kp’s alright. characters in sport is good

Seeya KP you farkin flog

Am i the only the one that likes KP? He is a freaking gun. One of the very few that can walk the walk and talk the talk.
The truly great average 50+, especially in an era that favours batsmen. He doesnt walk the walk anywhere near as much he should.
His talent has won England plenty of games, but his ego has perhaps cost them as many.

He averages 48, and has 23 Test 100s. Only three players have scored more runs for England, at inferior averages. Just because he is a flog doesn't mean he isn't a champion of the game. Interesting that Boycott was calling for his sacking just before he overtook him on runs scored.

he is by no means a "champion of the game". we throw that term around far too easily

 

he'll go down as a very good batsman, one of englands best for sure, but they have been comparatively bereft in batting talent

I don't mind him either.

agree, not a "champion of the game" ( I consider the likes of Bradman, Tendulker, Ponting, Warne, Walsh, McGrath, Murali [don't care what anyone says, his action was deemed legal in that case I accepted it and marvel at how good he was] as champions of the game), but still a very very very good cricketer

He is arguably England’s best bat since Barrington and Dexter, who played in the 60s. So I would say he is indeed a champion of the game. His scoring rate sets him apart from the likes of Cook, Gower, Boycott and Cowdrey.

wow

Alright England, time to ■■■■ off back to the UK.

On the 6 o'clock flight out of Sydney?

Interesting that since Clarke stopped being a selector Lyon has been getting a regular game.
