The best thing to come out of Kevin being dropped, Was seeing England lose game after game because of him not being in the team. Kevin asked Andrew Strauss what he needed to do to get back in the England team, Strauss said score runs. So he goes and scores 355*, Still not good enough. The Bloody Bastards.
KP was lazy. I was in Dubai watching him bat against Pakistan. Pakistan made a field change putting someone in leg slip, and he didn't even look. I remarked on this to my friends and the very next ball, he was caught by leg slip playing a stupid shot. We all laughed at how prophetic it was, after a few expletives. Fine player on his day, but a liability.
Aside from the 2005 Ashes and then the golden 2009-2012 period, England were a poor side across all formats for much of Kevin’s career. His brilliance with the bat was often the only thing dragging them over the line to the occasional win or draw. I can completely understand why he is not everyone’s cup of tea as a person, but as a cricketer: inarguably superb.
KP is still good enough to play at the highest level even today…infact much better than most. Imagine if he was still playing as on date all records would have been well beaten. It’s a real shame that he didn’t even play for ten years.
Kevin Pietersen, Andrew Flintoff and Ian Botham. Shared characteristics? Ability to play at a whole new level and........ really hard to manage. We don't understand how they are so good and they don't understand why we're not! It's not a new thing in sport. John McEnroe, Maradona, George Best etc etc. They are on a different level and we have to appreciate that for good and bad. KP was the most amazing batsman I have ever watched play. In the video he hit that mid foot leg side flick through mid wicket. The commentator mentioned Sir Viv. Now we all know how incredibly amazingly cool Viv was but he never hit a shot like that. Feels weird to write it but I think KP was a better batsman in his day than Sir Viv was in his.
Agree. Swann comes across as a real smug, arrogant twat who thinks he’s cleverer than he actually is. Was good to see him run away and retire like a coward in the middle of the 13/14 Ashes series.
He was enthralling, he was polarising, with the right people with him, he was fantastic, with the wrong people with him, he was divisive, he stood up for his beliefs and he always fights for the causes he’s most passionate about, he was an artist with the cricket bat, his career ended too soon, he’s the Ayrton Senna of cricket
Like Darren Gough Said " Look At The Top Current Batmen In The Wolrd Right Now .How Many Of Them Play Or Want To Play Like Kevin Pietersen ? ALL OF THEM "
His story reminds me of David Beckham. Both were ahead of their time and non conventional but extremely talented. Everything he did back then is normal now, playing IPL, managing your schedule, etc. I am a HUGE FAN of KP!!
Such a fabulous recap of KP’s career. I can understand where he came from , though I think he could have made his share of errors throughout the later part of his English career. I won’t rule out utter jealousy from many team members , Matt Prior etc were pretty ordinary cricketers in comparison. A spiritual guru could have kept him in check, moulded him to be an even more successful cricketer. He needed someone to help him take control of his mind.
I remember Sri Lanka playing England right after this historic ashes series win over Australia and putting up 570+ runs in Lords and tied the Test series! Won the ODIs 5-0. Sri Lanka discover a talent in Malinga!
Here i am liking this for the 100th time. Pietersen is a class act! Am from Assam, so elated that he is vocal about saving the rhino's. GO Kaziranga! Go Kevin!!!
What specifically did he change about how ppl batted in test cricket? Can you be specific? There are many batsmen who were attacking players like himself long before he was even born. Not sure what exactly you are talking.
Absolute nonsense. He changed nothing…….yes he was a good player. He wasn’t more attacking than Ricky Ponting, or many other players, if that’s the point your trying to make.

Someone like Sourav Ganguly as a captain might had handled him better. Ganguly was not a greatest player but he was grate in man management, he know how to make ordinary player in to match winner's, love KP😊
Funny you say the same. I had the same thought as I watched an interview on Linkedin where Sourav taked about man management amd handling different personalities. He said that he found Yuvi in one of night clubs before an important game. Instead of making a huge deal, he trusting his instinct and suppressed the news getting leaked to media. Yuvi that day scored a match saving innings.

Interesting that Broad who was definitely against KP when they were both playing after retirement on the Simon Jordan podcast seemed to do a 180 and admit that he found Strauss quite snakey and even admitted he didn't enjoy playing under Strauss
Would have easily scored 10,000+ runs and 30+ centuries. He is by far the best English batsmen of his generation. Alistair Cook got knighted but he's average was lower than KP's.

