Pietersen has started to show big cracks in his batting. One problem with KP is that he is not nearly as successful outside of English conditions so that is a worry for him. He showed something against Malinga which should never be shown by a batsman. Fear, which defeated him before he got that good ball. That ball also was not unplayable Pietersen just made it look that way.

Pietersen stats
Home - 35 inn, 1991 runs at 58.56, 8x100, 5x50, Hs 226
Away - 27 inn, 1003 runs at 40.12, 2x100, 5x50 , Hs 158

The biggest problem KP is having is not being able to score runs in the subcontinent.

In India - 6 inn, 216 runs at 36.00, 2x50, Hs 87
In Pakistan - 6 inn, 201 runs at 33.50, 1x100, Hs 100
In Sri Lanka - 5 inn, 96 runs at 24.00, Hs 45*
