Completely agree with you Dyson, he should have been dropped. It's frustrating to see him usually get so many starts and then throw it away.
He's the same as a lot of England players at the minute... ...he gets centuries against Bangladesh, West Indies etc (Bell, Cook, Bopara) and they're touted as superstars but can't cut it against the Aussies or other countires. Rob Key should be opening with Strauss. Pietersen to come in at 3 when fit, Collingwood/AN Other (!) 4 and one of Trott/Bopara/Bell at 5. It's like managing a football team this, piece of piss.
