Once again English cricket fails to amaze me. Dont forget we have just drawn a series against "quote our head at the ECB" an average West Indies team.

There are a lot of arguments on both sides as to whether KP should play for England and i can see both sides of it. But hey, what fantastic timing, wait till he gets 355no. Yup, that should make the paying...yes the paying supporters agree.

Total idiots at the ECB, since when did trust win a game, yes you need a settled dressing room, but does KP upsetting people make Jimmy Anderson bowl like a moron, no ofc not.

The trouble is the public schoolboys who run our, yes our game have completely no idea what the fans actually want. If i sit at Lords or The Oval watching us get smashed by the Aussies, im going to think....Wheres our best batsman KP, oh yes sitting at home doing a crossword. I certainly wont be thinking, oh well at least we have a happy dressing room.

Total crap from the ECB, but then again, have they ever been any different One day i will think of something clever to write here.......This however is not that day

the funniest thing out of all this stuff is that he cant be trusted but they offered him a position as an ODI consultant or something lol. your (ECB) not willing to let him play but your actually willing to work along side him ?! 5am should sleep...


england should do the following: keep the middle order as is. Ballance Bell Root.... and whoever else there is i forget. the opening position with Cook is open... ;) maybe do what they did with Trotty. make KP open. *he said he would do anything to play for England again right???* im sure he wouldnt fail that much. it would be a pretty aggressive move i guess. or maybe play his for Ali??? force him to bowl some pies with Root whilst extending that batting line up a fair way... facing that batting line up would be fairly intimidating

are england gonna pick Lees or Lyth? who are some other options

We are badly short of a top spin option, Moeen Ali certainly isnt the answer, but there just isnt much coming through the system.

We need an opening batsman, Trott never was the answer, maybe Compton, but he didnt set the world alight as he is a slowgo, like Cook.

To offer KP the advisory role was a bit of a slap in the face, hardly suprised he turned it down.

Lees, Lyth and Rashid should have played on tour, what was the point of taking them otherwise. And Stokes, Carberry and Wright played well in the big bash, now forgotten by England.

I despair............ One day i will think of something clever to write here.......This however is not that day

Tricky situation, not helped by a lot of things, including KP's big score against a second rate team that hasnt won for two years (during which he was dropped 4 times).

I wouldnt want KP in my team, knowing that it's possible that he'll be chatting to the opponents, taking the piss out of the team that he's "trusted" by.

And dont forget his book...

He shouldnt have been told that he was in with a chance if he scored loads of runs, that was the stupid part.

I play cricket and theres one or two guys who i cant stand in the dressing room. I wouldnt even slash on them if they were on fire.

However when im in my run up to bowl, i couldnt give a stuff who they are or what they do or say. Its just me and the batsman the other end.

Sorry but its crap to say about dressing room problems are to blame for the England cricket teams inability to win atm One day i will think of something clever to write here.......This however is not that day
