It looks as if Pietersen was going to be pushed anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if that was what was behind the 'resignation'.

ECB is clueless .. if they had appointed a half decent coach instead of Steve McLaren alike Peter Moores this would never have happened ...
If England lose Pietersen as a result of this we will be crapper than ever!!

So the word is Pietersen said it's him or me and, quite rightly, the ECB told him to get fucked and they won't be dictated to.
Strauss, now in form again, is the man for the job anyway, let KP concentrate on being the best batsman in the world. If he quits altogether because of this then he can go pivot anyway.

I thought that Pietersen's reign would end in tears but not this soon and not because of this.
As long as Pietersen keeps playing, this could be a blessing in disguise.

I'd agree with that. However, PR wise at least, English Cricket seems to be engaged in not so much shooting itself in the foot as picking up a fully loaded machine gun and letting rip at itself.

What we need is a Captain who isn't afraid to chuck the ball to KP and say "son, go and get me a wicket". That's what will win us the Ashes
