Pietersen loves this particular patch of south London. It was here that he hit that… Full Story »

England's recent tendency for batting collapses is a worry, but the problem is as much psychological as technical It is a worry when a team collapses twice in short succession. If they do it three times then that suggests they have real problems. In this series England lost six wickets for 17 runs at Trent Bridge, seven for 46 at Edgbaston and seven for 28 at The Oval. All credit to the Pakistani bowlers, but they were not responsible in 2009 when England were… Full Story »
