Andrew Strauss needed to put his foot down straight away and put an end to this ridiculous saga. I hope he told him you can score triple centuries in your next 4 innings but you still ain't coming back.
Time to put Pietersen to bed once and for all and concentrate on moving forward and trying to sort out the England team. With the emphasis on team and not a bunch of self absorbed individuals.
So you dont think the team can be improved by someone who scores 1200 runs in 4 innings? Interesting point.
Don't be flippant, just emphasising how strongly Strauss probably feels about Pietersen not returning to the fold, as you well know!!
But we were talking about the good of the team, and now you are talking about personal grudges?
I don't think Strauss is a grudge holding type of guy, although we know he thinks Pietersen's a cu*t. I'm pretty confident that he is doing this because he thinks it will benefit the team in the long term.
