Pietersen To Miss Rest Of Ashes

---

The news wasn't exactly a surprise, but there was still an element of shock attached to the revelation that Kevin Pietersen will miss the next six weeks, and the remainder of the Ashes series, following surgery on his right Achilles tendon.

Considering the lack of impact KP has had on the series so far, this is far less a blow than losing Flintoff would've been. But when KP is on song like he was in the first innings of Cardiff until the brain explosion, he can dominate and impose his presence. Ian Bell not so much. So yes, I think that will lift the Aussies - hopefully Punter will be more positive in his tactics with Bell at the wicket rather than immediately scattering the field like he did with KP.

I'd much rather lose Flintoff - as I say, he hasn't played like he did at Lord's for a long time, and his batting is unreliable - we've quite possibly seen the best of him this series. KP on the other hand was no where near his best and still wound up our third top scorer. Results over the last few years suggest we can do without Freddie, but KP is our best player by miles and we really struggle without him.

England were dealt a huge blow earlier this week when it was announced that their star player Kevin Pietersen has been ruled out of the rest of this years Ashes series due to an an Achilles injury that he sustained earlier in the year.

Pietersen will be badly missed by England, the middle order batsman scored a sublime 158 on the last day of the 5th Ashes Series in 2005, that innings helped England secure a draw at the Oval and reclaim the Ashes for the first time in 16 years.

Pietersen is renowned for playing a positive brand of Cricket this makes him one of the most feared and respected batsmen in world cricket.

While England will be disappointed that Pietersen can play no further part in this year’s Ashes campaign, it is the hosts who are sitting pretty as of now, with a 1-0 lead after their comprehensive 115 run victory, in the 2nd Test Match.

Didn't this galah bail out of the Ashes last time? They were about 3-0 down then - does he know the result already?

I'd pick Flintoff just for his bowling, but his batting resembles a man who just isn't interested in grinding it out anymore. All his dismissals in the series have just shown that he doesn't have the patience or motivation for Test batting (That maybe because he's already announced his retirement or might in part even have caused it, that will remain a question) and that's probably why hes got out playing outside outside off.

KP despite his brain explosions is still as huge a loss for England as Brett Lee is to Australia, and Ian Bell will be targeted no doubt - hes just lucky Warnie isn't there anymore.

Pietersen hasn't missed a Test since he made his debut in 2005 - that's 54 in a row. When he's been missing for one day matches England have shown just how much they rely on him. There's no doubt in my mind that he's our best player, and suddenly I'm worried about the rest of the series...

KP will b miss for sure by england.. He scored some good 30s n 40s. in this series.. with this injury...n played a good knock b4 he got out stupidly by playing pre meditated sweep shot..though point is . Scored some runs with injury is still a good effort

BELL has been in gr8 form in county circuit and a good replacement for KP..n with his real Test match attitude n compact batting style.. i hope he score runs in this series :)
