The problem with KP is also the best reason to keep him in the team
He thinks he can batter any bowler in the world to any part of any ground at any time he chooses, and has no concept of bedding in and maintaining his wicket. And he can. Sometimes.

I agree
however he does have some quite fundamental issues with his batting that he fails to address.

His declining test average cannot be ignored though.

Very true on both counts
Not exactly lining up to take his place though are they?

Well there is some truth in that, but the England A lot have some really good players coming along
like Bairstow, Butler, etc.

Coming along is one thing
Ready to fill the number 4 slot at KP's expense is another. Wouldn't mind seeing one or both of them blooded against the Windies mind

Oh I don't know.
I'm doing a pretty good job of ignoring it completely.
