The March 2009 Interview with King Pietersen
PranavPathak: If you were to be stranded on an island with only two people from PC (including you). Who would you like your partner to be? You have only two options : cricketdudemad and Sureshot.
King Pietersen: Not quite sure I understand the question, as I'm supposed to pick 2, but only have 2 options. So I'll just pick 2 people from PC, and they'd obviously be Tom and Superhussey (think that's her username). Tom cause he's a ledge, and then Superhussey as you'd need someone female on the island, and she's the only female member I know of, bar Stu.
Amiya Shreyas: What makes you return to Bat making in Cricket 2007 downloads?
King Pietersen: Dunno really. I was bored of KP using the Woodworm bats, so just made the Pellara for myself, and realised it looked pretty decent, so decided to upload it onto PC, and then it just went from there.
Highlander999: What XI would you like to see England play in the Ashes based on current form?
King Pietersen: Strauss *
Cook
Pietersen
Bopara
Collingwood
Prior +
Flintoff
Broad
Swann
Anderson
Jones/Davies
Obviously I'd like Bell in there, as he's a sexy mofo and looks good, but unless he scores a few double tons for Warwickshire he's not getting in
.Giggity Giggity: KP, Bell or Baker?:
King Pietersen: KP >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bell >>>>>>>>>> Yuvraj >>>>>>>>>>>> Baker
Leicester Fox: If there was a chinese person in your house how many chinese people would there be in your house?
King Pietersen: Seeing as the question states "a" Chinese person, that implies there's just the one, and no-one else in my family is of Chinese origin, so there would just be the 1.
Funknath: Why do you think you are better than Tom?
King Pietersen: I don't
Will_ NA: Why is Ian Bell such a poor, bottling, schoolboy-level, overrated, ginger, piece of rubbish batsman?
King Pietersen: He isn't. Bell's a ledge. Going to end his career held in higher acclaim than Bradman.
scion_sid: Who took my cheese?
King Pietersen: I blame Lee.
skater: What made you a cricket fan?
King Pietersen: Guess?
It has to be Kevin Pietersen primarily. I got into cricket a little bit during the 2005 Ashes, but then my interest wavered a little bit. Then I recieved his autobiography as a present, and it sort of inspired me to begin playing the game. Then once I'd started playing my love for the game just increased and increased until it reached the current stage of just pure love for the sport. It is probably one of my few passions in life, alongside music, football and Katy Perry....Dr. Pepper: What do you think of Yuvraj Singh?
King Pietersen: He's a pie chucking, left arm flith bowling twat.
Pakistani Prince: Which KP shot do you prefer and why?
King Pietersen: I'm a big fan of any KP shot, but my fave would probably be his huge straight lofted drive off Glenn McGrath at Lords in 2005. Showed perfect technique, and he smashed a man who'd bowled one of the great spells of fast bowling onto the Lords Balcony, brilliance.
Close contenders would be the Switch-Hit for six off Scott Styris and the reverse sweep six off Muralitharan. All awesome shots.
tech.007: Would you have supported KP if he played for South Africa?
King Pietersen: Obviously not
I'd have been a Ravi Bopara fanboy. I'd have still enjoyed watching KP play, but if he'd have played for South Africa he'd have been batting at 7 or 8 and had been an off-spinning all-rounder, so he probably wouldn't have made it big anyway.shravi: Why is Yuvraj Singh so damn good?
King Pietersen: He isn't.
Kev: What keeps you posting here at Planetcricket?
King Pietersen: Boredom, lacking employment has meant my activity on this site has increased in recent months. I enjoy the depression caused by being mocked by members from various countries when England get smashed as well. It's like a drug.
Hitterman: If someone will come to your door and will say that he is Bill gates, what will be your reaction? What you would like to offer him as a snacks?
King Pietersen: Hmm, interesting question. Don't know why Bill Gates would be in Sunny Suffolk, or why he'd be at my door, but I'd probably not let him in unless he was offering me money, he seems like abit of a boring bloke, I'd direct him to Lee's house, they'd probably get on a charm!
Feelin Blue?: Do you think Right Hand Batsmen or Left Hand Batsmen are better to watch? Who are your favourite Left Hand and Right Hand batsmen and what are your favourite Right Hand and Left Hand strokes to watch?
King Pietersen: Pietersen can play right and left handed, so I don't need to choose.....
Seriously, I prefer watching right handers, I think they're generally more elegant. Obviously there are exceptions, like Gower, but I think generally the right handers are better to watch. Guys like Ian Bell, Michael Vaughan, Sachin Tendulkar, Kevin Pietersen, AB De Villiers. I don't really have a preference though tbh.
Favourite strokes? I'd go for the Cover Drive and the On Drive, both glorious strokes to watch when you've got a technically correct player playing them.
CDM: What was the best thing before sliced bread?
King Pietersen: Kevin Pietersen.
ZoraxDoom: Right, you're just wondering about one day when suddenly a masked gunman abducts you, you then wake up, your blindfold taken off and you're in a room with 2 men. The gunman holds his gun to your head and gives you a choice. Your first option is to go off with the other man, Graeme. He's a lovely little fella, nice shaven bald head, nice little Ben Sherman pink shirt, he works for an advertising company in Brighton, drives a sports car, and he loves you dearly.
