But I think you've sacked everybody. Is there anyone left?

Who is your coach andwho is your starting XI?

KP is still one of the best T20 and One day bats that England has when he is in form and as much as youth is needed in a squad you can never overlook experience and who is to say that if KP and lets say Ali Cook were in the World Cup squad that it would not have been a different story. Your only as good as your last innings I know but so much experience is being left behind for at times under performing youth.

This will show how narrow minded the ECB and selectors really are if KP performs

If he really wanted to make his point he'd find a division one side to play for...

Possibly but love him or hate him he's putting his money where his mouth is

Makes no difference what division he's in - Moeen made all his runs in Div 2 and look at him now, whoever he ends up playing for (very likely Surrey) he just needs to make sure he scores a bag full of them!

would still be a bigger statement to do it taking on the very best.

why?

Cook?
Strauss?
Ali?
Finn?
Tredwell?
Anderson?

all are or have been div 2 players have they not?  I don't disagree that England should be pushing players to play div 1 rather than div 2 BUT you can't count that against him as it hasn't done anyone else any harm

England players very rarely play for their counties anyway (even those not contracted), so it doesn't make difference who they play for. Even if there was transfer system as in football, who in div 1 is going to buy an England player who has dropped down to div 2/or already playing there if they are only going to get a couple of games a season out of that player, at best.  TBH county cricket is irrelevant for KP, it doesn't matter whether he smashes div 1 or div 2, it's just ticking a box.
