England end KP's international career.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Wonder if he's rewriting his autobiography. Or his ghost is at least.

[Aidan11]

I wonder if KP says anything public in response.

He'll know how to play it. Won't react, just give a dignified response - entitled to his opinion, sorry he feels that way - that sort of thing.

Good to see Strauss isn't such a bore the entire time. Sky could make it a feature where Strauss gives a verbal about a player and viewers have to ring in to guess who he's talking about.

I haven't been this shocked since Bill Grundy interviewed The Sex Pistols.

what shocked you, the word used, or the way Grundy goaded and goaded them until the word was said?

it was the latter, for me

[sussexpob]

Ok, lets move on.

Should someone be sacked over off air remarks? I suppose a lot will depend on what has been said, and the context. I think what is said off air, should stay off air, but if there is a complaint by a person who was there, then it should be dealt with accordingly.

It wasn't off air, it was being beam live on Australian tv.....

And I'm not buying this "it's not offensive" line either....He dropped the c bomb on tv, my mum would slap me if I said that to her face, my grandmother would drop dead....

He can call Kp whatever he wants, that's not an issue, he may have reason to do so, but saying it on live tv, even if a mistake, is unforgivable as a broadcast commentator

How can his apology to KP be in any way sincere after his remark about him. If he had any guts he would simply have apologized for the fact that it was broadcast.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Apologising for making their differences public? He might not like KP, yet still not wish to defame him or to make their dispute known.

I think unforgivable is a bit strong. Don't we try to forgive people if at all possible? And I hope that people don't lose their jobs unless great harm is done or likely to be done. Strauss can easily be forgiven, as I hoped Kp could have been for the doos incident. It is offensive, and it's not right that people should hear that kind of comment. But it feels obviously forgivable.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I doubt Strauss' mum and grandma are very happy about it!

So what meaning did his apology have, so sorry KP I'm mortified that I think you're a c___.?

[Arthur Crabtree]

No, that I made our differences public. That even if I don't like you, you don't deserve to be called a *modded* on tv across the world.

[hopeforthebest]

No, that I made our differences public. That even if I don't like you, you don't deserve to be called a *modded* on national tv across the world.

Their differences were made public in 2012.

[Arthur Crabtree]

And seemed to have been resolved.

[hopeforthebest]

And seemed to have been resolved.

Only by KP, clearly not by Strauss who still harbours his hurt.

[Aidan11]

There seems to be two sides to Strauss. One - the laid back happy-go-lucky type of fella and two - the dark side. KP better watch his back.
