    If we're just looking at batting averages from the last series, only Ben Stokes would be playing.

    Bairstow - 12.25
    Ballance - 12.50
    Cook - 24.60
    Bell - 26.11
    Root - 27.42
    Carberry - 28.10
    Pietersen - 29.40
    Stokes - 34.87

    If you can't manage someone, then make it clear that the reason they aren't playing any more is because the captain and coach cannot manage them.

      This, and let's not forget that previous captains and coaches have managed him quite well.

        Tell that to Jason Gallian

        The breaking point for Pietersen came on the last day of last season when the Notts captain Jason Gallian allegedly threw his kit from the balcony and broke his bat before tossing it on to the Trent Bridge turf.
        That said, Michael Vaughan said he had no problem with him when he was captain, during which time Pietersen scored arguably the most important century in English cricket in the 21st century.

          The captain messed up there and had a tantrum. Giving someone a right good bollocking is one thing, and sometimes necessary, but losing it and chucking kit around is no good at all; it shows the captain as weak.
