I was not aware of the extent of friction between KP and the team/
coach till recently. There is open talk of not giving him too long of
a rope and "tolerating" him while he scores runs. Apparently KP and
Flower are still cross over Peter Moores. Other reports say that the
team never accepted KP because he was not born and raised in England.
This is seriously unprofessional for one. Should we classify England
also as a team that has some sort of "infighting" going on in the
dressing room?
There is a 40 minute (or maybe 50) audio on cricinfo where they
discuss this. That is the first I learned of the seriousness of the
matter.
Can folks shed light - what is the extent of this dislike (for want of
better word) for KP. Who is leading the opposite pack - is it Flower?
What about the players? Is there anyone on KP's side?
PS: Now that India does not play real Cricket for a while, all
interest is on the last Eng-Pak test :-)
