England’s snubbed maverick batsman Kevin Pietersen has lashed out with a series of angry tweets at England’s hierarchy, labelling his omission from the Ashes Test series as ‘ridiculous’.
England collapsed to 103 all out on the fourth afternoon falling to a 405-run loss with Australia levelling the series at 1-1 which brought sharp criticism from the UK media.
Batting as well as ever & the team have huge issues with top order! What a waste, just lying on a beach! I wish I could help! ??

Pool, pool or South Beach? My only decision I need to make today… #Miami https://t.co/feXTMhO1yq

Deep in thought right now…ridiculous that I'm lying on a beach when I should be in UK prepping for the 3rd Test! So silly really! Sad!

He then continued to describe the stalemate between himself and the England and Wales Cricket Board as “so, so, so, so silly”
Pietersen has his support, too, with Piers Morgan again weighing in:
REMINDER: Kevin Pietersen was England's top scorer in last Ashes series.
His reward? A lifetime ban.

Quite obvious now that we replaced KP with lesser players. Admit your mistake, Mr Cook & Mr Strauss, and put your country before petty ego.
