Cricket’s ‘golden age’
You have to hand it to Kevin Pietersen. He’s certainly got chutzpah — or should that be a death wish? Just when you might think he’d be happy, having finally won the battle to take part in the Indian Premier League, he’s gone and started another fight, but this time it was one he was going to lose.
There are two ways of viewing his bloody and shambolic feud with Peter Moores, the England coach (sorry, make that the former England coach), that’s ended with all the main players lying dead, centre stage. One is that Pietersen’s a natural born winner, a man who will stop at nothing in taking his side to victory, and that with the Ashes coming down the track, he just wanted what’s best. But when it comes to causing trouble, KP’s got a long charge sheet.
