My synthesis

Injured Kevin Pietersen has been named Friday in England’s 30-man preliminary squad for the Champions Trophy to be held in South Africa in September.
The 29-year-old underwent a surgery on his achilles tendon a few days ago and cannot be rushed, but England selectors hoped that the former England captain will be able to compete in the tournament.

The squad will be pruned to 15 by Aug 23, and that will give Pietersen a little more than four weeks’ time to prove his fitness.

The announcement follows concerns expressed by the head of the Professional Cricketers’ Association, Sean Morris, that players will increasingly be forced to pick and choose their international commitments.

Pietersen has already been ruled out of the Ashes – with the final Test due to begin Aug 20 – and he is considered doubtful for the subsequent one-day series.

Even if England are confident enough in Pietersen’s recovery to include him in their final 15, Pietersen will have little opportunity to regain form ahead of England’s opening Champions Trophy fixture against Sri Lanka September.

Three wicketkeepers Matt Prior, James Foster and Steve Davies are included, while Steve Harmison, who came out of one-day international retirement last summer, is also among prelims.

England batsman Jonathan Trott, who makes his debut in the fifth and final Ashes Test at The Oval, is convinced that he can withstand the crushing pressure of the series decider.

Trott further said that he will take inspiration from Kevin Pietersen, his one-time teenage rival in South Africa.

“I’m a lot calmer before I bat than I used to be. It will be interesting to see if I am nervous. But, I’m sure I’ll be fine. I’m just trying to keep things simple and, hopefully, I’ll be good enough and perform,” The Sun quoted Trott, as saying.”Any match in which you make your debut will be huge, but I’ve picked a good one, I think! I can’t wait to get down to The Oval and start training. I’m playing pretty well. I take a lot of confidence from my century last week,” he added.

Trott, a replacement for Ravi Bopara, would bat at No 4, and if he performs like KP did with his epic 158 at The Oval in 2005, he is up for winning over many of the skeptics.

Former England cricketer Ian Botham has said that in the last 24 hours, the incidents related to England cricket and its immediate future, are probably the most embarrassing that he has seen, both as a player and as a commentator on the sport.
In an article for the Sunday Mirror, Botham squarely blames the fiasco relating to the Pietersen-Moores disagreement on the “chinless wonders who rule Lord’’s from behind a desk”.
Accusing officials of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) of turning English cricket into “a laughing stock”, Botham says: “The events of the last 24 hours have been embarrassing, woeful and shameful.”
“It’’s the buffoons in blazers who are now on to their third England captain in five months. Clandestine meetings of men in suits. Smoke and mirrors in a committee room while another England captain is sacrificed on the altar of cloak-and-dagger politics behind the scenes. It’’s the faceless clowns who have had to sack an England coach who many people were surprised to see get the job in the first place,” Botham adds.
While he feels sorry for Pietersen, Botham says his decision to quit “reflects dreadfully on the people who do the hiring and firing at Lord’’s.”
Pietersen he says did not leak the story about his strained working relationship with coach Peter Moores.
Botham says: “And, I know he did not actually resign until he released his statement shortly before 5.30 p.m. last night – by which time he realised there was no point in carrying on as captain.What was the point of him staying in a job if he was expected to take a bullet for something he didn”t say?

Four England greats were inducted today into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame* at the tea interval of the second day of the fourth Ashes Test match between England and Australia at Headingley.

Ian Botham and Geoffrey Boycott, along with representatives of Fred Trueman and Wilfred Rhodes, were awarded their commemorative caps as part of the joint venture between the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations (FICA).

ICC President David Morgan presented caps to Boycott and Trueman’s widow, Veronica, while England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Chairman and ICC Director Giles Clarke presented caps to Botham and Yorkshire County Cricket Club Chairman Colin Graves, who accepted the honour on behalf of Rhodes.

Botham played 102 Tests, captaining his country in 12 of them, and amassed 5,200 runs and claiming 383 wickets at an average of 28.40. He played 116 One-Day Internationals taking 145 wickets at an average of 28.54 and scoring 2,113 runs.

My favorite running shoes are Asics Running Shoes, just as everyone else said, but they are not for everyone. There are different types of shoes for different types of runners. It all depends on how you move your feet when you run: do you pronate (turn your foot inward) or supinate (roll your foot outward)? How heavy are you? How often do you run? Are you prone to injury? These are all things to consider when selecting the appropriate running shoe.
The best thing to do is to go to a nearby running specialty store. A worker there should talk with you and watch you run and can recommend the right type of shoe for you. Good luck with your running.
In my opinion, Asics are some of the best to buy. They are very comfortable and they will really help you in support. I’ve been running track for Middle and High School and I’ve only worn Asics. You can find them at any major store or at any running store. But I would prefer a running store because they really care about you make sure you get the shoe that fits just right. Asics are relatively expensive, good trainers can cost upwards of 80 dollars. But that’s a small price to pay. Hope i helped.

I know an Asics Shoes online shop (http://www.asicscloset.com). In this shop you can get latest Men’s Asics Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Shoes and cheap Men’s Asics Onitsuka Tiger Mini Clubman Shoes. I like buying Asics shoes in this online shop. I do hope you can get something you like on this shop.

England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff says winning the Ashes is “like a dream” after the Aussies were sent packing in dramatic fashion.

“It’s an amazing feeling. I’m just trying to take it all in – I don’t know whether to laugh all cry. I don’t know what to do with myself,” he said.

There were emotional scenes on the field and in the stands as the England team and fans celebrated winning cricket’s most famous prize.

The 197-run win was especially sweet for England after the humiliating 5-0 thrashing in Australia in 2007.

“It’s a very special moment for us. It’s been a very, very tough week for all of us. You felt it was close, but the closer it got the tougher it got,” The Sun quoted captain Andrew Strauss as saying on England’s Ashes victory.A Buckingham Palace spokesman passed on congratulations from the Queen.
