The most overrated cricketer of our generation, never made runs when the game was on the line. The biggest downhill skier I have ever seen, threw his wicket away so often.
Ridiculous comments.
******** of a bloke but to doubt this blokes cricketing achievements is ridiculous.
Check out the stats, also drill down a bit. His record in the 1st innings is far superior to the 2nd. That's always a good gauge of a player, there's been lots of 2nd innings specialists. A bit like 4 qtr goals when your sides getting smashed.
Also check out his record agains the Country's, his averages are strong against the good sides.
also, 4th highest run scorer in England test history, the 3 above Gooch, Stewart and Gower all had at least 25 more innings than him.

Agree with all this. Pietersen was a flog of the highest flogness but he was a hell of a player. Played well against Australia pretty regularly and is still one of the best batsmen England have available.

Nice try, he always made runs when the openers had done their job and England were 2/400 or something like that. Most overrated cricketer of our generation.

Serious question...is it now mandatory to play for Victoria to get a gig in the Australian side....only justification i can think of that we give a game to these absolute potatoes:

- Maxwell
- Hodge
- Wade
- Christian
- Muirhead
- McKay

Then you have players such as Finch, White, Rodgers, Pattison and Siddle who have all been gifted games when others more deserving have missed out.

You obviously haven't seen Muirhead bowl.

Not even going to start on Rogers, Pattinson, or Siddle.

It was a nice try, in fact it was better than a nice try, it was the bleeding obvious.
Gun cricketer with a cocky attitude.
During his career when watching or listening to Ashes tests, as an Aussie supporter he's always been the player I've wanted back in the pavilion ASAP. To our joy we managed to achieve that this series.

More stats to follow.

Boyce is 10 times the spinner.

Pattinson was way out of form when played in the ODI's and got smashed as a result. Siddle was shit all ashes series but was hidden behind Harris and Johnson
