Hello Nasie, love nearly all of what you say generally, but my opinion on this one

is KP is the prize wicket, intensity levels of the opponents go to a different level upon his arrival at the crease. If he gets out the groans around the ground are loud & the opponents celebrate as if that;s the match winning wicket. I go to the cricket and I want to watch KP not Trotty or Cook but KP he excites. He has just come back off a serious knee injury and has had little time in the middle before being thrust into an Ashes battle, but at Trent Bridge KP played a very un KP innings and battled his way to a 2nd innings score of 64 a very unselfish team innings. An innings that in the context of the game was a vital innings almost a match winning innings. So I say stick with KP he will make contributions and probably win us at least 1 test this summer.
