English cricket and all-time low

The KP thing really has done it for me.
English cricket is really at its lowest point when a few arrogant people like Strauss and Cook can carry such weight as to bar the best English qualified player in the country. It staggers belief.
Even in the 70's and 80's we played Sir Geoffrey, who many believed was arrogant and playing the game for himself. The fact was he was THE best player in the team!!
I hope we lose this next couple of test series BADLY. And both Strauss and Cook get the sack. Lets have a completely fresh start next year with Root at the helm and a new coach, I'm hesitant to say Gillespie because I don't want to lose him for Yorkshire but que sera sera....

Proven that Cook is Strausses mistress, says Miss Cook it is either him or me. The logic on form should have been Pietersen, but there again Pietersen doesn't wave his hips as well.

what don't they trust KP to do ,score runs or offer his unwanted opinions
Cook and Strauss are a couple of rosy cheeked nancy boys who cant handle honest confrontation like men, they invent stories to create mystery ,when theres no difficulty understanding whats happening at all

The coverage of this rubbish is frankly unbelievable

KP this & KP that. It's been done so many times now. Basically he's a bad apple who has even been proven to offer advice to the opposition about how to get out England batsmen because he didn't like them!

Effectively a traitor!

England should have simply not renewed his contract but since when did one player hold the game to ransom

KP wants all things all ways and the ECB decided enough was enough

1 decent innings doesn't change that and neither should it. He's hardly given a case for inclusion, he's only really played one decent championship innings!

It's sickening the coverage been given to this nonsense. There is only one reason KP isn't part of things, it's himself! Why would any one have to continual make allowances for a player who clearly lost the respect of the dressing room a long long time ago. It's completely one sided egotistical madness & the media fools are pandering as usual. Time to shut up!

People are dying in the world. Things are happening and all we hear is this 'poor me' rubbish from a traitor who has been handsomely rewarded over many years as a cricketer with England despite been South African!

Aye, KP ain't a Saint, but England management and his teammates haven't come out aces either.

There's only one place he could potentially bat in the test team. And that would be at 4 ahead of Bell

Don't understand the public outcry behind why he wouldn't get selected. KP edges the averages by a couple of runs, buts it's hardly like they are picking cannon fodder ahead of him

Pieterson would fit in thusly : My side: Cook, Lyth, Ballance, Bell, Root, Pietersen, Buttler. Rashid, Brookes, Broad, Anderson
Yep, 5 Yorkshire players...which would kinda cripple the white rose county, but....needs must

Has the OP forgotten the 90s?

My article related to the moral turpitude of the England and Wales Cricket Board Duncan. Yeah, I agree in the 90's England were probably at their lowest point as a team. However I do think the introduction of central contracts, a better fitness regime and the introduction of a proper coach in Fletcher raised the bar somewhat at the end of the 90's.
