ECB may call it a move "to look to the future and start to rebuild not only the team but also team ethic and philosophy" but we all know the decision to drop KP is mindless at the time when they needed him the most. Cook has been out of touch for some time now and Trott is not mentally strong. There has to be a person that holds the England team well and who better than KP? The decision came as a shock to me like everyone else particularly when Flower had faced the axe early on. I do not see ECB coming up with any satisfying reason for not considering who in cricinfo's terms is "one of their greatest-ever batsmen". There have been instances of pivotal players getting the boot and drop them after a rough patch but I do not see any good reason for KP to be dropped from the team, at least on form and more so because the team do not have too many experienced players in their ranks. This what I feel is the 'I am the boss' attitude from the ECB and it would only take the cricket in England on the darker side and the fans away from the game.
