Apart from the rather uninspiring signings, Arsenal have also shipped off multiple players, despite those footballers seemingly at the peak of their powers. And, while the payment of their stadium debt didn’t help their cause, they certainly didn’t cover themselves in glory when mitigating the mentioned factor....

While strikers and midfielders might take most of the glory and accolades due to their more advanced roles on the field but defenders play an almost equal role in the achievements of their team’s results....
All-rounders are worth their weight in gold in all formats of the game. They play a vital role by giving the side some much-needed balance and extra options if needed. Often in limited overs cricket, the fifth bowler becomes an area of concern for teams, and having one or two good all-rounders in the team can solve this problem.

The South African-born player made his debut for England in 2004 in an ODI against Zimbabwe. But it was the 2005 Ashes series that proved to be the launch pad for Pietersen’s career. Pietersen was a player, who was in the opposition’s face all the time. He was one England batsman, bowlers hated bowling at. However, after a poor Ashes series in 2013/14 Down Under, he was axed from the team and never returned as the differences between the right-hander and the England Cricket Board kept growing....
Most of those openers have been in the classical mould.
