What everyone thinks about Kevin Pietersen?

Robin's innings is some of the best hitting I have ever seen. I saw it on the TV from Bangladesh, but to watch it live from the other end was something else. I have played against Brett Lee in Tests, and to hit him like that, all credit to Robin.

I've actually been quite annoyed when people have said the likes of Ravi (Bopara) are my rivals to counter the Australians. I am with Ravi all day every day, I love the bloke, his confidence, the way he plays without fear, the way he talks about things and the way he doesn't worry - I love his approach and it's something a lot of the players can learn from.