You then have to live out the life of an outwardly gay man, spending the rest of your days with Graeme. Doing all the activity in the bedroom, going to the bars with him at 3 in the morning, cutting the back out of your leather pants at, just generally being affectionate towards eachother. You end up consumating your relationship with Graeme by getting married, and at the end of the marriage you do what they used to do in the olden days when the origins of the kiss where showing your 'love' in front of half of Brighton. So when the vicar would normally say 'you may now kiss the bride', he actually says 'Your may now knob the Aus'.
This may not sound like a fantastic option, and you may be thinking immediately that you'll go for the 2nd one. But, the 2nd option is your close family are killed, and you then have to live the rest of your life with a monkey. Living in a tree, with a monkey, eating bananas, other fruit and nuts and just living your life all alone with this monkey.
Your choice. Graeme or Bobo?
King Pietersen: Gotta be Graeme. He's a lovely bloke, got a nice car, a big house, nice shaved head, nice little Ben Sherman shirt. Sounds like a decent bloke, better than having my family killed and having to live with a monkey anyway.
King Cricket: Who's your second fav cricketer after KP?
King Pietersen: Many would be under the impression that it's Ian Bell. But it's not, my 2nd favourite cricketer is in fact Ravinder Bopara. He's an Essex lad who's got a hell of alot of potential. He's got a fantastic mental attitude, and has proven he can make it at the highest level. He can play all forms of the game, he can build a innings in a Test Match, or smash an attack apart in an ODi, he's a class act.
Kshitiz_Indian: Why?
King Pietersen: Why not?
jordox: Pietersen or Pilkington? Can't say both.
King Pietersen: Jordan, you're an arse. It's almost impossible to pick between KP and Pilkers. If I had to pick between the 2 though I'd go for Mr Pietersen. England couldn't cope without KP, but Gervais and Merchant would still be funny without Pilky. Very tough choice though, both are living legends.
Jaztheman: If you had the chance between getting 1 appearance for Everton or 100 appearances for Liverpool, which would you choose?
King Pietersen: 1 appearance for Everton, just so long as I remain a squad member after that 1 appearance and earn Premier League money
Magz: If you were the frontman for a 4 piece band, which 3 members of PC would you choose to be in the band with you?
King Pietersen: [/BSimbazz on Guitar. He's always gloating about his superior musical ability to mine, so he'd have to be picked.
Matt (Evo) on Drums. Gotta have a legend on drums, and Matt would be awesome in a band, acting as sort of the Pritchard type character.
Stu on Bass/backing vocals. Gotta have sexy Stu in the band to attract the ladies, me and Stu would be the babe magnets, with Si and Matt getting the groupies we're not interested in
holdenator: Yes? No? Yay? or Nay?
King Pietersen: Yes
naresh091: Why Sehwag is so brilliant to watch more than Hayden?
King Pietersen: He's more entertaining as he's a slogger, his innings' in New Zealand so far have been incredibly entertaining, but Hayden's the better batsman. Ask Ben.
KBC: What would you be if you didn't know what is cricket at all?
King Pietersen: Very, very bored, and not answering this question. Obviously.
Gilly Fan: Who is number 1 right now? Australia or South Africa? Also, what is your prediction for the Ashes.
King Pietersen: Australia for me. They had abit of a blip, but most sides would if they had to pick Cameron White and Shane Watson.
Lords'll be a draw, last time there was a result there was when McGrath had that spell of pure brilliance in the 1st innings, destroying the England top-order with some fantastic seam bowling, and I don't think any of the Australian bowlers are capable of a spell as good as that, and England certainly won't bowl Australia out for 190 this time. So that'll be a draw.
So that leaves it to 4 Tests, one of which will almost certainly be rain affected leading to another draw. I can see England winning at Headingley and possibly at The Oval as well, so I see a 2-1 win for England.
Stu: Why am I so damn good at everything?
King Pietersen: You're not. I'm far better.
Akash00: Who is favorite Non-English cricketer???
King Pietersen: Kevin Pietersen. He's South African.
Seriously, probably Sachin Tendulkar. Big fan of his, he's had a massively long career, has scored thousands of runs, is the greatest ODi batsman of all-time, and one of the all-time great Test batsmen as well. Awesome player, even if he is Indian.
Dale Steyn's a close 2nd.
PhilD123: Rockbusters or Monkey News? With a explanation of why.
King Pietersen: Another top question. If I was to choose between the 2 I'd go for Monkey News. It's the iconic Karl feature, and has seen him come up with some genius stuff. From the Chimpanauts, to the monkey called Crap that had it's name tatto'd on it's head, to the Monkey builder. Rockbusters is brilliant, but I'd go for Monkey News personally.
Of all the Karl features, Educating Ricky's my fave though. He's come out with some even better stuff on that feature. Hairy Chinese kid, the kid that was deaf then banged her head and could hear again, just pure genius. I love that man.
Abhas: Why is a manhole cover round?
King Pietersen: Because the hole is round.
Bibu07: What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and grey when you throw it away?
King Pietersen: Old one. Charcoal.
Harrypotter fan: Why is Yuvraj miles better than Pietersen will ever be?
King Pietersen: I know I was supposed to answer the other, but bugger it, I'm answering this one. Yuvraj will never be fit to scrub the soles of Kevin Pietersen's shoes. KP's a legend, Yuvraj is a twat. KP > Yuvraj. Fact.
And the member that saw it wasn't happy when he discovered my own altered bit
