Pietersen reign over after five months

What an unholy mess. Kevin Pietersen resigning, Peter Moores being forced to resign and English cricket imploding on itself - just in time, perfectly, for this years Ashes clash. If things were in a bad state before, they’re even worse now.

You can find out all the in-detail news on this latest fiasco from the Cricinfo experts at http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/england/content/current/story/385633.html.

Far be it from me to know what is best for English cricket but, in my humble opinion, for Pietersen to demand a change of coach and to declare that he wouldn’t tour the West Indies under the current management is farcical and childish. Moores may not be the world’s best coach but can it really be that difficult to play under him? One can only assume that there is something we are not being told about their relationship.

Where now for England? Back to Andrew Strauss as captain? Will KP play for England again? As always, thoughts and comments are encouraged.
