Says a lot to me .
Yeah, KP grated people up the wrong way- but to me, he was a genius - and provided me with the best innings in a Test match ever at The Oval in 2005-even better than Stokes this series - he had to take apart Warne,Mcgrath,Tait et al - not Morris,Rabada,Piedt.0 -
He did get dropped three times.The_President said:

Undoubtedly a fantastic player and a very good innings but that is OTT.1 -
Sorry to be a pedant but McGrath was long gone (turned his ankle before the second test) when KP hit that ton. Still a great knock though.The_President said:

The Oval London Sep 8-12 2005 5th Test
KP Pietersen B Mcgrath 158
And Brett Lee was bowling too - i forgot about him ! - So, McGrath,Warne,Lee and Tait - oh, and Katich too !.
In the context of the game, and the opponents and the quality of the opponents ,and the way he went about it, it was a magnificent match/series/Ashes deciding innings.1 -
McGrath was in and out that series, played 1st test, missed 2nd, rushed back for the 3rd test, missed the 4th then played the 5th.0
-
I'll bet that if McGrath hadn't got injured, we wouldn't have won that series. Tough luck, eh1

England Cricket @englandcricket 4m4 minutes ago
We're underway again with @benstokes38 & @MoeenAli aiming to build a partnership. ENG 232-6 http://www.ecb.co.uk/matchdaylive0 -
England all out for 342 - Rabada took 7 wickets, Moeen got a 60+0
-
Good performance from moeen. 130 odd runs behind, but Abbot is injured. I think we'll do well to get a result. We can rarely finish teams off once we've beaten them. Alan "40 points" curbishley must be a coach0
-
It happens all the time - always remember England winning in OZ when we were already 4-0 down.0

Had too many complaints! Been trying to expand my punctuation...Leroy Ambrose said:
Somebody's nicked the exclamation mark from your keyboard Canters!cantersaddick said:Really disappointed with the Woakes decision.. should have been Footit any day. I hope with Bayliss and Farbrace we'd got past the era of ridiculous selections...
I could understand going with the defensive option of Woakes in the first match. His batting added strength down the order and his ability to bowl consistent line and length and keep it tight is useful.
But for this match we have already won the series... There is no point playing for the draw, let's see wicket taking bowlers who can cause batsmen problems..
Agree 100% btw0 -

Sad to hear that Jack Bannister died today. Very good commentator.

I agree with Vaughany on this, KP has no rights for an ODI or Test place, but T20 is different. He's proven himself at what is frankly a much more competitive tournament than our own domestic T20 league, and a player in form now is surely better than someone who batted well last SeptemberChrissy\\\'s Army!! said:I'm just gonna leave this here

Agreed - though it is very hard to see England going back to KP now.
Watched the game last night, and KP was still very, very good, whatever you say about him, you can't deny that he is the man for the big occasion!0 -
England wont go back for KP full stop.1

You think he can be in the same squad as James Taylor after saying he should stick to being a jockey like his dad as he's no good at cricket. And then admitting in his book he said this but that it doesn't matter as it was meant to be a private conversation and shouldn't have got out.
How many other players will he have done similar to...
I'm out.0 -
Is this game not quite dead yet?1

Wow, just noticed score - ABDV gone for a pair ! - lasted 4 balls the entire Test !Leuth said:Is this game not quite dead yet?
2nd ball in first innings and 2nd ball in 2nd innings - does that make it a silver pair ??!!2 -
What was Compton doing reviewing his big nick behind ?
I've got a feeling he's done that before?1 -

Been in Pretoria all weekend.Been a great experience watching England, especially due to how cheap the cost of living.Even met a fellow addick today.0

Nephew flew out to Joburg yesterday with the Potential England Performance Programme bowlers to train and work with the one day squad. Had all his official England gear too.6

That was a rather disappointing end to the match and series!1
-
That Rabada looks a terrific prospect.
From being in a mess three tests ago, SA have suddenly got Amla back on form, Bavuma looking good, Rabada and De Kok looking like finds and Cook opening well.
Steyn and Philander to come back too.
Reports of their death were greatly exaggerated I think.
Good series from an England team on the up, despite today. Still questions over 2, 3 and 5 - though I'd stick with Taylor, I think he'll keep improving and become a good Test player for us.4
