KP Haters

Not sure Afridi. There were a few posters who supported the ECB's stance of not allowing him to play.

Wondering if the Kiwi's changed their minds

Funny enough at the height of the KP in movement I didn't want him in as the batting was strong but now it has died down the batting has been average at best so maybe

I actually want to see KP in the England team.

He is box office.

I still hop he plays for England again but its looking more unlikely after the recent test series vs New Zealand.

I think there were more positives than negatives for England during the recent test series however KP would still be a magnificent player for England.

He brings Flair to a relatively boring side.

He is also one of the few Globally recognized players who is English.

He is huge in India (and that's not because Indians are short )

He brings Flair to the team. He would take the pressure off so many players, The media will be allover him, and players such as Moeen, Stokes etc... can get their heads down and concentrate on their game.

The pro's out weigh the cons imo

He's a superstar player who puts bums on seats. People come to watch him play cricket and when he's on form he's is freaking immense. I think if Balance and Bell have a poor ashes he has to replace on off them.

My top order would be - Cook, Lyth, Root, KP, Bell, Stokes.

He's not English.... But I'd have him in my team, Moeen can't bowl, bat or field? Why is he in the team..

You've got to love some of the English fans on here and their constant inconsistent nonsense about moeen. He almost was the sole reason why England got back into the test series vs India last year, after India went 1-0 up. Thankfully, most quality reporters and analyst have it spot on today in their articles - bell, root, balance, stokes and moeen are all massive concerns. No question about it.

Ravi has a blinder, everyone goes quiet. He plays poorly and is the sole reason England lose apparently. Who's the next victim? Ohh that's right, come on adil Rashid, your turn fella!

Of-course England team will benefit big time with KP's inclusion but Cookie n Uncle Strauss won't let that happen.. I will share later a great analysis regarding from another thread regarding KP saga.. Anywaz I gave 5 stars since KP has served England so well and still not considered english enough!

Proven that Cook is Strausses mistress, says Miss Cook it is either him or me. The logic on form should have been Pietersen, but there again Pietersen doesn't wave his hips as well.

@Lefty.. Just wanted to share great analysis regarding KP saga from another thread.

Probably not no. Time to move forward there are a number of bright and exiting players in county cricket
