“It is time to summon Kevin Pietersen, thank him for all he has done and instruct him to seek fresh pastures. It is clear that the current England team is made up of 10 men and one other.”
Michael Henderson explains why England should call time on KP’s international career, in December’s issue of The Cricketer.
Hi Michael,
What a load of rubbish! How can you call yourself a cricket journalist and write with such ignorance, you should be ashamed of yourself. KP is a great player who everyone should support and get behind 100%. I am so bored of articles claiming he is arrogant, selfish etc, change the script. If more England players had his self belief and drive English cricket would be better for it. A player of his style will always have dips in form and the worst thing to do is to drop him. He is still the most feared England batsman and his career will only fall short of greatness if people continue to criticise and try to undermine him. He could have been a good captain and only wanted the control, that ironically, was given to Strauss the moment he took over. He was brave to speak out about Moores and was treated terribly as a result. Any talk of dropping him comes from ignorance and this ‘he is not English’ rubbish. He has commited to England and so that argument should be buried along with all the other crap. He simply will finish his career as one of England’s best batsman of the modern era, way ahead of Ian Bell!! KP is a legend and everyone needs to believe.
I completely agree with Rufus, KP will always dip in and out of form, but when he does find it, the fielding side shake in their spikes.
Because he was out of form everyone wanted him out of the team, now he is batting well and against sri lanka was a class above everyone else on the pitch. Similar to Cook a few years ago. Everyone will be in and out of form but when he is in form he is class.
