Were England right to drop Kevin Pieterson?

indeed, and to be fair he had already pulled out of the 50 overs and 20/20 as he wanted to play in the ipl.. until he realised that he needs England just as much for his profile and endorsements.

Best getting shot of the fooker for good imo. Bring in some English youth like Root.

Got to hand it to SA for a great production line - not so good for up and coming English cricketers.

I work with a middle-aged saffer lady. They tend to follow sport.

She says Pieterson is a great player but he has a rep as a "Thick W****r" and she agrees.

Which shocked me slightly, coming from her.

I dunno, Bairstow did OK in Pieterson's place.

Very true - a fine prospect indeed. However, according to the OracleSlave, we've picked another SA boy for the T20s.
