I reckon Cook has threatened a massive tantrum should KP come back and Strauss isn't inclined to argue because he's also got sand in his vagina.

I also reckon there are pretty major trust issues - why should KP trust the ECB?
He got told that he'd get considered in merit if he withdrew from his lucrative IPL runs and scored runs for Surrey. He has.
It's now obvious that the ECB never intended to act in good faith and were blatantly leading him on
Utterly bizarre. Them doing it on the day he scored a triple makes it just so gloriously English.

For sure. It's a jarring lack of self-awareness from Strauss and whoever has advised him.
He's talking as though his organisation doesn't have a shitload of black marks against their name.
It's less than a week since they absolutely shafted Peter Moores and he's trying to take the high road talking about trust. It's staggering.
I think Graves might have meant it. But he has been overruled.
And they probably didn't expect him to actually come back and smash 350. That was bad timing for them.

England deserve to be humiliated for their stupidity, pettiness and hypocrisy.

I still think we will beat England 5-0 with or without KP (weather permitting) but at least KP will help make it a bit of a contest.

I'm not sure what sand in one's vagina means but it doesn't sound like a great place to be

You've only won 1 test match in England in a decade. You'll be favourites but 5-0 is highly unlikely .

True but England are at the lowest they have been in a decade. England haven't been in this much disarray since pre 2005. Whereas I think Australia now has it's best side we have had since 06-07.

We are certainly the best placed we have been for an away Ashes series since 2005

Its the worst lineup since the 90s ,but I honestly cant see us getting cleaned up 5-0. When we went down under we just couldnt handle the pace barrage on the bouncy decks . The conditions this summer will be swing and spin bowling.
Why?
And if he's such a shitty influence - why ask him to be the ODI adviser?
Did KP draw them a series against the mediocre Windies?

I thought now would have been an appropriate time to admit wrong and reinstate the form county cricketer desperate to play again, but, as déjà vu hits, Engalnd have sealed their own fate at the selection table. Their squad is vanilla stacked on vanilla, with the exception of Buttler, aloi and stokes, and their top order is desperate for a bonafide a grade batsman.
KP could bring life back to cricket in England. It's embarrassing to see how close minded this decision is.

I like that this is so bad that even Agnew, a regular ECB apologist, is against it.

Apparently Strauss is getting a free run this summer and results "dont matter" . How ridiculous is that?
writing off an Ashes campaign and ripping off the fans who bought tickets. I've got no time for that and prob wont be watching.

The decision to give him an advisory role is close to the dumbest thing I ever seen. From a long way away it looks as though its designed to make the ECB look like reasonable chaps who don't hold a grudge.
If you decide a guy is campaigner and don't want him around, stick by it.
