Such people like Pietersen need far greater human skills to handle them .Same thing happens in Industry if you have extremely talented guy - he will not stand non sense . Once the best of the talents - the best students form a class will seek government jobs ,Public sector etc today they do not want - because there soon realise there is an idiot placed above him who is ocrrupt and does not even know the basic rules ,polices and the laws - he only knows how to loot and his caste will protect him .Handling talent is not same run of mill suckers.
Yes Peitersen and cook both had got out to harbhajan but they were saved by aleem dar & tony hill. Cook was out LBW and Peitersen was out caught at forward short leg after inside edge on to pads. Both the players were out quite early in their innings. Proper umpiring would have ensured Indian victory. India should use DRS for remaining test matches.

Who stooped this IPL team from opting DRS ,you just see the AUS Vs SA ,the match was saved by DRS . Doggedly we stick to some stupidity and the the ego comes in to play .DRS may not be perfect in terms of technology but it cerainly corrects over 50% of cases -is it not enough - same things can happen to any team so do not blame the umpiring we also got favors albeit unplanned.
he is in the mould of richards,hayden who bat with a swagger. No wonder he has a high ego..however his talent is far higher than his ego. that is why he could score a match winning century in mumbai
What people don't understand is that the arrogance and ego KP has is the reason he is such a destructive player. Eng need to stop moaning and be grateful that he is playing for them. Imagine KP playing in the current SA side. Smith, Amla, Kallis, DeVilliers, KP......pretty good side that.

Who cares??? it is time to Ban Cricket itself, What is use if the umpires are bought and match fixed earlier??? aleem dar and tony hill played for the british team, for favours received,eprhaps??? who knows???BCCI must replace paki umpire aleem dar and britihs umpire tony hill for the kolata and other test macth too since they were playing for the brits with biased decisions in their favour and those decisions made india lose the match too! Whether the umpires received money for theirfavours is not known, but possible and umpires must lose their matchfees if they make wrong decisions or all decisions must be ratifie by a third or fourth umpire in future to avoid match fixing,etc, shame mumabu test macth was fixed since the british team were playing with 13 players, what a shame!
