Early and personal life

Born of an English mother and an Afrikaner father, Penny and Jannie,^[1] Pietersen had a strict and well-disciplined childhood, along with his three brothers Tony, Greg and Bryan;^[9] he learned valuable lessons from this "fantastic" approach to parenting, and said: "Discipline is good. It taught me that I didn't always have to have what I wanted; that what I needed was different from what I wanted."^[10] In his autobiography he refers to himself and his brothers getting the cane at home and at school, although this was not uncommon in South Africa in the 1990s. Bryan is currently playing club and second XI cricket in England.^[11] For other uses, see England (disambiguation). ... This article is about the Southern African ethnic group. ...

Pietersen attended Maritzburg College, Pietermaritzburg, and made his first-class cricket debut for Natal's B team in 1997, aged 17, where he was regarded predominantly as an off spin bowler and a hard-hitting lower-order batsman.^[12]^[13] After two seasons, he moved to England for a five-month spell as the overseas player for club side Cannock CC, helping them win the Birmingham and District Premier League in 2000.^[14] This first spell away from home did not leave him with fond memories for England, in particular "those horrible Black Country accents", living in a single room above a squash court, and working in the club bar.^[10] However, he returned to newly-renamed KwaZulu Natal side a better cricketer, a lack of opportunities to bowl having improved his batting.^[14] Maritzburg College, known locally as College, is a public high school for boys situated in the city of Pietermaritzburg, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. ...

Pietersen is widely portrayed in the media as having a self-assured personality, described by Geoffrey Boycott as being "cocky and confident".^[15] England test captain Michael Vaughan counters this, saying, "KP is not a confident person. He obviously has great belief in his ability but that's not quite the same thing... And I know KP wants to be loved. I try to text him and talk to him as often as I can because I know he is insecure."^[16] He has been noted for his unusual haircuts, with his peroxide blond dyed streak of hair along the middle of his head during the 2005 Ashes series being described as a "dead skunk" look.^[17] During the 2006–07 Ashes tour, the Australian team, noted for their efforts to dominate opponents psychologically, dubbed him "The Ego", or "FIGJAM" (Fuck I'm Good, Just Ask Me).^[18] Other nicknames include KP, Kelves and Kapes.^[1] Geoffrey Boycott OBE (born October 21, 1940) is a former Yorkshire and England cricketer. ...

International career

Success in South Africa

The tour of Zimbabwe caused several players to voice their concerns about the Robert Mugabe regime, the security issues in the country and the standard of the Zimbabwean side.^[21] Steve Harmison was the first to boycott the tour for "political and sporting reasons",^[22] and all-rounder Andrew Flintoff was reported to be considering taking a moral stand himself. The England Chairman of Selectors David Graveney denied that the selectors would leave out players unhappy with touring Zimbabwe and would put their absences down to injury.^[23] Flintoff was, however, "rested" and Pietersen rushed into the squad "at the earliest opportunity".^[24] In the five match ODI series, Pietersen batted in three innings which included a score of 77 not out; he finished the series with an average of 104.00 as England won the series 4–0.

Pietersen scored a 96-ball 108 not out in the tied second ODI at Bloemfontein, after which the crowd turned their backs on him as he returned to the pavilion.^[30] This score set his ODI average at an incredible record 234.00.^[31]^[32] He made 75 at Cape Town,^[33] then at East London Pietersen made an unbeaten 100 from only 69 balls, the fastest century by an England player in a one-day match,^[34] although England still lost by eight runs. In the final game at Centurion Park, Pietersen came to the wicket at 32/3 and scored 116, but again could not prevent a defeat. Pietersen ended the series, which England lost 4–1, with 454 runs in five innings, and the Player of the Series award.^[35]^[36] By the end of the series, the South African crowds had generally replaced hostility with respect for Pietersen, his final century being awarded a standing ovation.^[37] The result in a game of cricket may be a win for one of the two teams playing, a draw or a tie. ...

