- 28/7/2015 | KP Impression | GRAEME Swann has been one of the more vocal critics of former teammate Kevin Pietersen since the axed batsmen revealed fractures in the English dressing room in his book last year. But this is next level.
Swann used a weekly Triple M radio show he has been appearing on with Australian cricket champions Matthew Hayden and Mark Waugh during the Ashes series to take the mickey out of “KP” - who has been campaigning for a recall to the England side on Twitter.
While it was all in good fun, Swann’s responses offer an insight into how he is viewed by one of his old teammates.
The impersonation isn't the star here, it's the material - which is the hardest thing to pull off. Swann is a great impersonator and very funny.
Very true
Love the way he imitates K.P referring to himself in the 3rd person.Sums him up .Brilliant Swanny.
Funny comments here!
KP was extremely talented but why would Swann be jealous of a guy who wasted his talent as his ego was so big, averaged 47 but could have been 57 or higher, failed completely as captain and alienated his team and his coach inevitably getting pushed out in ignominy. He constantly failed in innings due to his arrogance but always pulled an incredible innings out a the moment he was beginning to look bad. I have never seen such a pattern before. It suggests if his ego was in check he could have been one of the true greats and had a longer career too.
Swann knows better that any of us how his attitude affected the team and Swann is also one of Englands greatest spinners (and a bit of a knob too yes). To suggest jealousy is ridiculous, but people who can't comprehend the full complexity of that situation will always try to simplify things.
The comical take of KP averaging 50 odd for Surrey by scoring a single 300 and nothing else higher than 12 was precisely what he was. He replicated exactly that pattern over and over for England He will remain the only batsman I know with such a weird statistical anomoly.
Love this! Swanny is a legend
+Trent Dancerson Swann didn't quit. His body did.
This is the most split a comment section as I've ever seen. Why can't you just enjoy the banter without mentioning how swann left the ashes tour, or saying how bad KP was
This is brilliant.He does a great impression of KP and taking the piss as well.Love it😂😂
FANTASTIC !!!!! Swann is brilliant.
So, so, so so so good
Did Swann and Pieterson send each other Xmas cards this year do you think?
Does sound like the same author of KP Genius account
Well it may not have been KP, but surely the next best thing. Hilarious!!😂😂😂
KP is a legend of the game Swann is just immature and ran away when the going for tough, he’s just jealous of KP.
Swanny is England’s second best bowler of the last 20 years and best off spinner ever.
Get a life.
Who deserted his team mates in the middle of an ashes tour....
Thomas Morris who booked tickets to fly home early, KP as well, who texted the opposition about how to get out his captain, who wrote a book about his fellow team mates and Had a little cry about them takin the mick , whose kit was thrown out of the Notts dressing room, and chucked out of Hampshire, who made a fuss about playing England now wants to play for South Africa 🤔🤔🤔KP
Dominic Allin even Strauss and the ecb said he never told the South Africans how to get Strauss out...
@@dominicallin834 he also never said he wanted to play for SA.
@@dominicallin834 "who texted the opposition about how to get out his captain" You're flat out lying. The ecb and Strauss have admitted he didn't. "who wrote a book about his fellow team mates and Had a little cry about them takin the mick" Don't see anything wrong with writing a book. If the players and the bowlers were genuinely being dickheads, he had a right to criticise them.
who needs to get a sense of humour ?
Dont get me wrong. Swann is a knob. But this was friggin hilarious 😂😂😂 never liked him or KP though the talent of both has never been in doubt
🙄
Swann is such a tool. Turns out he was in the “cool club” that made life a misery for all the guys they deemed “not cool”. I’ve never heard anyone go so rogue on a team mate like this. Grow up.
Good on ya Swanny. Absolute legend 🤣🤣🤣
Where was the skipper when all this shot was going down? Ian Chappell this out in five minutes
KP has more talent in his left bollock than swann has in all cricketing family. played and thrived under immense pressure and not run home after gettin tonked...
adam caan Swann was a good spinner. KP was a bellend. Talking to oppo worse than desertingx
There is nothing wrong with talking to your friends. Especially when they are making sure you are ok after your team is running a Twitter account which is making personal attacks against you.
Swann was a better fielder and bowler. KP was a better batsman, So clearly not that much better
Swan wasn't a better fielder, he was a better bowler, but nowhere near the gulf between kps and swanns batting, swann was a shit house who deserted his pals, kp was the best batsmen in all formats that England have ever had, pure jealousy that's all that is
@@gpilley1 Oh boo hoo! The KP Genius account to take the piss out of his inflated ego! Go and cry on Andy Flower's elbow. The man thought he was God's gift to the world and found that in England we don't like people like that.
this is brutal
Pieterson took himself way too serious and was tool but Graeme Swann was always a Mouthy Bullying Tw@t
I would like to think that if I was ever good enough to play for England, I would not resort to publicly taking to p*** out of anybody else in the changing room, irrespective of how much of a c*** they were. I would like to think I wouldn’t bail out when the going got tough either.
