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]

[@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.

[@furkaan3983]

He took test cricket to next level with his knocks

[@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.

[@vinodsrinivasan9077]

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.
