Kevin Pietersen, England - Player profile

Only in cricket would Kevin Pietersen be seen as glamorous. He’s quite softly-spoken really and prone to inadvisable, knee-jerk fashion statements.

Kevin Pietersen is often depicted as brash and self-possessed. This is really just obscene self confidence. If you were Kevin Pietersen you’d be self-confident – the man’s gifted. He can deposit good balls for six and dispatch the most unlikely balls for four in the most surprising directions. Expect a good few runs to come from his bat during the World Cup.
