Gooch rules out shock replacement for KP

Gooch rules out shock replacement for KP

 Rain in Birmingham Andy Flower has enough time to consider replacing Kevin Pietersen in England one day team, but Graham Gooch believes that there are some strong candidates to partner Alastair Cook to the top of the order.
Pietersen was team's third test against West Indies Investec here, but his departure from England over 50 pages is a new opening pair is required for the three game series with the Windies, which begins next Saturday in Southampton.
Pietersen ended his one-day international career with back-to-back hundreds against Pakistan during the winter and batting coach Gooch suggested that the 32-year-old successor was already playing on the British radar, instead of unlimited support for home games batsman.

England team will be named next week as they prepare for a busy summer in limited overs cricket. After three matches and Twenty20 over 50 meetings with the West Indies, there are five-Day Internationals against Australia. Meet England, Scotland, 50-match between the second and third test against South Africa, to add five ODIS and three Twenty20 games against the Proteas.
"I'd say it would be someone who can work to find the opener," said Gooch. "I was always in favor of Kevin Pietersen opens the batting, because I always strive for the best player at the top of the order of one-day and Twenty20 cricket.
"Get your best players, give them all the shapes that make a difference. Voters will decide who is the best way forward and we have some exciting young players in the area.
"Craig Kiesewetter, Jonny Bairstow, James Taylor and Jos Buttler are lions around and one day team. No new names, but they are players I see England cricket in the coming years."
Before Pietersen was converted to open with Cook, England, was the preferred choice wicketkeeper-batsman for the new ball position, which means that Kiesewetter partner would return to his captain.
Bairstow has power strokeplay makes him a prospect, too, especially in the power play, when the field up. Steven Davies, England goalkeeper, was called up as cover for this test, when Matt Prior has developed an eye infection and he was an important part of its 40-county success last summer. Its county captain Rory Hamilton-Brown's presence in the early explosive devices.
There are also proposals for Edgbaston to Ian Bell, dropped from one day side after a poor test series against Pakistan, could be observed, although the top three Cook, Bell and Jonathan Trott apparent lack of momentum. If Bell would be reduced, it would probably be wiser to use it in the middle order.
Composition of the bowling attack is also exciting. Steve Finn, Tim
Bresnan, Stuart Broad looks best to set the pace attack, but Flower initiative Jimmy Anderson the rest of this test - six weeks before he is due to the red cricket ball to play again in England - suggests that the Lancashire player has a role as well.
Meanwhile, players and spectators in Birmingham today worry about washing out junk mail that has been going back 48 years to match.
Ashes match at Lord's in 1964 was the last time the first two days of testing in England, was destroyed.
Yesterday was the first day he left without a thrown ball that was made during the test in this country since 2007, meeting with the West Indies.
Last full day was lost in the game was also England at Edgbaston, the third day of the test against Australia three years ago.
