Well now. Kevin Pietersen resigned, Peter Moores gone too.

We really have got ourselves in a right mess, haven't we?

England couldn't have gone too long without the odd hiccup now and again, right?

I'm not sure this will be as apocalyptic as some think. The Pietersen/Moores partnership wasn't working well, and better the bustup happened now than right before the Ashes series. Now Andrew Strauss (who I don't think will be bad as captain) and the new coach, probably Andy Flower, will have a relatively untroubling trip through the Caribbean to get things worked out.

I can't say I'm confident about the likely new setup, but it could have been worse: reports originally stated that Pietersen was not going to tour WI, which certainly wouldn't have helped him over the summer. And it's not as if Australia isn't in a mess right now too.
