Kevin Pietersen named in Tony Greig's Best-Ever England XI.

Point 1) That's one of the best things about, bowlers hate it.
2) That's pretty good, remember he has 3 158s and a double ton. 2,500 runs in 2 years of Cricket is very good, especially when he's played 10 tests against Australia.
3) I agree, it is too early for him to be in this all time XI, I have no doubt he'll get in it though, Cook probably will too.

Yes that is good but im saying if he only has 2,500 runs so far then he is obviously not experienced enough. But you agreed with that in point 3..

Barry Richards played 4 Test Matches & for some reason his still considered one of the great batsman?

The SA selectors were obviously blind -.-

So? Bart King played no Test matches and is considered one of the greatest bowlers.

Please tell me you're not being serious in that last sentence?

I agree that it is too early to put Pietersen into a "Greatest XI". We should wait, really, till after the end of his career and then we can see the full stats and story...

 

[mattfb]

Not neccesarily the end of his Carrer but like stated earlier maybe 2-3 years.

 

[tech.007]

yes i think Petersen should not be included the team he is to young he has to see many days before he becomes great

No they weren't. South Africa were excluded from playing international cricket due to apartheid.

Ah! It went over my head for six!

Oh yes :o Sorry all ;l

Well my dad says Barry Richards was one of the best opening batsmen he has ever seen but that was when he was playing county cricket for Hampshire.
