Completely untrue and wholly without foundation

By 6000 | 6000 | January 14, 2010

Not much good news in the cricket for England this morning, but I note that The Times is up to its usual tricks again:

Apology to Kevin Pietersen

THE Times would like to make a full apology to Kevin Pietersen for printing an article headlined “KP’s beer-flinging fury” on 6 January 2010. Following representations on My Pietersen’s behalf made by the England team management and the ECB (Eng-land [sic] and Wales Cricket Board), The Times now accepts that the article was completely untrue and wholly without foundation.

KP was out again cheaply at the Wanderers this morning.
Let’s hope he doesn’t throw any beer over the crowd again like he didn’t do last time.
