I don’t remember if anyone mentioned about that during the drama, but it was pietersen who complained to Hair about the ball condition. Just read that in Kamran Abbasi’s article in Dawn.

Pietersen = White Guy = 100% Correct
Re: Kevin Pietersen complained about the ball condition
Shame on you Chietersen, we should take action against him as well.
He is an arrogant bastad and i won't be surprised if he really initiated the whole thing, What do you expect from a South African????
Re: Kevin Pietersen complained about the ball condition
time to kick him in the butt and steal his girlfriend. ******* has been with all the hot women (from Caprice to current girlfriend Jessica Taylor)
Re: Kevin Pietersen complained about the ball condition
he complained may be coz it was becoming f@#$@#4ing hard for him to play reverse swing he got out the the other ball anyway :)
Re: Kevin Pietersen complained about the ball condition
You need your eyes testing if you think they're hot. Lucky you dont play cricket for Pakistan..As is my usual analysis..you must be Indian.
Re: Kevin Pietersen complained about the ball condition
i dont think he complained... i think that's just a rumor. not to say that i like pieterson... he's still an ass (i.e. gadha)
from what i read in ramiz raja's article in the nation, it was apparently england's coach who told the umpires the day before to keep an eye on the reverse swing.
what bothers me the most is how england were celebrating their achievement of getting the ball to reverse during the ashes, and no one questioned the legitimacy of their bowling...
i think that's what it all comes down to in the end. pakistan deserve to have a stubborn attitude in this situation because it's not justified for us to always cave in to these white boys and their bureacracy.
also, i wanted to add that darryl hair is a stubborn bigot =)
Re: Kevin Pietersen complained about the ball condition
Assuming Pieterson did complain, he was in his right to do so. What makes anyone of u think that Pak batsmen cannot or will not do the same? Batsmen have the right to ask for ball to be examined. Anger displacement is not going to benefit any side.
Re: Kevin Pietersen complained about the ball condition
I like the way you swear then just smiley casually like this :)
Re: Kevin Pietersen complained about the ball condition
pieterson did complain if you look at the footage just before the ball gets changed ..pieterson talks to hair about something and then hair starts staring at the pakistanis rubbing the ball
Re: Kevin Pietersen complained about the ball condition
I remember how the English media was cursing Cristiano Ronaldo for getting Rooney kicked out of the World cup. If Pietersen did incite Darrel Hair, than this situation isn't any different.
Re: Kevin Pietersen complained about the ball condition
An ECB official, English coach,pietersen , all of them at different times told the umpires to keep an eye on Pakistani bowlers,which means they had already assumed that Pakistanis will be tempering with the ball,which means,that they think that Pakistanis are cheaters by nature.
