    Maybe Straussy has pulled a master stroke here?.
    If England beat NZ and Oz then he will be hailed.However, i still believe that England would be a stronger side with KP in than not in the team.

    Hales has just hit six 6's in six balls!

    Just watched the repeat. Absolutely brilliant. Everyone knows I'm a huge fan of Hales. I find it incredible that a player this talented has taken so long to get into the England setup. Shocking really. That said, I think he'll get a decent run in the 1 day team now. Hopefully he can force his way into the test team too

    Patrick Collins, at Bromley last night, may allegedly have described Pietersen, as obnoxious and he wouldn't have him anywhere near the England team ever again (allegedly).

    I actually quite like the bloke. Don't know if I've indicated that previously.

    I don't like to advance book, Tests in May. We went to a Lords game v WI a couple of years ago and it was freezing.

    Black cloud overhead all day long. Mind you it didn't stop my mate getting sunburn on the top of his bald head.

    Bizarre.

    A bit. But we need some variation and Stokes and Jordan are too similar.

    England 12-0

    We have seven left handers in the side by my reckoning. That must be a record for us isn't it?

    And one of them, Lyth, has just been given out caught behind.

    The faintest of nicks. Hotspot didn't even pick it up, although a slight murmur on snicko.
