England's decision to end Kevin
Pietersen's international career is still shrouded in confusion after national
selector James Whitaker refused to divulge the reasons for it.
Whitaker would only say it was time
to "rebuild" and "reignite the passion" amongst the England
players following a disastrous Ashes tour.
Indicating there were legal
restrictions in place, Whitaker said: "We are in a precarious situation in
terms of what we can say."
This line about there are legal constraints so I can’t say anything is bulls**t, what it really means is there is no justification for us dropping Pietersen but rather than admit that and make ourselves look bad we’ll have the lawyers draw up some bogus agreement that nobody can say anything and that way we don’t have to explain ourselves.
In principal that doesn’t sound too bad, but what Whitaker and co. don’t seem to be aware of is that the questions won’t relent until somebody does offer some explanations, even if it is years later and they'll look just as stupid then as they do now.
