Strauss

[Durham Fox]

To resign this morning as its key to KP coming back. WTF!

 

[Lako42]

Shambles

 

[Notsport2]

If true there are multiple factors to consider:

Age
Current form of himself and team
Losing the number 1 test ranking
Pietersen issue
Conservative tactics that didn't work against South Africa

No way should Strauss make way so KP can return, there is no doubting his ability but as a personality he is a disruptive and negative influence in the dressing room. For me I hope the ECB and new captain are brave enough to call time on KP's England career.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Lots of news feeds saying that he is retiring from ALL forms of cricket

 

[Durham Fox]

He is.

 

[Redditch Fox]

If true there are multiple factors to consider:

Age
Current form of himself and team
Losing the number 1 test ranking
Pietersen issue
Conservative tactics that didn't work against South Africa

And probably other career path opportunities.

I guess he saw it was all down hill from this point.

To be honest I wouldn't crosss the road to watch him bat......but he scored a hell of a lot of runs and lots of centuries.
