I've never been a Kevin Pietersen fan, but appreciated what he brought to world cricket(unfortunately the wrong country...), but his sacking of pathetic.

The only world class batsman England have had in the last 10-15 years.

England's loss will be IPL/BBL/CT20/Ram Slam's gain.

👏👏👏 KP you've thrilled and you deserved a lot better.

wasn't the noises we were getting a couple of years back!

Except he's clearly settled his problems now. KP has caused constant problems that he's been unable to solve with nearly every team he's been with through his career.

Madness! Don't see any decent reason for this, especially in the absence of an appointed head coach. Also makes Giles look very 2 faced - only a month or so ago KP was a "million pound asset"

Do you think Giles had any real say?

Good thing England proposed not being relegated from a test cricket two division structure if it means that they are going to stick with this policy of not picking their best players

I don't know. I think there has to be something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about.

It's a huge decision to make, and presumably something to do with his disruptiveness and not his playing ability.

Moores, Strauss and now Flower (if rumours are to be believed). Perhaps the new management simply decided they can't (or shouldn't) put the effort to 'manage' him and want to work with more malleable players?

Anyone any idea what the shortlist of coaching applicants is?

My guesses are Flower really did make a him or me suggestion like KP did with Moores and the ECB decided to get rid of them both or KP insisted on playing in the full IPL season

On the other hand some of the top teams never agreed or got along in the dressing room but they played as a unit and gave everything.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a good comparison, egoistical, arrogant, supremely talented and a matchwinner but would he ever get dropped by Madrid?
The miserable old boys in the ECB might have got their own ego entangled in this mess. Its a bloody farce.

Morgan on twitter "I wonder if @MattPrior13 will now reveal what he said in England team meeting after Melbourne Test about Flower?" the proverbial may be about to hit the fan.
