If it was his ball Kevin Pietersen would have stuck it in his pocket and stormed off home, petulantly mumbling “Stupid bloody game…you don’t know what you’re talking about…I wasn’t out…cheating b$%&*£ds…I’m telling my mum.” Instead the England batsman just stood around until things got a little embarrassing, then he stood around a little longer and finally stormed off in a huff. Kev was unhappy with the catch which sent him packing with just 1 run to his name, claiming the ball hit the ground first. His captain Michael Vaughan came out in his defence asking for the umpires to use “common sense.” The ruling stood though and a late clutch of wickets for Malinga saw England’s strong start Pieter out. 4.00am SS1
