KP's Greatest Knock? Pietersen Smashes 142 off 157 | England v Sri Lanka 2006 - Full Highlights

[@gentlefistinfinity9780]

Mark Nichols words at 8:33 "I do hope people don't ever take Kevin Pietersen for granted", were a harbinger of things to come. To get a hundred against that Sri Lankan attack was just a testament of KP's talent.

[@shak9558]

Sri Lankan attack? Aside from murali the rest were trash

[@ashwinniranjan61]

763 what about vaas, malinga and maharoof? forgetting about three of the greatest to ever play for Sri Lanka?

[@johndown99]

We did take KP for granted and it was a tragedy that he didn't play more tests. He was better to watch than Botham or Gower.

Still the most loved player for me! He's and inspiration, he's my idol! Everything I know from holding a bat to looking at the ball this man's the reason for it! Can't thank him enough, we are blessed to have witnessed his career live, and there will be no one like him ever

[@leeturton9254]

He scored a superb ton in sri Lanka to.. like boycott said on this film he was literally taking the micky out of the bowling

[@EphemeralEpiphanies]

I'd always rate his match saving 158 at the Oval to protect England's 2-1 Ashes lead his greatest ever. Yes, he was dropped twice, but then under tremendous pressure he racked up those runs while also taking Brett Lee and Warnie to the cleaners. Everything that the 'opposition annihilating' Australian team of that era threw at him on that day 5 in those atrocious conditions, he faced with aplomb while also smashing 7 sixes , an Ashes record that probably still stands.

[@leeturton9254]

Bret lee was bowling fast to .. really fast

[@wakaflockaproject]

@@leeturton9254 yup 160km

[@kinggimped]

Huge talent and an ego to match. Wish he'd had a longer test career, he's one of the best batsmen England have ever had, and just what the team needed at the time. Just a shame he was such a divisive character off the field, because he was a truly special player out in the middle.

[@jerryattwooll4864]

Andrew Strauss has done many good things for English cricket not least changing our attitude and fortune in one day cricket, but his inability to patch up his differences with KP will always be an unfortunate legacy in his time in English cricket.

I believe this is his 3rd test series , after that memorable Ashes and Pakistan series. Couldn't believe my eyes that he switch hit(8 test matches old) a legendary bowler for a six. First six of Brett Lee 155+ , then of Akhtar 157+ and then this legendary off spinner.
