England's Summer of Cricket against Sri Lanka and India

[RichC]

I'd almost forgotten about Swann, he'll be a huge loss for us and someone I've no idea how or with who we'll be able to replace him.

I still struggle to comprehend the decision to axe our best player from the national side, it makes absolutely no sense at all to me and as if our performance is as I expect and pretty average something that is going to be brought up time and again this Summer.

Swann is irreplaceable.

George Dobelle has said while we put in average performancea he won't let the kp issue lie.

It's also having the lack of gumption to give players like Buttler and Stokes a chance.

Go on KP

“@JohnSunCricket: EXCL - Kevin Pietersen so upset with England treatment that he has returned his 100th Test gifts
https://Visit www.contrast.org/hills...and-gifts.html …”

Kevin Pietersen @KP24
LIES from @JohnSunCricket this morning! Who briefs you, John? Care 2 check ur facts instead of misleading the public?

Kevin Pietersen @KP24
“@JeffHervel: @KP24 @JohnSunCricket How stupid do you feel now eh John? #Plank” Tell us, John?

Kevin Pietersen @KP24
1/2 @JohnSunCricket it's highly irresponsible journalism. Next time before you print LIES, check your facts!

Kevin Pietersen @KP24
2/2 @JohnSunCricket whoever is briefing the cricket press has an agenda...aren't you intelligent enough to have realised that by now?

John Etheridge @JohnSunCricket
@KP24 Was told categorically at Lord's yesterday that gifts were returned and in ECB offices. Weird - will investigate. Can only apologise.

[RichC]

Good on you KP.

[Alex]

Who cares about the KP thing now. Test cricket is back

Tests all day, World Cup at night

[captainfog]

If we don't score 400 this innings then there really is no hope. Sounds like glorious conditions to be out in the middle.

[Zapater]

Robson gone, drawn into playing at and edging a wide one. Good bowling.

Regarding that picture Alex, that just reminded me of a couple of years ago, I went on an interview at Investec, and they asked me what I thought the zebra symbolises. I was highly stumped.

Cook gone now. 2 wickets down in 31 minutes on a reasonable pitch.

Who ever saw this coming

The pressure on Cook goes up a notch.

[RichC]

Outstanding effort so far

I would have gotten up and walked out.

What did you say - something about everything being black and white? What a load of bull****.

[RichC]

They're a client of mine I've no idea what it's supposed to symbolise either
