It's PietersEn. No one can seem to spell it right.
And yeah I think he's a tad overrated, he's a good batsman but he gives his wicket away too easily and has been dropped so many times in his career that once his luck runs out he won't be having such a nice time of it.

Yeah, that average of 60-odd is really shocking. Gotta improve on that. :rolleyes:Nishant said:I tyhink he's really overrated! He hasn't done anything special over the past few years and seems to give away his wicket at crucial times. He did well in the ashes but

He can play some pretty awesome shots, and can destroy great bowlers, such as McGrath, Muralitharan and Warne. I don't think he's overated, he just needs to get some more big scores.

Pieterson at the moment is overrated. He's a good batsman no doubt, but hes a little immature and and needs to work on that. He needs to learn what shot to play and at what time. He gives away his wickets a lot which makes him a little immature in Cricket terms. If he works on that, then overtime he will become one of the greatest ODI and Test batsman to have ever set foot on a Cricket pitch because he has he has immense talent.

You have to average 50 to be in the 2nd bracket IMO.Jono said:

Younis is close enough with his 49.16, and Sanga is damn close with 48.93 as well.
Regarding Pietersen, I believe its been said that Pietersen will eventually get there, not that he's there now, so obviously that prediction would be that Pietersen is going to average very close to 50 for most of his career?

I think hes a tad over-rated. He plays his attacking shots when he should play defensively, which gives his wicket away too easily. Otherwise I could see him being one of the best Test and ODI batsmen ever. 
Which will be really shocking.
