Well, he proved you wrong today didn't he? In my opinion Pieterson is a weapon England have that other countries also have but at slightly lower quality, like having the most powerful nuke in the world despite other countries such as South Africa or Australia having several less powerful nukes. Pieterson is the best ODI batsman in the world after today he proved that. However, his team are a long way behind him, back to the nuke simile, Vaughan, Joyce, Flintoff seem to emulating a hand-held bazooka sort of destructive power. Pieterson must be used at no.3 or no.4 so he can knock off a big innings like he did today. However, some people might consider putting him down the order as I think he got his 3 centuries against South Africa at no.5 or 6.
