About time! I was thinking of selling my tickets for the oval test but not now they've woke up.

I'm just hoping cook can keep scoring runs and hopefully some clear thinking can return to his captaincy.

I suspect Robson may be out if he doesn't find some runs soon, root or ballance to open with cook and Jason Roy to bat at 5
Roy, butler and stokes as the lower order will cause havoc!

Kinda embarrassed by this post. I suppose I could always go back and edit it but they sure have left me with egg on my face.

Hindsight...It's a wonderful gift if you have got it!

Well done, England, for tuning it around so dramatically.

Bump...So 4 months after my meal of humble pie, can I stick my head above the parapet and say, "FFS, get rid of Cook!"? How many chances does one man need. He's a busted flush, a useless captain and we might as well try Root who will give 100% for England.

The only person I know who has had more chances at reviving his professional career is Ravel Morrison, and it looks as if finally even he has run out of mugs to give him a job.

COOK OUT!

UPDATE: Lovely touch of irony from Gary Lineker ion Twitter. He tweeted: "I see @KP24 has been bashing it around. If England weren't in such fine form they could probably have used someone like him."


Fine form...Love it!

FYI: Pietersen scored 66 off 46 balls for the Melbourne Stars in his first innings in this year's Big Bash in Australia.

One decent knock in a year is not good enough to get any player selected, compare kp's form to that of Jason Roy and you see there's no pressure on the selectors to bring him back.


Any chance he had of playing for England again disappeared when his book came out

Cook should of gone after the last Ashes.
England will pay the price with the World Cup and the Ashes after it.

This is like flogging a dead horse.

Paul Downton will be needing to pack his bags as well next year.

But going on what has been going on since the Ashes, they will most probably just talk about 'what positives needs to be taken from the losses' ect.

Bit of a joke really.

I think KP knew that and didn't give a ****. If the poor pampered useless darlings cannot face the truth, they should never have read it!

See they replaced Cook with Eoin Morgan for the ODI side.
Move in the right direction.

And already people are giving him criticism, saying his record is worse than cooks and how have they come to that decision? but in my eyes he's a more rounded one day player who can and will win games

Another player out of form as well ........ But who else is there.
Don't know if we should be changing captains this close to a World Cup .
We will see

Bet you wish you'd never posted that, eh?

See Downton has been sacked. There's hope for KP yet!...In fact, if they'll give Trott a place on a tour, then anything's possible!
