One problem with Pietersen achieving this is his self-confessed reluctance to bat any higher than No:4. Having just been persuaded to move up to No:4 from 5 in this World Cup, I doubt that he will agree to go any higher. Gibbs too bats now at No:4, but might be moved to No:3 or even as one of the openers, having done so before.

Another advantage that the likes of Ponting, Gibbs and Gayle have over Pietersen is that England play comparitively fewer ODIs during a calender year.