Less rewarding winter tour

Pietersen had a less successful time in the three Test matches against Pakistan, which England lost 2–0. He made little impact in the first and third Tests, his highest score being 34.^[58]^[59] He fared better in the second, however, making his second Test century in the first innings.^[60] He was also performing well in the one-day series with two explosive innings of 56 from 39 balls to help England win the first ODI, and 28 from 27 balls in the second.^[61]^[62] The quick-scoring innings in the second ODI was to be Pietersen's last on the tour.

The second innings was not so good, facing just 13 balls before being given out caught behind off a Harbhajan Singh delivery. The unhappy Pietersen was later fined 30 percent of his match fee for shaking his head and showing signs of dissent.^[65] "Replays demonstrated that the ball that had dismissed him had brushed his forearm, not his glove, before ballooning up into the hands of Rahul Dravid at slip. But umpire Darrell Hair gave him out for 4 as England collapsed on the fourth afternoon."^[65] Pietersen posted scores of 39 and 7 in the final Test, a match England won comfortably after a dismal 100 all out in India's second visit to the crease.^[66] Caught is a method of dismissing a batsman in the sport of cricket. ...

In May 2006, Pietersen matched his highest Test score of 158 in the first match against Sri Lanka,^[69] and followed it with 142 in the second Test.^[70] This took him past the milestone of 1,000 Test runs, in his 12th Test match, and he became the first batsman since Graham Gooch in 1990 to score a century in three successive Test innings on English soil.^[71] This performance moved Pietersen into the top ten of the ICC cricket ratings, as he was named the England (Test Match) Player of the Series.^[72]^[73] On the first day of the third Test against Pakistan, Pietersen reached his fifth Test century with an overnight score of 104.

England in Australia, 2006–07

In the much anticipated Ashes series in Australia, Pietersen was widely judged to be England's best player, scoring 490 runs in five matches and averaging over 50. He started well with a defiant 92 in the first Test despite England losing by 277 runs,^[79] and then backed up his good form with a century in the second Test in Adelaide, sharing a 310-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Paul Collingwood. When he was eventually run out, his first reaction was to "giggle" because it was the third time he had scored exactly 158 runs (at that point, his highest Test score).^[80] However, even Pietersen seemed disheartened by the end of the series, which England lost 5–0.^[81] Teams Australia England Captains Ricky Ponting Andrew Flintoff Most Runs Ricky Ponting (576) Michael Hussey (458) Matthew Hayden (413) Kevin Pietersen (490) Paul Collingwood (433) Ian Bell (331) Most Wickets Stuart Clark (26) Shane Warne (23) Glenn McGrath (21) Matthew Hoggard (13) Andrew Flintoff (11) Monty Panesar (10) The 2006...

Having scored a century in the first Test against the West Indies at Lord's,^[91] Pietersen posted his highest score of 226 in the second Test at Headingley, surpassing his previous best of 158 which he had achieved three times.^[92] With this score, Pietersen moved ahead of Everton Weekes and Viv Richards to be the batsman with the second-highest run-total out of his first 25 Tests (behind Don Bradman).^[7] It is also the highest Test score for England since Graham Gooch scored 333 against India in 1990.^[93] This innings subjected the West Indies to an innings and 283 runs defeat, their largest against any team. Pietersen, the Man of the Match, said, "I believe the recipe for success is hard work. I've been criticised for throwing my wicket away, and I tried to make it count here".^[94] The Pavilion The Grand Stand Match in progress The Media Centre at Lords Cricket Ground This memorial stone to Lord Harris is in the Harris Garden at Lords Lords Cricket Ground is a cricket ground in St Johns Wood in London, at grid reference TQ268827. ...

In the third Test at Old Trafford, scoring 68 in the second innings, Pietersen lost his wicket in a bizarre dismissal when West Indian all-rounder Dwayne Bravo delivered a bouncer which knocked Pietersen's helmet off his head and onto his stumps. He is only the fourth batsman in Test cricket to be dismissed "hit wicket" as a result of headgear falling onto the stumps.^[95] This score took him past the 8500 first-class runs mark, and 2,500 runs in Test cricket.^[96] Lancashire CCC - main entrance Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester, England has been the home of Lancashire cricket team since 1856 and of the Lancashire County Cricket Club since it was founded in 1864. ...

