    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.

    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!
