That is unreal lucky, not what KP needed at all. Still don't see it.
Hot spot shows it flicking the pad. Gotta be pad first, because it goes on the off side and the bat is behind the pad. I think that hot spot frame shows it flicking the pad before it goes onto bat too.

Just shocking luck, really. Can't possibly play those.

Bat and pad together for me.

**** pitch to be doing that though, shooting along the ground.


IMO this should be the last Test that Cardiff is awarded for a very long time. Really slow pitch, crap weather, holes in the bowler's run up needing to be repaired et, etc.

Sad part in all this is that England will waste quite some time before starting to accelerate. Whatever little chances there were of a win have surely vanished.

Unlucky on the bounce for sure, but surely too close to cut. No harm in playing straight until you've played yourself in.

Pietersen should resist any sense of grievance. Fatherhood, captaincy, injuries, bad decisions. Needs to take responsibility for his form over a protracted period now.

Amazing to see someone who took on Warne with such aplomb on his debut getting out to a series of SLA journeymen.

One can but sympathise with KP, but was the correct decision IMHO. Hot Spot seemed to show the ball flicking the pad first.

It probably wouldn't have been given had HS not been available tho.

The chance of getting a lead big enough and bowling them out again, with only 3 bowlers is next to none.
