Strauss was a good captain I thought to be perfectly honest. Does this mean that KP is coming back now?

I think the fact that with Strauss out of the picture it may make it a little easier to bring KP back.However he's stabbed Strauss so if he returns Chef better watch his back.

KP's return depends on 2 issues,1 - can England trust him again.2 - can they offer him a new contract that he is prepared to fullfill & sign.

Much improved performance by New Zealand in the 2nd Test v India at Bangalore.A good toss to win NZ 328-6 Taylor 113 Guptill 53 Ojha 90-4.Van Wyk 63 not out Bracewell 30 not out.The 6th wicket partnership has so far reached 82 when bad light stopped play after 81.3 overs.

England have delayed their announcement of the Test squad to tour India.It was expected to be tomorrow.This has fuelled spectulation that they are still trying to resolved the KP situation.

Robert Croft finished his playing career today & went out on a winning note with a victory over Kent on his home ground.Always gave 100%, a top bloke.

The Pro 40 Final at Lords today saw Hampshire bt Warwickshire by virtue of losing fewer wickets (Hampshire 244-5 Warwickshire 244-7) Scores were level & Neil Carter playing in his last match failed to make contact with the final ball.

KP has not been picked for England tour of India this winter..

The Indian team must be wetting themselves at the prospect of playing against replacements Joe Root and Nick Compton

^ KP will be missed.But the whole batting line up with have to make up for his loss.Morgan & Bairstow are as close as your'll get to him in terms of dominating an attack.Root has to fill the boots of Strauss who,by his own admission wasn't getting big scores.Compton will more than likely replace Bell when he leaves the tour for the birth of his first child.

KP has sorted out his differences with the ECB...
He is now eligable to play when the England management want him to play.

Bob Willis says that it is his final chance and that he should have another word tattooed to his body 'TEAM'. Preferably on his head.
