Ridiculous to appoint someone who has a negative personal relationship with one or more current players and no doubt will keep mates in the team past their best. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/32715197 Andrew, do the decent thing and resign.
Yeah, I agree. And he's not going to allow that c**t, as he called him, play for England on his watch, however many unbeaten triple centuries he scores. English cricket has always suffered from a bad case of foot in mouth.
What got me about today was that they said there was trust issues about Pietersen playing However they offered him a role to do with the ODI team - so they trust him to do that?
Further confirmation that ECB don't get one day cricket and are prepared to compromise their "principles" as a sop to those who think England should be doing better?
Whatever anyone may think of KP, I think the ECB have treated him very badly. When we are 2-0 down to Australia ................................
Who else thinks Andrew Strauss is just lying and puts his personal feelings above the team? Paws in the air please.
There is a poll on the espncricinfo site that askes whether Pietersen should play for England again - currently 103,600 for and 16,500 against! http://www.espncricinfo.com/
