'Extraordinarily petty and immature'
Twitter reaction to the news that there will be no quick comeback to the England team for Kevin Pietersen
"I don't trust @KP24 enough for him to play for England but I trust him enough to advise me on ODI cricket" #strausslogic .

I see the head boy is making English cricket the laughing stock again! #StraussLogic

Congratulations @KP24 on a fantastic innings. Only spoilt by Strauss & Tom Harrison. Keep your chin up and keep scoring runs! #KPForEngland

Read that my old mate Strauss has said KP won't play for Eng, but offered him an advisory role to help Eng ? What the ? Serious ? #shambles

If Strauss wanted instant public acceptance & the whole country to support Eng again, he should have said, "I want KP back in the team" !!!

I have no agenda in this , I thought If @KP24 was to play again he should fight his way back in which he has , as for personality he can ..

Be high maintenance then again so was I , but you do grow up and change . I wish I had the chance to play in my mid 30's reckon I'd have...

Have been better ! Like all other fans I'm intrigued to know the reasons building for the future is lame . Only then will this be put to bed

I see Mr Strauss has allowed personal grievance to influence his decisions. Seems extraordinarily petty and immature. Doesn't bode well.

It was never about KP's ability as a batsman, so why should the 326 n.o change anything?
