Yeah, more and more inclined to agree. Obviously Pietersen is and always will be a massive wanker, but genius writes its own rules, as the phrase has it.
My word, two boundaries in one over. We're spoilt, suddenly.

Might sneak to 120 now which is a total at least. Probably not enough but who knows.

Especially when the top 6 is looking so shoddy. I cba to look up the 2012 averages for Cook, Trott and Bell, but they really can't be pretty. Prior too, I would think. Obvs KP did nowt in UAE, but at least he's produced two match changing innings since then. Now that the dust is settling over the texting, Cook will probably have a long hard look at how the side is most likely to win anything in his first year and a half in charge and I can't see that not including KP.

Yeah - good effort from Broad and Swann to get us somewhere close to respectability, but SA should chase this down easily enough.

Bopara at 3? WTF? No joke, Wright should be one of the first names on the teamsheet.

Pretty much it in a nutshell. KP or no we're going to have two unproven members of the top six (Bairstow presumably will be one & there'll be Strauss's replacement too), so no need to make it three.
Would actually guess Prior has done ok this year tho, seemed to pass 50 as often as not versus SA.
Meanwhile Botha is surprisingly camp, isn't he?
EDIT: Would've guessed wrong. KP the only batsman to average 40 for the calendar year in tests.

Wow, thats a dire stat. Even I was under the impression that prior had better numbers than that. Just seemed to get runs whenever Eng were in a hole. Still not sure why he is not in the limited overs squad

It is what it is. Prior gets talked up as some god of the wicketkeeper batsman world, but the only problem is, he's not very good.

Sssshh ... he'll probably discover he has a Welsh grandmother. "A man with no nick at all" announced Hussain as he came in. For a moment there I thought he was talking about Gladstone Small.

Nick Knight is a knob, that was exactly where Kallis was intending to hit it.

Lol. Nass using the saffer pronounciation for the overseas market, clearly.