In contrast, Pietersen's batting was poor in the following single innings matches; he scored a total of 77 runs in five matches (two Twenty20 and three ODI), recording a second-ball duck in the final ODI.^[97] He subsequently fell to second in the official One-day International batting rankings, behind Ricky Ponting.^[98] Pietersen himself has commented that his lack of recent form is a result of "fatigue", and has reiterated his calls for a less "hectic" match schedule.^[99] Ricky Thomas Ponting (born December 19, 1974, in Launceston, Tasmania) is a professional Australian cricketer and current captain of the Australian cricket team in One Day International, Twenty20 International and Test cricket. ...

Pietersen found some form in the first Test against India, with a knock of 134 in the second innings to set up a potential England victory. Pietersen described this as his best century, in very testing conditions.^[100] After two low scores in the second Test, Pietersen scored his 10th Test Century in the third and final Test at the Oval, helping England to draw the game with 101.^[101]

Pietersen was also picked for and played in the Twenty20 Championship in South Africa. In England's first game against Zimbabwe on September 13, Pietersen hit 79 runs off 37 balls, his highest Twenty20 score, including four sixes and seven fours in an English total of 188-9. England won the match by 50 runs, however this was to be Pietersen's largest contribution in the competition. He scored another 99 runs over four more matches, ending the series with an average of 35.60. He also scored the most England fours (17) and jointly held the record for the most England sixes (6) with Owais Shah.

Sri Lanka 2007

Pietersen scored 50 in England's opening game in Sri Lanka against the Sri Lankan Cricket XI,^[103] but it took until the fourth ODI for Pietersen to find form, scoring 63 not out as England won their first series in Sri Lanka.^[104] This form was still fluctuating in the warm-up matches for the Test series, scoring 4, 1 and 59 against the Sri Lankan Cricket XI. This run continued in the Test matches, the only highlight being 45 not out to secure a draw in the 2nd Test. In the first innings, Pietersen's dismissal was to be the source of much controversy. He edged his fifth ball to Chamara Silva at slip, who flicked the ball up for wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara to complete the catch. The two on-field umpires conferred overthe validity of the catch, as it was unclear whether the ball had touched the ground prior to Silva flicking the ball up. Daryl Harper, standing at the bowler's end gave the decision that the wicket had been taken, but while walking off the field, Pietersen saw a replay on the big screen and questioned the validity of the decision. This led for calls for similar catches to be referred to the third (TV) umpire, but this can only take place if the on-field umpires have not made a decision.^[105] Pietersen passed 3,000 Test runs during the series, becoming the fastest player (by time) to do so,^[106]^[107] but only averaged 25.20, and failed to score a half century in a series for the first time.^[108] The English cricket team will tour Sri Lanka from 28 September to 22 December 2007. ...

New Zealand 2008

On England's tour against New Zealand, Pietersen averaged 33.00 in the ODI series, with one score of 50 in the tied 4th match; England lost the series 3-1.^[109] He also made a top score of 43 in the first of two comfortable Twenty20 matches.^[110] Pietersen had a quiet first two test matches, making little impression with the bat. However, in the first innings of the Napier Test he rescued England from a disastrous start of 3-4, guiding them towards 259 with 129, his 11th Test century.^[111] The English cricket team toured New Zealand for 3 Test matches, 5 One-day Internationals, and 2 Twenty20 Internationals in February and March 2008. ...

