Just bloody hope it makes the players to perform at the 3rd test and shows we can live without him. Great player but can see why many want him out of the team

He may be an arse, but he'd fit nicely into that misfiring top order

I thought this thread was going to be about nuts.

He should have thought about that before acting a total dick the last few years and losing total trust of the England setup.

Unless he can open in Tests , which he can't, not sure he'd get in anyway . Middle order isn't the problem

'look at me everyone, look at me! Over here! Me me me me!'

Sometimes it's very hard to tell why he was apparently so disliked by the team then, even now and again, it makes sense.

But he is not lying on the beach is he? He's pacing up and down his hotel suite checking how many re-tweets he's getting. Checking out all the websites to see how many front pages he is on.

Would rather lose next 3 without him than win with him. Clearly not being wanted is getting to him.

Just finished his autobiography and he comes across as a dick all the way through. Yes, he has little nuggets of probable truths regarding the ECB and the other players, but he comes across as being so hard done by all the time, nothing was ever his fault. Maybe it's a South African trait, don't know, but don't bother buying it.

The team has moved on, time to forget him. Bit of a waste really.

Other than one massive innings in division 2 against the worst bowling attack in the league, he has an appalling average in 4 day cricket in the last couple of years, and hasn't played any since May, preferring to whore himself around the world playing 20/20.

I would rather we give more youngsters a chance like we did with Root than go back to a self-promoting, egomaniac, opinionated twunt like KP.

Drop Lyth, open with Moeen, move Root to three and bring in Bairstow.

Can't help noticing he, and his 'supporters', were VERY quiet during (and after) the first test...

This sort of thing isn't going to help his cause, even if there WAS a chance of him getting back in. Has he conveniently forgotten the mistakes that he made when batting for England?

People/papers/pundits have very short memories and even shorter opinions it seems. A few weeks ago, English cricket was on it's way to the top with an Ashes victory; now it is at it's lowest ebb! In reality, I think it's somewhere in the middle - Lord's was a blip (albeit a big one), but the quality is there, Cardiff proved that.

Strauss has been shown up to be the dullard he truly is with his email asking for slow pitches as his means of countering the Aussies.

Is there really a story there?

Preparing pitches to suit has been part of cricket home field advantage for as long as I can remember and, I'm sure, long before that.

Preparing pitches to suit is one thing, but if in doing so it blunts your own team's attack (this was the first test match in 60 that Anderson failed to take a wicket) then it's dumb.
