Someone has suggested in a tweet to KP that he was wasting his time playing for Surrey now Strauss is in the ECB set up.


KP's reply -


Hopefully he puts personal feelings aside & does what's right for English cricket...he has HUGE responsibility now!

The right thing being, telling KP we've had enough of the circus.

id love to know where KP thinks he would bat

unless he plans on opening the batting there is zero chance of him getting in the team

the only way he gets in is if he becomes a 90mph seamer or becomes the new graeme swann

Could bat in the middle order if we don't select an all-rounder.

Not the best week for Strauss to begin his new job.

I wonder if his job description was to "...fend off all questions about KP so that the rest of us (at the ECB) don''t have to".

If the summer goes poorly, strange things will happen. On merit, he should be next in line for an injury. But of course, merit isn't necessarily the driver on this.
