They lost the number 1 spot in Test's because of KP? Bull**** even by your standards.

There's a difference between no being liked by team-mates (and obviously some of those you've named really needed to get on with their team-mates when they competed in individual sports) and being employed and paid very handsomely then breaking all sorts of moral and contractual obligations.
To attain the no.1 ranking takes years, not a couple of matches and KP contributed as much, if not more than anybody to get them there.

Unfortunately, losing it came down to one match in both and look at the teams Eng trotted out!

If you dont think that one of the best players in the world in those formats could've got them across the line then there isnt much hope for you

FYI, golf has team competitions, none of those guys were liked by the vast majority and all got picked every single time

Why?

Because winning golf is about getting the ball in the hole in the fewest shots not about who gets on with you

Where was this strict adherence to contractrual obligations when Strauss opted out of the Bangladesh tour?

Where was Endland's moral compass when Swann shafted team-mates in his autobiography?

It's a joke
