England might be out of the Cricket World Cup but they still provide the combatants for potentially the tournament’s biggest flashpoint, with arch-enemies Kevin Pietersen and Graeme Swann set to come face to face in the Test Match Special commentary box. Pietersen, who is being loaned to TMS for radio stints by his World Cup employers Fox Sports, will work alongside Swann for the first time at the Auckland semi-final a week on Tuesday. And the powderkeg confrontation between the ex-England team-mates, whose relationship disintegrated in the fall-out from the 2013-14 Ashes whitewash, has been given spice with the possibility KP might now return to county cricket and the national team. Graeme Swann and Kevin Pietersen, once happy team-mates, are not longer on such good terms. Swann and Pietersen are to help commentate on Test Mach Special for the World Cup semi-finals next week. Swann has accused KP of ‘upsetting people wherever he goes’, says the ECB were ‘justified’ in terminating his England contract and calls Pietersen’s autobiography a ‘work of fiction’. Despite the history, TMS producer Adam Mountford is hopeful there will be no trouble between the pair on the day, saying: ‘They’re adults, I’m sure they’ll behave professionally.’ If Pietersen were to pull out of the IPL and re-sign for Surrey, his most likely replacement at Sunrisers Hyderabad is Kumar Sangakkara. The Sri Lankan — Surrey’s overseas player — is only an IPL reserve despite four straight World Cup hundreds. Pietersen has announced his intention to return to county cricket to try and get back in the England set-up. The Six Nations is a rare BBC sporting event not involving Clare Balding. However, Scotland’s blond back-row forward David Denton answers to the nickname ‘Balding’ because of his hairstyle. England’s beleaguered cricket coach Peter Moores, with a reputation for being obsessed with statistics, is likely to be remembered for supposedly saying after the World Cup defeat against Bangladesh: ‘We thought 275 was chaseable, we’ll have to look at the data.’ Peter Moores came under fire for his 'data' response, but he actually said 'we'll have to look at that later' However, what Moores actually said to Test Match Special reporter Ali Mitchell was: ‘We’ll have to look at that later.’ Moores did mention data when interviewed by Sky Sports. Paul McGinley’s leadership insight that so impressed guests at the League Managers Association President’s Dinner last week included the revelation that he persuaded the European Tour to pair some of his potential Ryder Cup partnerships during regular tournaments — without them realising — to see how they gelled. Ryder Cup winning captain Paul McGinley has revealed he got the European Tour to help him test pairings. MCC plot with Cubans. Fidel Castro’s Communist Cuba is an unlikely ally of the MCC in their battle to repel property developers Rifkind Levy Partnership. The MCC hope to block RLP’s building plans behind the Warner Stand at Lord’s by switching a 10-year lease to Cuban Embassy staff. The £8m house earmarked for Cuba personnel is the home of MCC secretary Derek Brewer, who would transfer to the MCC-owned house on Grove End Road currently occupied by the Cubans. The MCC have further kept RLP at bay by buying another well-placed house on the same street. Christian Purslow may not want to leave Chelsea, where he heads their global commercial operation, having secured a £220million shirt sponsorship deal with Yokohama Rubber since arriving in October. It’s understood, though, that former Liverpool managing director Purslow is on the short-list to succeed George O’Grady as chief executive of golf’s European Tour. Twickenham, building up for the Rugby World Cup, have installed a football-style mixed zone which rugby players, far more approachable than their football counterparts, have to walk through while the media are kept behind ropes. Twickenham has introduced a mixed zone for rugby players, but how long before it becomes like football? Sadly, it can only be a matter of time before rugby players wear headphones or talk on their mobile to avoid being interviewed. Former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson has made a good start as manager of Chinese Super League side Shanghai East Asia, where he is understood to be earning as much as £6m a year. Eriksson is said to still need the money, after being swindled out of £10m by a crooked financial advisor and facing big demands from HMRC over tax from film investments. Sven Goran Eriksson is understood to be earning around £6million a year as Shanghai East Asia manager.

England kan vara ur Cricket World Cup men de fortfarande ger de stridande för potentiellt turneringens största flashpoint, med ärkefiender Kevin Pietersen och Graeme Swann inställd på att komma ansikte mot ansikte i Test Match Special kommentarsruta. Pietersen, som blir utlånad till TMS för radiostints av sina VM-arbetsgivare Fox Sports, kommer att arbeta vid sidan av Swann för första gången vid Auckland semifinalen en vecka på tisdagen.

Pietersen har meddelat sin avsikt att återvända till grevskapet cricket för att försöka ta sig tillbaka i Englandsuppställningen. The Six Nations är ett sällsynt BBC-sportevenemang som inte involverar Clare Balding. Skottlands blonda bakrad framåt David Denton svarar dock på smeknamnet ”Balding” på grund av sin frisyr. Englands belägrade crickettränare Peter Moores, med rykte om sig att vara besatt av statistik, kommer sannolikt att bli ihågkommen för att ha sagt efter VM nederlag mot Bangladesh: "Vi trodde 275 var jagande, vi måste titta på data. " Peter Moores kom under eld för hans "data" svar, men han sade faktiskt "vi måste titta på det senare" Men, vad Moores faktiskt sade till Test Match Special reporter Ali Mitchell var: "Vi måste titta på det senare. " Moores nämnde data när intervjuas av Sky Sports. Paul McGinley ledarskap insikt som så imponerade gäster på League Managers Association President's Dinner förra veckan inkluderade avslöjandet att han övertalade European Tour att para ihop några av sina potentiella Ryder Cup partnerskap under regelbundna turneringar - utan att de inser - för att se hur de gelled. Ryder Cup-vinnande kaptenen Paul McGinley har avslöjat att han fått Europatouren för att hjälpa honom att provpara. MCC-komplott med kubaner. Fidel Castros kommunistiska Kuba är en osannolik bundsförvant till MCC i deras kamp för att stöta bort fastighetsutvecklare Rifkind Levy Partnership. MCC hoppas kunna blockera RLP:s byggnadsplaner bakom Warner Stand på Lord’s genom att byta ett 10-årigt hyresavtal till kubansk ambassadpersonal. Huset på 8 miljoner pund som öronmärkts för Kubas personal är hem för MCC:s sekreterare Derek Brewer, som skulle flytta till MCC-ägda huset på Grove End Road som för närvarande ockuperas av kubanerna. MCC har vidare hållit RLP borta genom att köpa ett annat välplacerat hus på samma gata. Christian Purslow kanske inte vill lämna Chelsea, där han leder deras globala kommersiella verksamhet, efter att ha säkrat en £ 220 miljoner skjorta sponsring affär med Yokohama Rubber sedan ankomsten i oktober. Det är dock förstått att tidigare Liverpool verkställande direktör Purslow är på kortlistan för att efterträda George O'Grady som chef för golfens European Tour. Twickenham, som bygger upp inför rugby-VM, har installerat en blandad zon i fotbollsstil som rugbyspelare, långt mer tillgängliga än sina fotbollsmotparter, måste gå igenom medan media hålls bakom rep. Twickenham har infört en blandad zon för rugbyspelare, men hur länge dröjer det innan det blir som fotboll? Tyvärr kan det bara vara en tidsfråga innan rugbyspelare bär hörlurar eller pratar på sin mobil för att undvika att bli intervjuade. Före detta Englandschefen Sven Goran Eriksson har gjort en bra start som manager för Chinese Super League sidan Shanghai East Asia, där han förstås tjäna så mycket som £6m per år.