New Zealand then came to tour England and Pietersen again struggled in the first two Test matches, running himself out on 42 when seemingly well-set in the second match.test match of the subsequent home series against New Zealand, scoring in the single figures. In the second, he scored 26 in the first innings, then ran himself out on 42 having looked well set.^[112] He struck a century in the third Test, forming a valuable partnership with Tim Ambrose, making a crucial 115.^[113] Pietersen hit a winning 42 not out in the Twenty20 match, before displaying his talent for innovation in the NatWest Series. Timothy Raymond Ambrose (born 1 December 1982) is an Australian born English cricketer. ... The NatWest Series is an annual one day international cricket tournament held in England involving the home side and two of the seasons touring teams. ...

The switch-hit

In the first ODI of the NatWest series, Pietersen hit two astonishing and controversial sixes by "switch-hitting" on route to 110 not out. While facing the bowling of medium pace Scott Styris, Pietersen turned his body around and switched hands (effectively batting as a left hander) hitting two sixes over cover and long off. Because Pietersen not only reversed his hand position (as some batsman do while playing the reverse sweep), but changed his stance by rotating his body, these "switch-hit" shots were immediately followed by calls to outlaw them from the game.^[114] Although a similar shot was played when Pietersen reverse-swept Muttiah Muralitharan for six in Sri Lanka in 2006, he only switched hands and executed "the switch" after the ball was bowled, and not before, as in this case. Scott Bernard Styris (born Brisbane, Australia 10 July 1975) is a New Zealand cricketer. ... It has been suggested that Fielding strategy (cricket) be merged into this article or section. ... Andrew Strauss batting for England during the 2005 NatWest Series In the sport of cricket, batting is the act or skill of hitting the cricket ball with a cricket bat in order to score runs without getting out. ... Muttiah Muralitharan (born 17 April 1972 in Kandy, Sri Lanka), often referred to as Murali, is a Sri Lankan cricketer who was statistically rated the greatest Test-Match bowler ever by Wisden Cricketers Almanack in 2002. ...

Several commentators claim that because Pietersen changed from being a right-handed to a left-handed batsman as the bowler approached his delivery stride, he was gaining an unfair advantage. Gideon Haigh claimed that "A bowler must advise a batsman when he's changing direction, why should the batsmen not; given that where the bowler's aiming will depend on the placement of the off stump". Ian Healy seconds this by saying "It just should be outlawed straightaway. If you want to hit to one side of the field, you've got to do it in a cross fashion, and not swap the way you're facing or your grip. Otherwise you are going to start to allow the bowlers to go round the wicket, over the wicket, and keep swapping during their run-ups." This ideal was echoed by former fast-bowler Michael Holding, who rather than calling for the shot to be banned, advocated the latter scenario whereby bowlers do not have to inform the umpire, or batsman, of a change of delivery.^[115] This article does not cite its references or sources. ... Ian Andrew Healy (born April 30, 1964 in Brisbane) was an Australian cricketer. ... Michael Anthony Holding (born February 16, 1954 in Kingston, Jamaica) was a West Indian cricketer. ...

Another citation for the shot being outlawed was that the possibility of being out LBW ("a player is out LBW if...the ball pitches in line between wicket and wicket or on the off side of the striker's wicket") is removed, as the off side become the leg side and vice versa.^[117] The shots were considered by the MCC, governors of the game, who came to the conclusion that the shot was legal, believing that the LBW law (which continues "The off side of the striker's wicket shall be determined by the striker's stance at the moment the ball comes into play for that delivery") adequately covers the scenario.^[118]^[119] They cited the variations bowlers can make, such as bowling a googly or a slower ball, and also the inherent risk in the shot to the batsman, in the justification of their decision.^[120] Lords 2005 The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), founded in 1787, is a private members club and was the original governing body of cricket in England and across the world. ...

There are still calls for further review of the stroke, with Jonathan Agnew giving a scenario in which a right-handed batsman can take his stance as a left-hander, then switch stance as the bowler runs in, thus being able to kick away any balls that land outside his now off stump. He also calls for the wide law to be adjusted in one-day cricket, as bowlers are penalised for most deliveries that pass down the leg side.^[121] Jonathan Philip Agnew (nicknamed Aggers) is an English cricket broadcaster and former professional cricketer. ...