Disgusting abuse. KP is being exposed, bullied and humiliated. Disgraceful
w Hobbs no why doesn't he write another book about it, just to get some more attention
what's with your hate of the man? so what if he is a knobhead, he's the best england cricketer for 50+ years. this video makes me cringe - Swann is such a bell-end, just proves KP's claims. I genuinely think Swann and Broad were jealous of his popularity with the fans. In time KP is the one that will be remembered.
KP is obviously arrogant and I've never met the man, but he's probably a pain in the arse to deal with too. That being said, the ECB were way too heavy handed and draconian when dealing with him. He should have played 25-50 more tests for England. What a shame.
Popularity with the fans? Are you kidding me? There was a reluctant enjoyment of KP and his skills. There was recognition that he was a player that was great to watch but he was never loved by the fans. He would have played for any country in the world if it meant him being able to play Test Cricket. Swann was a million times more popular with England fans, Broad too.
I agree. He deserves a lot more respect for his valuable contribution to English Cricket during his relatively short international career, sadly cut short by poor man management
Very few cricketers like the sound of their own voice as much as Swanny does and it has got more so since he retired..... A very big ego inside of a passable test off-spinner, who quit half way through an Ashes tour when the bowling was a little bit fast for the poor little princess.....
KP was a very good player but full of himself and was critical of some of his team mates, so the Aussies love to have a go at him and call him a "wanker". Shane Warne was exactly the same and even worse with his off field antics but the majority of Aussies won't stand for any criticism of him. The Aussies are good at a lot of things but they are undefeated World Champions of double standards.
How does Greame Swann get away with being a complete prick. If Archer or KP had deserted England in the middle of an ashes series, can you imagine the backlash they would get? It’s one rule for the typical English chaps (good old boys) and another if you are a bit different. Swann never got the stick he deserved for what he did.
Dude it was. 7 odd years ago and he got crucified for it. Should have gone down as the best English Spinner maybe ever. Instead he's shunned
Ben Knight I think most people still see him as England’s best ever spinner or at least one of, which is completely fair. I don’t think he was crucified in anyway near the same manner that KP was for his indiscretions or other players. It wasn’t a defining moment in Swann’s career. He escaped the backlash of a terrible tour because he snuck out through the back door midway.
@@fessam652 Maybe it's based on who you talk to. This was Swannys last ever involvement with England. What's remembered about him, for me, is he's the guy who quit on his team.
It's one rule for decent people, and another for puffed up egos. We do tall poppy syndrome in England. This is a man who admits being reduced to tears by a piss taking Twitter parody account.
Swanny is so funny
Well if you ever needed the proof that Swann was one of the jealous ones against KP, here it is. Slightly funny, but only slightly.
swan clearly got bullied at school by some big kid like pietersen
If you ever needed proof that in England we don't like idiots with big egos like Pietersen, here it is. Swann was never alone in his view of Pietersen.
Swanny is a fool 😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
This basically confirms that nobody liked KP in the England team
Because Swann is so good
So so so nicely so so Traitor-Pietersen
Spot on swannny, sums the shithouse right up
Terrible bloke swan to be fair this probably proves the shit that was going on in that changing room. KP is an English legend. Swan is nothing but a coward that walked on his team mates. Swan is an absolute disgrace doing for this
What about texting your SA mates about your captain? Humiliating James Taylor? KP might be a great player, but he's a terrible egotist.
@@gregmarah8908 Considering the KP genius account I think he had a right to insult some of him teammates. Considering it was in private he had every right to do it. The way he treated James Taylor was a bit fucked but it's not really surprising since he's admitted if he believes something he will say it.
shambolic
Find this hilarious hahaha
Brilliant. Bigger narcissist Trump or KP?
Swann in third. I've never met someone that finds themselves so amusing.
Swannys is a god, KP a spoiled waste of talent could have still been playing if he wasn't such a problem creator
How did KP waste his talent? ECB did that mismanaging him. Swann was a great player, and both are arrogant, prize twats. Too many big characters in that dressing room.
KP was the only batsman in the world beside Tendulkar and Lara to tonk McGrath, Lee and Warney all around the field. Swann bowled well to some average players with little experience. If Swann had have bowled to Australia at that same time, he’d have gone the distance. So no, Swann is not a God. Far from it I’d say…
It’s a poor impression all round. Very try hard tbh. Swann thinks he’s funnier than he is. Bit hypocritical in all honesty
