Kevin Pietersen's Autobiography.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Dunno. He scored 8000 Test runs and 23 hundreds.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I likened him more to the innocents of the novels of Henry Fielding, Tom Jones and Joeseph Andrews whose innocence and goodness provokes the corruptness in those around them, and their perfidy, while causing unwarranted hardship for our hero, serves to illustrate his purity of spirit.

AC I likened you to Mark Antony earlier but you now have become Rumpole of the Bailey, an advocate who enjoys defending apparently hopeless cases. Although Rumpole is primarily a Keats man.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I love Keats! Actually, I'm very poor at arguing, I know that. In this case, it does help to have a lot of right on my side.

It seems Pietersen is like a time traveler who has gone to a place and observed much unpleasantness but obeys the time travelers code that he must not interfere in such a way that changes the course of history. Now on his return he feels able to chronicle the events as he remembers them.

Pure Mark Antony. But sincere.

Graeme Swann: We were not bullies – and Kevin Pietersen was over the hill anyway

will anger KP fans even though those weren't his exact words.

Think Gooch was making the point that even though Swann retired he should have stayed with the team but Swann doesn't want to answer that.
