There’s been a fair amount of fallout over the past week or so over KP’s book, which he has apparently re-written a little now that it will be released after the ECB no longer has any power over him. He claims that there was an atmosphere of bullying by a clique of the bowling unit, and seems to single out Matt Prior as an especially bad influence.
I haven’t read the book - it’s not actually out yet - but the fallout from the press reviewers has already made the mainstream news here.
Myself, I don’t believe it. England achieved an awful lot under Andy Flower, with KP and that bowling unit, and it seemed obvious to me at the time that here was a team that pulled together when under pressure, and a team that played for each other. The only exceptions to this feeling came from… Kevin Pietersen.
Sour grapes, I say. I’ll still buy his book though.
