Two Faces Of Kevin Pietersen

Ahh KP - two faces and multiple personalities, most of them somewhat unfortunate.

Playing The Waiting Game

KP is taking the Zen approach to touring down under.

Eye Eye

Now I'm no batting coach but KP might want to keep at least one eye open if he is going to break the trot he is currently in.

Wearing The Jersey With Pride

KP gets to wear and celebrate a bit of English cricket history.

A Safe Pair Of Hands

It is the brain and the mouth that are shaky.

Selection Meeting On The Balcony

The Nurturing Kind

Never had KP figured as the kind sharing type, but with James "Pixie" Taylor it must be hard to resist the urge to pick the little fella up and give him a cuddle.

Too Cool To Move

Always one to strike a pose is our KP.

Welcome Back KP

O' To Be In England...

... now that winters here.

KP would appear to wish himself anywhere, but out.

Only at Lord's could the whole ground be covered in snow without a blemish on it - it's all about standards you know.

What Are You Looking At?

Which to be unfair to KP is a pretty reasonable question?

Cool, As The Other Side Of The Pillow

KP is cool. He's got the glasses, the tattoo and the wristband. Just the complete package.

KP Kicks

Why?

Well being KP probably just because he can.

KP Comes Home To Roost

Well at least for the time being. Who knows where he will finally end up? Any bets on South Africa?

A Cat With No Tail

Let me be the first to start the rumour that KP is lining up a stint for the Isle of Man cricket team in the fading years of his career.

It might sound a bit far fetched but this striking pose may be a subliminal suggestion , he does have a record of jumping ship, and if Hamish Marshall can be Irish (with his haircut) then why not?

Bully Boy

You know KP is coming back into form when he is starting to scare the wicketkeeper.

Cricket Is Pain

Just ask KP.

In fact, a search of the Cricinfo photo database under the word "pain" produces a wide variety of examples of just how painful cricket can be. I shall bring you more of these painful moments in due course.

Meanwhile KP, just give 'em a rub, it's not like you were planning on using them this afternoon.

Enigma or Enema?

As we approach the return of KP I still can't make up my mind - is he just a misunderstood soul who is seeking approval or does he just give me the shits?

Either way he would have been right at home in the 1980's.

A Bit Of Tongue Action

Its all about hand, eye, tongue, elbow, bat co-ordination. No worries.

It's All Fun And Games ...

... until someone losses an eye?
The team that plays together, stays together?
Will the circle be unbroken?

God knows they seem fairly relaxed about the prospect of another game against NZ.
