Complete ****ing joke.

He's been a big reason for England cricket becoming a big draw again

He brings excitement. Now faced with the prospect of watching those emotionless idiots all summer again is slightly more depressing. I'm sure the Indian test series will be another whitewash.

****ing hell.

How to utterly compound a disastrous tour.

I think it is an incredibly disappointing decision, as Chris Gayle says, mainly for the fans. Scapegoating of the highest order, will be interesting to see if there is any backlash.

Pietersen has done so much for modern test cricket and has never received his dues.

[RichC]

It's all about personal agendas this for me. You simply don't get rid of your best player especially when the side is clearly in such a shoddy state!

Pat Murphy @patmurphybbc
KP's problem was that if he respected u as a player he'd do anything for you but if u were a coach/player he didn't rate that meant problems

Sad way to end a mavericks England Career .@KP24 will be missed...Would love to know what he does that is unmanageable !!??

Imagine the FA binning off Rooney. Jesus they are clueless.

[Buzzo]

That statement from Downton is complete bull****. He even mentions all the stats himself, based on those stats you don't 'sack' the player.

So give us the real reason.

[RichC]

Crazy isn't it.

If we get our arses handed to us by the Windies and India then there should be some heads rolling at the top.

[RichC]

Imagine the FA binning off Rooney. Jesus they are clueless.

Imagine going to the World Cup without your best player through choice!

Bob Willis been rolled out by SSN about the KP situation. Surprisingly (not) he's all for KP being removed from the England set up.

I love Bob but I totally disagree with him on this. As does pretty much everyone seemingly. Outrage on Twitter. ECB account is getting slaughtered.
