Cricket South Africa has demanded an investigation into controversial remarks made by Kevin Pietersen.
In a recent magazine interview, the England batsman reiterated his complaints about the racial quota system in his native country.
He also commented on the match-fixing scandal involving Hansie Cronje. |

| It has to be known that on what context Kevin told this or whether he really remarked anything as such or not. Because everytme when we come to know about such remarks the next day comes denial. |

| It would be a shame if he was banned for any games, he is our best player, but I think making these noises is just serving as a warning to him. Kevin is entitled to his opinion but he's made it clear enough by now that he has an English heart and has no love for his birthplace - I hope he leaves it at that. He has been scoring a lot of runs for us lately and I hope that remains his man focus, not his latest handbag fight with Graeme Smith or whatever. |

KP has this selfish agenda which makes a mockery of those black South Aficans that were oppressed on an official, state level through Apartheid.
Nothing can ever be done to redress those injustices - KP should just STFU on this issue. |

| Without knowing his exact comment on hansie cronje but knowing what he has said in past on racial quota issue, do you feel he deserves a ban? If so what sort of length would you look at? Me personally i would be looking at a test minimum. |

| Someone who turned his back on his native country, Pietersen is simply an unashamed selfish opportunist. Too bad he cannot change his accent to be more English. If he did not have the morals to be faithful to his country of birth, he at least should not have attacked the fabric of that nation. |

| He must be addressing to the audience he has in his present country. He is now quite successful as an English player. May be he is eyeing something bigger, that is why he has attacked his country of birth. |

| Shut up idiots, you can't ban someone for speaking their mind. Maybe you can in India? |
