Don't do it KP!

As a test cricket fan, I'll be gutted if he retires.

As good as he is, and as much as I like watching him play, I can't be doing with this continual 'I may or may not retire' stuff. Anyone, including him, should be busting a gut to play for their country whenever they're asked in whatever form of the game. If he isn't that bothered, then let him go and get someone else who actually wants to play.

Completely agree. Clearly sees himself as bigger than the team. Tell him to sling his hook.

I'm not sure, he clearly loves playing test cricket for England, but there are issues. We already know that KP isn't afraid to make bold politically charged decisions. I hope he sorts it out with the ECB and continues to play, because test cricket needs player like him.

I don't think KP plays for anyone but KP. There are clearly issues between him and the management but they arise out of the fact that he signed a contract, received barrowloads of money for doing so and now thinks he shouldn't have to honour it. I love watching him but he can't be allowed to get away with it.

He will be missed and I hope he doesn't pack it in.He was only talking the other day of wanting to reach 10,000 test runs
