone grew up
6 years on, don't think they even have now
It's hard to move on given as an England supporter I'm still angry at how Kevin was treated. Andrew Strauss and the England teammates who perpetrated this should be embarrassed for the rest of there lives. More importantly, these players completely got away with it. How can you say grow up when there are still systemic issues and injustice within ECB?
Well, how is it that suddenly after Flower became coach, Pietersen was a "problem"? I am sorry but it is weak management.
If a personality like Pietersen played for Australia, South Africa (if national politics did not prevent him from doing so) or India, he would have been managed, moulded, and guided to reach his full potential, and he would have been a legend. Instead a weak and timid ECB, looks for excuses, use a scapegoat, and don't take responsibility themselves for their imbecilic management of the team and cricket in the country. Now England's batting line-up has no bite left, and the whole world is deprived of a talent such as Pietersen. And believe me, Pietersen is extremely popular all over the world. Everyone in the world recognises his talent except the ECB.
It sounds like bullying with the parody account to me. Online bullying.
Dont forget KP texting south African players slagging his own English team off,while we was playing down there.KP really did bat for the other team.
If all english team had an ounce of pietersens balls we would win next 3 tests
Tuned in, because i thought the "Agnew" was gonna say summat controversial. What a silly billy i 'am.
KP was marginalised because he is South African in the English dressing room, if anybody writes fiction it's Graeam Swann.
Hugh Johnson According to Vaughan, in an interview on Newsnight, Swann stuck UP for KP.
Again - not plausible. Trott was very popular in the dressing room. Roy, Malan, Ballance et all are all players from Southern Africa - none of them have been marginalised as a result.
Strauss, the guy who was instrumental in marginalising him, is South African lololol
Plus he had more natural talent and the ability to do magical things which nobody else in the team could do.
Strauss is South African
KP has a better bowling average for England than Agnew..enough said.
***** Completely irrelevant to the video.....
***** It is as well. Completely irrelevant.
He upset a lot of people in the dressing room.....no player disrespects the England captain to the opposition and expects to get away with it.
If he was so clean why did this situation occur in the first place.
Pieterson should come out closet
One test wonder Aggers talking about Pietersen makes zero sense ...
He's a cricket journalist of thirty odd years standing. Wasn't aware there's a minimum test playing requirement just to talk sense.
It is dangerous when deluded people like Aggers, who think they know it all. Try to call out other people. He alleges but has no proof says other people, well who are these other people. Let us know. Go on have some guts.
Aggers is boring - Pietersen is entertaining so go figure
Go figure...... what, exactly? What's your point?
This is partially why cricket isn't the sport for most brits. Unless your dad played, you belong to a class who play traditional English set up sports or are Asian you don't play cricket. Does it help that your England team are full off toffs and egomaniac pricks? The England dressing room is an old boys club, and that's why nobody in this country shows cricket love and this country does not REGULARLY produce high quality players.
To be fair - that's nonsense. A) KP is privately educated - in one of the most exclusive schools in SA, B) we have produced many high quality players - Anderson has 500 Test Wickets, Cook 10k runs. Anderson and Root learned their trade in club cricket.
Wtf are you talking about?
