He's done pretty well in Big Bash with the bat.

I saw about 3 minutes of his stint with Ricky Ponting before I had to switch off in fear of putting the tv screen through. I don't know what it is about that bloke but he makes my skin crawl, I don't think the bloke has got an ounce of genuine humility in him. Mind you that format of seeing as well as hearing the commentators doesn't work for me at all.

Every time I hear him on the tellie - which has been quite a lot this BBL - I hear affectations of humbleness and over-the-top respect for (ex)colleagues and opponents. He says plenty of the right things sceptical me isn't convinced. Every so often that ego (or absolute confidence, if you like) pokes it's head above the parapet as well.

Who should play for England or not is now being decided on twitter and media, rather than selectors deciding team. 
I think KP is trolling them all about selection. 
Morgan has fallen to the trap by getting in online discussion with KP.

Bit strange since he said not two months ago that he'd love to be playing for England with KP again.
