KP averaged mid 40's last year and has just come back from injury, calling for his head is stupid, he is a class act.

I love the idiocy of England supporters.

Trott got 2, Pieterson also got 2, Strauss got 4 and so did Swann, and yet instead of blaming them all, good old England fans all jump on the "Blame Pieterson" bandwagon  ???

And then you have Finn, he gets smashed all over the place and is often the most expensive England bowler. And yet just because he gets a couple of wickets he is seen by some as one of our best bowlers... As a test match bowler you should be able to bowl line and length for large amounts of time, that is what we expect from all of our bowlers, and yet Finn somehow gets round this even though nearly half of his deliveries are absolute sh***..

Jimmy was missed bigtime today,
The 3 quicks couldnt have been more similar and Finn didnt look like Test Match bowler.

Have to say the team concerned me before a ball was bowled. No swing bower and although finn takes wickets they come at a price. This is now appearing to be a six or seven hundred pitch. Makes England's top order look rubbish...
