"The guy's an absolute cunt"

All i can hear is ....beeep hisss beep hissssss! and then an apology!

[destinydude]

"unreserved apology to anyone who has heard it and especially to Kevin Pietersen" FLMAO

[Buzzo]

Yeah, I laughed at that. Not sure its really worth 'apologising' after you've been caught calling someone a cunt.

You can't really hear a thing unfortunately. I think the whole situation is hilarious, particularly because Strauss always tries so hard to maintain his prim and proper persona.

Exactly, he looks a complete ****house issuing a groveling apology to KP.

Totally. It would have been way better if he'd stood by it.

'Yeah, I got caught out calling him a cunt, but I cannot stand the bloke - he is a cunt" The England team seem really snidey these days. Lots of this stuff going on in the background no-one really settling/airing their differences.

Seems that KP seemed to fit in better under Vaughan and his style of management, and hasn't really found a home under the public school boy management of Cook and Strauss. Or since he was dumped in the Moores debacle.

He has to think about his job, no?

Hardly going to come out and say

'Sorry for the language, but I stand by what I said. Hes a cunt'

He could have simply said I'm sorry for offending listeners with my language. Didn't have to go on bended knee to KP.

Yeah, I was being a bit facetious, and he does need to think of his career in the media.

But it was a pretty hollow apology, so soon after he produced the insult. The fact he didn't know he was being recorded underlines that he meant it.
