England in New Zealand 2012-13 : England omit Kevin Pietersen for New Zealand series | Cricket News | Global | ESPN Cricinfo
Not trying to deliberate on this issue, but this decision from the ecb pretty much proves KP's initial reasoning for wanting to retire from odi's, skip a few series was right.

BBC Radio 5 live - The Ashes, The Tuffers and Vaughan Cricket Show, Tufnell and Vaughan disagree on Pietersen's future
The Ashes 2013-14 : Kevin Pietersen future under scrutiny | Cricket News | Australia v England | ESPN Cricinfo
Time to dig this thread because there is big talk now in the last few days on BBC & skysports that KP could be made a scapegoat & be dropped after the Ashes.
Added to this its being revealed that since his "reintegration" ENG & Flower have kept him away from the team think tank & Flower is rumored to even be saying he would resign if KP was to get leadership responsibility in any post Ashes strategies.
This is total crap & one of the reasons why Flower has to go.

I'm beginning to think Vaughn is a bit of an idiot.
Such a shame as he brought the first ashes victory of my lifetime and I loved him for it, but I had to unfollow him on twitter.
I know he's craving celebrity to an extent, so i'm not sure how many of the things he says is just aiming for controversy and how many he genuinely believes.
I was excited about what he could bring to punditry, but quite frankly I'm incredibly disappointed.

Typical... The_Gas returns and he's here to sell something, knew there would be an alterior motive
I reckon Gas and Nixon have been secretly married for the last few years.
Incidentally i found Mr Nixon on twitter but decided not to contact him. I'll never forget that dashing picture of him on that boat. So much man, much sex appeal.

ECB: Kevin Pietersen disinterested in Sydney and had to go - Downton
Sounds like crap as usual for the ECB & its a MAJOR thing to say when i thought both sides were not going to talk until October according to some lawyers agreement.

England Cricket News: 'Unanimous feeling' against Kevin Pietersen - Paul Downton | ESPN Cricinfo
All blame is being shifted on KP and Carberry, their 2 best batsmen in the Ashes, and no one focuses on their captain "marvelous" Cook. Cook was shite that series, but no one focuses on that. I feel the whole mess was caused by Cook, Flower and the management.
----------
Why Onions is never picked is beyond me. He should be the 3rd seamer for England, considering his performances in the past 2 or 3 seasons. And his is batting is not Panesar-esque, either.

This is BS, really. Compton is a better batsman than Strauss and he will only continue to grow, yet he is being ignored.Paul Downton said:

In the last 2 or 3 years of Andrew's career, he was kept only for his leadership abilities and not for his batting. Other than 2 centuries against a mediocre West Indies, he was pretty poor.
WTF are you talking about? Strauss was shite as a captain and Cook is even worse then him.
