The article suggests he might have played his last game for England!!!!

[Vantage_Cricket]

He needs to man up just because he can't play T20 cricket for England. It's almost saying, pick me for that and I'll carry on my test career.

[PedalsMcgrew]

I never thought I'd say it but I'm actually getting bored of him now....

I'd be happy if he's played his last test, Taylor at number 4 or keep him at 6. Then bring in someone like Joe Root. I can only see that this would be a good thing for England

[steiner]

Agreed - just count the number of uses of "I, me, myself" etc in the quote in that article - tells you all you need to know.

England are going to be very average again. Don't make him the sole scapegoat.

I hope you're being sarcastic.

KP only plays for KP. He's not a team player. Personally, i think england may be better iff without him. I know he's a phenominal talent, but the team should be a group of people all pulling for one purpose. KP seems to want to pull in a different direction...

[Cover_Drive]

He is drama queen really.

[golders]

Accept KP for who he is- antagonise him and he will retire- but we do need him, that is the fact of the matter. He may be selfish in some respects, but I do believe he wants to play for England, so the ECB must find a way as to see him walk away from test cricket at 31 would be a real shame for cricket, not just England.

Although Cricket is a Team sport. It is very individual, imo.
Batting: Batsman versus Bowler
Bowling: Bowler Vs Batsman
Fielding: Normally 1 player chasing/ fielding a ball.

If this were the case New Zealand would be the best team in the world.

It was obvious that everything was frosty when his team mates politely applauded his hundred with minimal enthusiasm.

bullshit speculation story. If you want to see more of the pathetic stuff then go to the bleacher report and see the endless articles on "10 reasons why RVP will go", then 10 minutes later "10 reasons why RVP will stay". It will sort itself out but maybe they should write some more fairytales:-

1. Taylor played his last test (Ravi Bop back)
2. Ravi Bop played his last test (Taylor)
3. Tremlett played his last test (injury)
4. Bresnan played his last test (replaced by fit again Tremlett)
5. Finn played his last test (replaced with Onions)

and so on.

Personally I don't feel KP is what he used to be batting wise. Just seems hes not that appreciative of being selected to play for England and wants to have games when and if he fancies it. Much rather see another player replace him that shows appreciation of playing for is country.

All to many sports are becoming driven by greed for money rather than the pride of playing for your country.
