Not put his hat in the ring for the labour leader then.

Bring this guy back. He is the only chance of giving the Aussies a game this summer.

I don't care if people don't like him, when watching him play it's a joy to watch.

Who would rather watch a Cook, a slow but tedious innings compared to the flamboyant KP?

His averages compare to the greats in the game, though the establishment may want the likes of Balance, Carberry etc to play this summer.

Can't do without him. Trott has just quit and there's no one better to fill the gap against the Ozzies.

Strauss hates him...move on.

What we need is the more yorkshire boys. We play proper cricket, rather than you soft shandy drinking, blouse wearing poofs!

Bradman was not popular but they never dropped him. Its an individual sport in a team game format is cricket. Botham and Boycott couldnt stand each other and well Fred Trueman had all the people skills of a.. yorkshireman. Is KP a pillock? Tats not the question. All the coach has to do is pick the best eleven individuals and tell them to grow up. You dont pick a batsman or a bowler because he is a nice bloke, you pick him because he is better than someone else.

This...regardless of the self-centred arrogance of the chap. Genius with the bat.

I went to Luke Wright's benefit year pre ashes dinner last week, where Prior and Freddie did some speaking with Henry Blofeld. Prior basically called KP a talent, but said he was a complete c&&t. Prior then reeled off how KP's earnings are down 75%, his endorsements, his IPL contract, it was all a bit much....Freddie then got the mic and said "bloody hell Matty, do you think its about time you let it go mate!?".

Prior lacks a bit of humour for after dinner speaking, but it was clear how deep the ill feeling toward KP runs.

The future does not look bright. The captain calling the Director of the ECB ' Straussy ' and the Director calling our No 4 Batsman c***.

Piers Morgan on talk sport was claiming he has a meeting tonight with Strauss, he claims it was to tell him he will never play for England again.

One way or another there needs to be a line drawn under it and move on

When did Piers Morgan play for England in the first place? ???
