Very saddened to see one of our most successful captains of all time retire from the game.

Re: Cricket
Although very unhappy with Kevin Pietersen behaviour Andrew Strauss says he was thinking about this decision long before the Pietersen fiasco blew up Shadow.

Re: Cricket
I am sure it helped make his mind up in the end, and it meant he finished his excellent career on a slight sour note.
I hope this doesn't mean Pietersen manages to wrangle his way back into the side.

Don't be surprised if Pietersen ends up being picked for the India tour as l suspect sooner rather then later the ECB come to some type of peace treaty with him.

James Anderson is the ninth England wicket to fall after they win the toss but struggle in the final one-day international against South Africa at Trent Bridge.

Re: Cricket
I'm not a fan pf cricket, however.... If what I've read about about Pietersen is even close to what he actually said then I think we should send him home. He's a plastic Briton anyway.

Pietersen has been disruptive where he has gone but England in the past have put up wth it on the basis of his runs,he he used to play for Nottinghamshire where he had his kit bag thrown from the dressing room window,he did not have a good reputation at Hampshire they were glad to see the back of him,and Surrey had to be paid by the ECB to take him but the contract says he will only play for Surrey until his England career is over.!
When Peter Moores became coach at England Pietersen led a revolt that made hm go and Andy Flower came in,I think he also hastened Andrew Strauss in his retirement, England should now let him move on and play IPL only as that is probably what he really wants,and England can rebuild without him.
The trouble is Pietersen has such a ego that he thinks he is bigger then the game sadly.
