No RKT put up 3 years.. so i responded to that.. Whole ENgland team is not cut out for ODIs except Pietersen. Rest of the guys would have soem good days,, good patch.. thats it. this guy is a gun player to play dominating cricket.

You are comparing him in his worst patch with someone who are in their best patch. We could say Ashwin is better than Gambhir based on that .

its not about worst patch or not...he was in decline for last 3 years also lost interest now so why should it will be termed as a huge loss? he even ran away from WC...so commitment also in question

But.. he is good over the last 1 year.. last 1 year looks bad only when you club with previous 2 years.. Pietersen is the only naturally aggressive player they had after Treschothick. Now that he is gone.. they will be struggling even more.

Freelancing as a specialist T20 player is gonna get u big bucks. England will come up with a league sooner or later, India has one. Australia has one. Don't see any other country coughing up crazy sums, but u never know. They may even have a T20 league in America. Anyways three good leagues a year and ur bank balance jumps big time. T20 for the cash and the excitement and Tests for ur soul.....Sounds perfect to me

There's life after Pietersen - Gooch

"Kevin is a superb player for England in all forms of the game. He is a great entertainer," Gooch said. "He is a box-office player that excites the cricketing public not only in this country, but around the world. So before you ask me, is he going to be missed? Sure he is going to be missed. Any player who is capable of winning a match is going to be missed by a team. But he has to make his own decisions. He is the only one who would be able to give true insight into why he decided to retire from ODI cricket." "Life moves on, one door closes and another one opens. So you got to look at from the team point of view as an opportunity for someone else to make his mark, to represent his country, to win games for his country," he said. "I look it as an opportunity for another young player to grab that chance, to take that chance and achieve the highest honour of representing his country. I don't look back, I look forward."

Hasnt Gooch always been this no-nonsense kind? He was widely have been thought of as the man who drove Gower to his retirement, which I thought was a bit unfair. Gooch has always been a consummate professional and a strict disciplinarian. There was a great summation of this in one of Ian Botham's books where he mentioned how during one of the tournaments (92 WC perhaps), he was coming back to the hotel after a late night partying and down the stairs was darting Gooch going for his morning jog. That incident summed up two of the great and yet so different players of England.

Gooch can dream, but in reality KP is irreplaceable. They simply don't have that kind of talent coming through for LOI matches. Kieswetter is no where in the league of KP. Yes KP had a lean spell before centuries v Pak but he is a class act who can score big and quick against the best.