Certain people just rile people up and invite bullying whether they're decent people or not. Everyone holds grudges against people they don't like justifiably or not and act on that antipathy if they're in a position of power. They're lying to themselves if they think otherwise. I think KP was treated unfairly.
@@paulz4667 Vaughan and Fletcher loved him. I reckon those two formed a great partnership as captain and couch, and knew how to manage those unique personalities like KP and Flintoff. I get the sense that they were happy to tolerate not so perfect people if they were real winners
KP THE LEGEND. THAT ASHES HE NEEDED A CENTURY WHEN JOHNSON RAN EVERYBODY AMUCK. KP WAS THE ONLY GUY WHO WAS CAPABLE THOUGH HE TRIED IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT. THOUGH HE MISSED ENGLAND AFTER PLAYING MORE THAN 100, HE SAVED HIMSELF TO PLAY FEW SOLID YEARS OF FRANCHISE CRICKET ESPECIALLY IPL WHERE HE WAS PAID HANDSOMELY. HE ALSO PLAYED BIG BASH. KP IN MOOD WAS LIKE MODERN VIV.
Gosh isn’t Swann an Absolute Goose. Tim Tim not nice but Dim, toffee pop. Nearly average at best, wouldn't write home though. How good are SA at producing cricket talent for the rest of the world . Cheers for that.
Best mind and the greatest batsman of his generation by far (nit including batsman like kallis and tendulkar cayse they pkayed a hell lot before him he is more abd d's generation
He was brilliant gave millions of people so much enjoyment really shame to go out the game like that we always look at the bad why don't we look at the good in people 😀👍😇
lovely story - same with all flawed true genius. there was a match seemingly heading to a draw in india that kp turned around by scoring quickly to turn the tables on the clueless indians for the bowlers to bowl us out!! but he neednt have to hate people like james taylor so much. that guy was chosen for a reason and people like kp and viv should step back and help out if they wish if they're not in charge.
Stokes has the habit of dropping his bat when he gets bowled in a way that it feels like he is saying to the bowler Dude you said you won’t bowl the Yorker but you did !! 😂… I remember couple of times him dropping his bat when he was bowled by Starc Yorker.. implying that this was not we hd agreed too 🤣🤣
He left sa to be the best because South Africa was in their best group of players at that time and he would have been overshadowed but at the end it bite him big time
As an aussie, i wasnt happy that kp did that textgate and shouldnt be back in the England team in the first place and i guess kp was a difficult person to deal with and i underdtand he wants to do ipl, then do it and ecb should have chekced his schedule and work it out
Genius talent, but I still feel he could have become an even better player if he had a different head. The biggest enemy of Kevin Pietersen was not a bowler or other person, but Kevin Pietersen himself.
As a commentator he is totally biased , now one can assume why he was kicked out of the team. Broadcaster please see that in future he should not be in the commentry team against India
ecb did'nt treat him well,,he was the best player of spin in england,,,and eng paid the price,,when they got albsolutely humiliated in 2015 wc and 2014 t2o wc
Kevin was a player who needed a sense of security, which Vaughan gave him, and he flourished... England wanted to tame him like others, which wasn't possible ..it will be very difficult to find someone like Kevin. Root is good, but not at Kevin's level
He was in the business of making runs, not making friends, + he handled his business like no one else in an England shirt ever has. Botham wouldn't have won any popularity contests, either, it's really not important, although his mum might not agree with that..............
England have always had a problem where they pick players that are nice and get along but they don't pick the actual match winners cause they don't get Along or there not team men as an Aussie cricket fan yous just manage to stuff each selection up
At the time though, I don't understand why pick players who are nice doesn't perform well, pick players who has performed well and right now the selections are right for England
KP was a good batter. Whilst still in SA ,he was very much a normal/average up & coming cricketer. I think he became the most confident cricketer of all time (slightly behind Warne) moving to/playing in/for England.His confidence made him become a really good cricketer. But still nowhere near a genius.....
Great bat and hugely talented .But was totally South African .He was utterly tactless....a classic South African trait .Should never played for England let alone captain the team .One of those extremely talented sportsman who was also extremely thick .
At least you will mostly know exactly where you stand with us tactless South Africans. Not saying there are no backstabbing, two-faced bastards among us, too. As for being thick, look a bit closer at yourself.
Kevin is a better human being then Michael Vaughan he may have done some bad things but he has a bad heart Whereas michael Vaughan is a racist coming from an Aussie
Brilliant documentary, the most entertaining and non fearful England batsman I've ever seen in the 47 yrs I've been watching international cricket.

Yeah KP should have been in that English side for another 2-3 years. No one else was better than him. They had problems they couldn’t fill
You never know what’s in the other side of the coin? You can only guess!

The greatest England batsmans ever
The there is the dumbest thing I've heard this week.
Why do you think so?@@jacobkuntflapp
what a watch! amazing documentary
KP, the legend. wish he played for south africa
Swann shown in this documentary what kind of a person he was those England players didnt value him as he should
We are so fortunate to have witnessed such a talented player in our life time. Big personality! Big heart!Big player!
Great player - a pleasure to watch. retired / forced out too early.
I believe Swann was a divisive character in all this! I wouldn't trust Swann as far as i could throw him!
Agree. Swann comes across as a real smug, arrogant twat who thinks he’s cleverer than he actually is. Was good to see him run away and retire like a coward in the middle of the 13/14 Ashes series.
His character in quitting cricket during a losing Ashes series in 2014 says it all!
@@ebiwanton
Anderson was also sly
Gotta love this man and what he's trying to do in South Africa.
KP would have surely ended up as the Greatest English cricketer ever. Unfortunately, ECB couldn’t manage him.
He was enthralling, he was polarising, with the right people with him, he was fantastic, with the wrong people with him, he was divisive, he stood up for his beliefs and he always fights for the causes he’s most passionate about, he was an artist with the cricket bat, his career ended too soon, he’s the Ayrton Senna of cricket

what a player he was ❤❤miss him
Like Darren Gough Said
" Look At The Top Current Batmen In The Wolrd Right Now .How Many Of Them Play Or Want To Play Like Kevin Pietersen ?
