Re: Cricket

The ECB is full of people whose faces fit irrespective of ability. Like Geoff Boycott, KP's face doesn't fit and that's his main problem. Once again the messages sent out to him have been confused and some would say duplicitous but I don't suppose those at the top of English cricket will be in the least bit embarrassed by their behaviour. The fact that they'll happily pick someone like Trott who's clearly not up to it anymore and disregard Pietersen says a lot about them.

I used to think that enough poor performances and defeats would force change but the only change which seems to happen is one set of 'acceptable faces' being replaced by another. I reckon we could lose all the games against NZ and Australia and there'd be very little change at the top.
