Kevin Pietersen: I'd love to play for England again... I want to win the World Cup and avenge Ashes debacle

Agreed. His tweets taking jibes at the team are undignified. But IMO he is still good enough to play for England and seeing their current form, he should be i the side.
He was wronged before and I was his supporter but after his comments I will never want him in my team if I was English fan .. Also has he scored any runs lately ?

Of course he is desperate - in fact he should be desperate to get back into the side.
Our guys throw hints like I am better than 20 year olds or was the best spinner in IPL, don't seem as desperate as KP was my point.

I think they can sort that out IF they want to. Not many....but its not as if many of the guys in the team are scoring heavily. Also, he is one of those players who can suddenly score a match/series changing innings - and England need that right now.

But has he even scored one hundred since being dropped ?

I don't know. But IMO he is not past his prime by any means - and this means he is good enough to play for this England team.

again you just cannot include him now if he has not even been able to play good knock in county cricket

He is not very modest .... anyways ...he could not do much 'work' with Delhi Daredevil youngsters.:winky: C'mon KP...keep things classy man...not like this.

Well he did not even playing any first class matches. you think he can just waltz in and play test cricket?
that is my problem with him..he is busy making fun of same team he wants to play in and has not even done anything to prove he can

even his t20 form has been patchy at best

Even at Surrey in the t20 he has been so and so. In this out and out English civil war nobody seems to be gaining. The seniors left in team england like Prior for eg are as good as gone.

Lol kp can dream on,there is no way England will take him back.he is not gonna make a comeback,England selectors Will chose other good players from the county rather than a player who is past it

:hysterical: 'I want KP in, and Cook out by lunch time.' Lol. Brian Moore barely got to talk.

Undoubtedly he was one of the top class England batsman of all time. However, he should realize that he is not the first cricketer on earth to be dropped on disciplinary grounds. Even Moniy was dropped after the urinating incident, Stokes not selected due to some incident this year when he was with Lions squad playing in Australia. KP has had hsitory of disruptive incidents with those who play with him. His kit was thrown away at Surrey, he has issues with both the coaches he played under (Moores and Andy), issues with both captains (Strauss and Cook). Even some of his county team members said that they did not like to play with him. Not that ECB authorities are saints, however, KP too is someone who has had issues with higher authorities as well as many team mates. ECB cannot and should not select coaches, players and captains only who KP prefers to play/work with. I doubt we would see him playing for England again. Although i rate him as a top class AT English batter, he also seems to be an attention seeker and is giving tweets, press interviews to give unwanted comments when his country's team needs support.

Kevin Pietersen just wants to keep his name in the public eye... if he really wanted to play for England, he wouldn't be sniping from the sidelines and sending sarcastic tweets article-2702450-1B211971000005DC-797_634x342.jpg Paul Newman: Kevin Pietersen is not playing four-day cricket for Surrey so how can he seriously believe he can play for England again? The sacking of Pietersen was absolutely the right decision for both non-cricketing and cricketing reasons and people would think more highly of him now if he did not stir up trouble and instead silenced his big-mouthed mate. Over and out: Kevin Pietersen was sacked by England following the Ashes whitewash Down Under Nasser Hussain: If Kevin really wants to play for England he should not be telling the selectors — he should be asking Surrey for some county matches, scoring hundreds and putting pressure on the hierarchy. But I think his moment has passed anyway. If we’re talking in terms of a new era and not having mental baggage from the Ashes defeat, Pietersen would be a backward step. I used to love watching him bat — but his time has gone. Michael Holding: I think Pietersen just wants to keep his name in the public eye. If you wanted to get back in the team, you wouldn’t be sniping from the sidelines and putting out sarcastic tweets. I think England managed him poorly and he could still do a job for them. But he has burned his bridges. Lawrence Booth: I think he must be confused. He said recently how much he was enjoying life out of the team. Now he says he wants to play for them. Yet his tweets do not suggest he’s rooting for England. He was a brilliant batsman, but even he stressed the importance of the new era going with youth. David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd: I’m very pleased he does. He was an edge-of-your-seat batsman. But he should be playing for Surrey in the County Championship, scoring 150 and shouting: ‘Here I am!’ If he wants to play for England again, he’s going about it in a very odd way.
