HMM. Flower has asked to speak to KP, he seems to have declined, not sure why that shouldn't be mentioned in respect of him not being picked for the two squads.

Undoubtedly, if KP proves he can contribute to the team environment and bring the best out of himself and his team mates then great, but if someone comes in and performs (like Bairstow) then they become the incumbent and they're in the drivers seat and they will remain in the team until they stop holding up their end of the bargain. It's no longer a case of KP just ticking the boxes and he's back in, he's lost that right. It's a case of the people in front of him having to lose their form for a sustained period of time.

The ECB and all English fans should be hoping that they don't need to pick Pietersen again, because the people who have replaced him have done their job, and judging by the last test, it's started off well.

KP bats at 4

England's current no. 4 is Ian Bell

KP has been England's best performing batsman in 2012, Bell the worst

Form is irrelevant to his non selection

And yeah, the non-KP has started off brilliantly - they ****ing lost

Nasser Hussain and KP talking before the CB40 match yesterday looked interesting... KP waving his arms about in agitation and Nasser trying to calm him down.

Yep, England never lost a test match with KP playing. Good point.

I wasn't in the country for the past few weeks so I haven't kept up but I read that he sent messages to SA about how to bowl to Strauss. It wasn't Napolean like strategy to suggest bowling around the wicket, but the principle is that he tried helping the opposition. If this is true, he should be banned from all English cricket activities for life, period.
