Spent force?

[triggerhippy]

is he out now?

He seems to be giving lie to the adage that 'Class is permanent; form is temporary"..:o(

I wouldn't have him in the Surrey team, let alone England. Every time he plays for God's county, he is keeping a useful ENGLISH youngster out.

Well said,lesblue.

@lesblue

Interesting argument, but which part of England is Didier Drogba from?

[lesblue]

@tim123

If there was any chance of Drogba playing for England, my argument would be the same. The circumstances in cricket are different inasmuch as the county game is used in part as a springboard towards playing for the National side. Pietersen joined Surrey to help him with his form which was threatening to keep him out of the England side. The ploy hasn't worked, and with Surrey having a good crop of youngsters coming through the ranks, I would get rid now.

His average for England is still pretty good, isn't it?

[micmak]

Every time I see him the expression "I am English" comes to mind.
