Cricket, lovely cricket.

The question is a simple one - if you were in charge of English cricket, would you have Kevin Pietersen in your team?  The argument is equally simple - he is a prodigious talent, well capable of winning a game on his own, but as is so often the case, a prodigious talent is accompanied by a prodigious ego, and he can be - and has been - a disruptive influence on and off the field.  But - so what?  We talk about a cricket team, but it has never seemed to me that cricket is really a team game in the way football and rugby are.  Whether batting, bowling or fielding you are very much your own man doing your own thing and thrown on your own devices.  So is it really that important that you all get along?  Andrew Strauss is on record as saying that it's all about "trust" but hasn't elaborated further.  Can't help but feel that this smacks of a personal vendetta between the two of them, and if it is, should this be allowed to stand in the way of England putting out their strongest team?  I'd have him in my side, warts and all - what about you?
