England’s Kevin Pietersen playing for Royal Challengers in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) is under attack from our bold and beautiful cricket Ladies.
Former Indian cricketer Diana Edulji called him a MCP (Male Chauvinist Pig). Diana also said that Kevin had obviously not seen the way the English girls play and termed him a "snooty character". She added "There is a lot of aggression when women play, there is sledging especially when we play England and Australia.
Why he’s a Pig…? He said ‘it’s a man’s game, not a game for girls’…referring to cricket. His statement didn’t go down well with our women cricketers.
Kevin was defending England’s aggressive approach in the first Test against Bangladesh, by claiming that cricket is a man’s game. Graeme Swann became the first England off spinner to take ten wickets in a Test since Jim Laker in 1956, but his achievement was laced with controversy after his gratuitous outburst against Junaid Siddique. The Bangladeshi batsman completed his maiden Test hundred before Swann struck to swing the match in England’s favour. But on dismissing Siddique, Swann raised his middle finger and roared "fuck off", he later apologised for his behaviour.
Stuart Broad also attracted censure for racing the full length of the pitch in a successful search of an lbw decision against Abdur Razzak.
However supporting the foul actions of his players, Pietersen was adamant that England must continue to stand up for themselves. "It’s a man’s game this, it’s not a game for girls – especially when you’re playing Test match cricket," he said. "I was christened in international cricket and believe me I got a lot worse in my first Ashes series against those Australians than anything we’ve chucked at the Bangladeshis out here.
Now can somebody please remind Kevin that, the England’s women’s team won the Women’s World Cup in 2009.
