236 against Yorkshire is infinitely more impressive.

Alex Gidman made 250 against Leicestershire last season and Jimmy Adams wasn't far off it.

In fairness you're incapable of making a proper argument

I presume the "against Yorkshire" bit completely went over your head?

Just saw what Strauss said nvm, this lot will get battered 7-0 by NZ and Aus. Whether Pietersen was playing or not, it won't be 7-0. Jesus. I think the way the whole KP thing has been handled had been terrible. But some of the reactions have just been stupid. Exaggeration, they'd lose with KP anyway but I'd rather see the best players play personally. Also what Stu was referring to was the fact that Colin Graves told KP if he scored runs in county cricket he would be considered, so massive u-turn on that. Combine that with the way Moores was sacked and it just looks like a shambles at the ECB. Бенне even if it was just Leicestershire its not like everyone scores 300 against them. This was supposedly the first 300 in county cricket since Carberry in 2011.

Ryan Nothing about the way Moores was sacked suggests a shambles, he should have gone. And I didn't say it's just easy as fuck to score a 300+ vs Leicestershire, just highlighting that a 250 against Yorkshire as Hales scored two weeks ago is far more impressive, yet because it's not KP is barely mentioned. Funny that.

Funny that. Flies back from Barbados to take charge of the team in an ODI vs Ireland whilst Sky Sports are covering it live and say that Strauss is taking on the new ECB role and will remove Moores from his post. That's a shambles.

ECB are a complete shambles. The way they handled the situation with Moores was disgraceful and this is too. If you don't trust someone enough to play them why the fuck would you offer them a odi advisory role? All this has done is make Strauss looks petty.
The whole building for the future argument is bollocks too, if that was the case why bother playing Jimmy. We should pick the best players available and whether he's a cunt or not KP is a fantastic batter who wins you games, which is what we desperately need right now.
