C'mon fellas... 🤦♂️ Live 👉 9WWOS Cricket Ashes
England great Kevin Pietersen has been extremely vocal during the series, and popped up again on Saturday morning UK time to take a shot at Aussie spinner Nathan Lyon.
Pietersen was perturbed at England's slow run rate during the second session, particularly against the off-spinner."Off spinner with zero variations and bowling on world crickets flattest road!!!!" Australian journalist Nic Savage quickly pointed out that Lyon had actually taken KP's wicket four times, with only Shane Warne, Muttiah Muralitharan and Saeed Ajmal being more successful.
Pietersen bit straight back, saying that you needed to look at the context of those wickets - and he may have a point. During the 2013 Ashes in England and 2013-14 series in Australia when they crossed paths, Pietersen was dismissed by Lyon four times, but did take 163 off the spinner's bowling at a strike rate of more than 70.
