from where did England dig this guy out from…
one day average of 147.33 from 8 innings (5 not outs)…
thats 2 hundreds and two fifties…
and a strike rate of almost 100…
i thought strauss was going to be a shocker but this guy makes strauss look small even…
Re: Pietersen…
He is a south African migrated to England. A simply brilliant Batsman. World has lot to see from this guy. Everytime he goes on to bat he faces abuses from spectator and chant of “Traitor” and then he blasts the bowler. Amazing thing is that he bats so low down the order and still scored two 100s in 9 innings. Watch out AUS during Ashes.
Re: Pietersen....

its going to be a good tour.. me looks towards it.. and india vs pakistan series :)
Re: Pietersen…
don’t worry, we will reply with Razzaq, Afridi and Shoaib Malik :insha: :k:
Re: Pietersen....
dont get hyped up bhai he is just a good batsman and he has many flaws, S. A is currently simply looking to win thats all, I have seen both of his centuries in S. A ODI's you need to work on him (backfoot) and corridor of offside. I mean it trust me.
As for his tour in S. A, he had somthing to prove coz he belongs to S. A and finally ended up playing in England which itself speak for S. A selection (blindness).
Re: Pietersen....
he's made a tremendous start to his england career + he like freddie hits the ball so hard and crisply man that 2 with a light bat. he has a english mother, mved to england four years ago as opportunites for him getting into the SA national side were limited due to their stirct but absurd selection policices. so he's played county cricket in england for nottinghamshire now @ hampshire i think and has spanked many bowlers in these last 4 years. he was then spotted and was picked to join up with the academy and since then hallelujah.
imagine a full fit freddie and pietersen in the same side cometh the aussies in june. hmmm
Re: Pietersen....
and another hundred from the man....
so thats 9 innings, 3 hundreds and 2 fifties....
any count of how many SIXES he has got already????
Re: Pietersen....
lol he's South African armughal!! he used to play for the dolphins (natal provincial team) and moved to england a couple of years ago. He gets booed when he comes onto field by sa supporters and gets called 'traitor'. hehe
Re: Pietersen....
3 hundreds for him in this series. He is some seriuos talent. When he will be combined with Flintoff in middle order, hmm God bless the bowlers.
Re: Pietersen…
so where has all the south african team been playing all their life???
why dont we see them hitting hundreds in all the games???
Re: Pietersen…
*That’s what I’m thinking! I want to see this guy and Justin Kemp bat as soon as possible! *
Re: Pietersen....
wat a gr8 batsmen, man selecters have ashes headache i'd say, he has to be in dat starting x1 and i believe he showed gr8 character once again to take england out of a wobbly position @ 68-6. he's aggregated something like 430+ rus in dis odi series, brilliant start to his career.
p.s. 211655 get some sleep man
