Considering none of us are party to many of the true facts in this case then that's all we've got. Doesn't stop you forming prejudices and opinions, it's human nature.

I think the pro KP camp holds the majority, and a considerably larger one than the current Conservative government.

The pro KP camp may be forced to re-consider their thoughts when team England triumph in the ashes ;-)

I think most people will settle for KP not getting back in as long as Cook goes.

I reckon most of the Pro Kp Camp are thinking more of this lines.
https://jackvittles.wordpress.com/2015/ ... standards/

Most just want the best team selected and don't give a crap about the right kind of person in the team.

So many signs of players not getting picked because their face doesn't fit or what ever.

Remember Sky were discussing that Fletcher should ask the selectors what more he could do to get into the ODI team and I was thinking nothing considering he won't be picked because of bad batting/fielding skills and being overweight.

Not that I am saying Fletcher should be picked, not sure he done enough to get picked but he getting close.
But ECB have generally been two faced and picky in giving people chances or dropping them.

Don't mind admitting I've done some speculating on this subject Hope. But what I've posted today is well known. Not even the ECB can deny any of this.

But, of course they could.

This is a pro KP board. news organisation polls run at 80% in favour of Kevin, after this latest bungle. This site has more anti KPs than pros.

We did win the ashes, and with ease. Not sure this bonding session had much to with it, mind.

My sympathies lie more with KP than the ECB but my overall attitude is that I'm sick of reading the same old same old stuff on this subject.
Human relationships are complex and when they take place in enclosed spaces ( i.e. a dressing room) they are doubly complex. Views expressed by different individuals to the same event are like Einstein's theory of relativity, they depend on where you are positioned in relation to what's going on before your eyes.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.
