Not doubting that, but when you spend nine months a year as a team in near-isolation, you need to get on.

effin Kieswetter. Just play Prior ffs
They do I agree but I don't like the way there seems to be a clique developing in the England team. It's not all KP's fault. Swann never got any grief over his book and a few of them write newspaper columns too which isn't always helpful.

true enough but the others aren't seen a particularly disruptive elements in the sheds - KP is an individual who actually believes all the hype written about him, he really belives he is better than the rest - he may well be but he should keep it to himself and be a real team member and not slag off his team mates
can you imagine Beefy or Sir Garfield et al doing that sort of thing in their heyday ?
Swanny couldn't have been more 'public' with his feelings, he didn't slag people off behind their backs ( as far as we konw)

I imagine that if I had to spend four months on tour with Swann, I'd punch his lights out at some point.

Ha!
Whilst it seems certain Lancs will now play in the second division of the Championship next season, a win in Bristol on Sunday sealed a semi-final spot in the CB40. One bright spot in a very grim season.
