KP has had an op on his troubled achilles and will be out for at least 6 weeks.
Quote:
"I hate missing matches for England and especially during an Ashes summer."
"Up until now the Achilles injury has been manageable but it recently reached the point where we needed to look at other options in terms of treatment.
"I was pleased with the previous course of treatment as it allowed me to take part in this Ashes series but unfortunately the injury has recently deteriorated.
"To leave a winning dressing-room at this time is heartbreaking but it wouldn't be fair to the team or myself to continue given the severity of the injury.
"I'll be supporting the team closely and wish them the best of luck as they look to build on the brilliant win at Lord's and reclaim the Ashes."

No loss, my opinion....Hasn't delivered lately and is far too up his own backside. Will have a think about who would come in to replace him. Young, skilful and hungry for fame and centuries would be good....

It will be Bell, so save your brain power.
Personally I'd have more sympathy if he hadn't started whining during the winter tour about missing home/being tired and then gone straight to the IPL. _________________ "The Guineas are too early - I found two dead polar bears on our gallops this week, annd a penguin nicked my scarf"

I don't know, averaged 38 so far this series even with silly dismissals and not getting going - would have fancied him to get a couple of decent knocks in the remaining tests.
I'd bring back Ian Bell, used to Edgbaston and hopefully being dropped will have spurred him on...

Fair comment, Millsy. When he's on form he is magisterial with the bat, but attitude is and has been a problem.
Looks like the vote is for Bell - but I have a sneaking feeling Robert Key (don't laugh) may be in consideration.

I don't think aunty Jen has a clue about who the next best batsman in English cricket might be....
I think Pietersen will be a big miss. He's a bit like Flintoff to the Australians, he's feared for his batting just like Flintoff is for his bowling. The Australian bowlers dont like bowling to him cos they know when he's in form he'll smash you all over the place. Its going to give them a massive lift in my opinion. Bell is a good replacement, but is very hit and miss at International level. _________________ 2008 Roll Of Honour (So Far....)

The only flaw in your statement is as highlighted. He's injured so no threat thus far.
I think a first choice England has KP in currently, however, if Bell is next in line then the decision is well timed as he'll be playing the test on his home ground.
If he fails then you have to question if he should be in the side and decide what alternative England have.
