I am staggered that KP’s batting record is being called into question – a man with 7000 test runs in 88 matches
With an Average of 50
His behaviour yes, character certainly, but not his Batting.
The only problem with KPs batting is his attitude. There are times when all that is needed is a little application rather than wham bam.With an Average of 50

Nature of the beast. At least you know what you get. No surprises there and no complaints from over here. He can be exhilarating and special to watch, when he is in the mood.Having said all that, what's going to happen in the game? Am tempted to head down to Lords for teh Saturday.
We've avoided the follow on.
It does seem that it's the new ball that's taking the wickets and once it's 30 or so overs old it's much easier, however that could also be as much due to the humidity burning off by mid afternoon or both sides batting poorly at the start of the innings.
Fingers crossed we keep batting for a goodly while.

You watching Sky Deej? They showed Trott's avg for the last four years... something like 55, 68, 48, 38.
Not on my pc so cba to dig into stats guru, wonder how Strauss's compares.

I suspect we'd need to look at the combined effect of Strauss, Trott and Cook. Between them they've put on a lot of runs, followed by some destruction by KP, a steadying of the ship from Bell and the tail reliably adding a lot of runs.
My gut feel is that it's the tail that the stats would show have deteriorated most.
