Cricket is a game where teamwork is important. Contributions from all three departments are necessary for managing a good result. Hence, teammates are also crucial for managing a better atmosphere within the team.
But, sometimes, it has been found that teammates got involved in ugly fights or feuds. Even, the respective boards failed to handle such issues properly. As a result, those feuds came out pretty badly in front of the public.
Here are the top 5 biggest feuds among teammates that came out ugly in the public
Kevin Pietersen and Matt Prior
Both these players are known for their fantastic cricketing abilities. However, they got involved in a feud that came out in public badly. During his playing days, Pietersen fell out with Matt Prior. In his autobiography, Kevin wrote: “It’s only Prior that I’d seriously have real issues with, because of how he was portrayed as a team man, the heart and soul of the dressing room when he was getting up to the stuff he was getting up to.”
He also added that the former England wicketkeeper was just a loudmouthed “classroom bully”. He also claimed that Prior considered double standards while dealing with him. However, in response, Prior announced that he would share his own view in the near future.
