England's ODI averages since then go:

Shah: 47
Collingwood: 47
Bell: 46.5
Pietersen: 28

And then the guys like Cook, Bopara, Prior, Mustard and Trott who've been in and out of the side.

Looks like Pietersen is in for the chop then.

There's probably one or two on here who would!

Being a one-man batting line-up probably takes it's toll after a while.

But you'd have to say this run of fairly ordinary performances have come off the back of a World Cup in which he scored two hundreds and was head an shoulders above the rest of the England line-up.

So it's not exactly a crisis.
