Player power harms English cricket
England batted reasonably to make 318 in the first innings but were heavily reliant on Pietersen's 97 with the supporting role of Andrew Flintoff (43) and Matt Prior (64).
But they did struggle in the bowling department and allowed West Indies to take a vital first innings lead, something that decided the outcome of the match eventually.

While the form of Steve Harmison, Stuart Broad and Ryan Sidebottom has been erratic of late, Flintoff, England's most reliable bowler, has not been able to bowl the opposition out in recent times.
