Until the trust has been regained imho, that wont just be down to the ECB they players will have a bit to say on the matter it wont happen over night, I'll stick my neck out and say he wont make the T20 WC squad to be announced this weekend.


The BBC reporting he has made a public apology now.

No pressure but we HAVE to win this match.

Win the toss, bat to a 1,000 and declare, get them out (twice) job done.

I knew we'd let them off the hook

To be honest, a much better start than I'd have dreamed of. I'll take it

Ouch

From this point we need an average of 31 runs from everyone just to match the total.

Apparently KP was texting all series and using derogatory Afrikaans (sp?) Slang terms to describe Strauss.

That's bloody poor in my book, Jack Bannister on talk sport was seething about it.

He still hasn't apologised personally and has left the country.

No chance he makes the t20 squad, or plays for ENG whilst Strauss is captain.

It was mentioned this morning the texts advised the best way to get Strauss out.

Send him to the tower.

We need a couple of guys with ***** of steel to have a chance of winning this, the draw would be an achievement !!

Can't see KP getting back into the side after what he's been texting....calling ya captain a **** is one thing,tell the other team how to get him out is another.

Doesn't a draw mean they lose the no1 test team ranking.

Bopara out for a duck too

I can't see KP ever coming back from this to be honest. The most appalling breakdown in trust that you can imagine (apart from sleeping with your team mates wife but no-one would be stupid enough to do that......)

This is well and truly beyond us now

Have a listen to this

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...ey_21_08_2012/

48 mins to 61 mins

Michael Henderson of the Mail, what an odious creature.....

OK some of his points may carry a lot of truth but the way he puts them across you just want to slap the guy in the chops

KP should never play for England again, it really is that simple.
