Does he need the hassle of test cricket now?
As much as i have enjoyed watching him bat, you do sometimes wonder if if his heart is in it. i mean he came over to further himself from SA, he's done virtually everything (won the ashes, won a world cup etc) and the money is now simply in being a twenty twenty mercenary aka Pollard.
If he was serious about Test cricket, he would play some county cricket and get in the habit of batting for long periods etc.
He doenst need the hassle / effort of playing tests. Dont get me wrong i think a firing KP is the most destructive batsmen in the world and would love him to do it for England, however he has other things on his mind / plate.
KP needs to stop thinking and just hit it, Which is why I think KP as he is, prefers & plays better in the shorter format of the game.
Its a shame as i do think he could have been a "great", not just a good batsmen...
