That was well calculated sweep reverse -sweep. Just simply brillaint batting. KP was wayyyy past his hundred when he played that shot as well.

No comparison to his brain failure shots vs Hauritz @ Cardiff & Benn @ Kingston.
What you are doing is judging his decisions by the results. If he had've missed it, everyone would be replaying it for years talking about how stupid he looked and it would be a huge brain explosion. It was purely an ego shot.

Obviously the fact that England were in a dominant position made the shot a bit more tenable.

To clear it up, it was after that Test that his record was highlighted in the fourth innings, leading into the Test vs Pakistan in Melbourne.
