OK so the autobiogs' from Roy Keane and KP are out and they both focus on the relationships in the changing room and it was with interest that I read a really good article in todays Sunday Times by ex cricketer Ed Smith who wrote as his time as a young cricketer making his way in the game.
He wrote that conforming sometimes borders on bullying and ask's when is bullying banter?
When does a group of friends become a clique? Is freezing someone out bullying?
Respect for senior players can be overstated and gives them the opportunity for bullying, they had it bad when they were making it so "now it's our turn to dish it out."
KP says he saw it in the England changing room and singles out Prior, then Roy Keane was accused of it by Fergie but also states Fergie never tried to stop it.
Confused?
