Even if KP does return, I think it will hurt the team more than improve it. Yes, we may get a few more runs in the middle order from one particular batsman, but I struggle to see how this whole fiasco will simply be forgiven and forgotten by all concerned, and I therefore feel it will be difficult for anyone to bat with him. I, for one, would hate batting with someone who I don't like or trust. It would affect my concentration. I don't think the running between the wickets would be especially crisp either. There's bad blood here, and batting with KP will surely be tough for every England batsman. Let's face it, it was hard enough before all this, but if he had any friends left in the team, they've certainly all gone now...
