Cricket Web - Features: A Man Adrift

As England celebrated the 2013 Ashes victory, one man wandered the outfield alone. It was a sign of things to come for Kevin Pietersen.

Nice piece Martyn. Where would you rank him in the pantheon of England batsmen?

In my time, he's the best. I don't profess to be as well read on the historical side as some of our more esteemed members but he'd surely have a case to make our best XI

The frustrating thing is he could have been better.

Probably capable of playing a better innings than the vast majority of his contemporary peers but more likely to frustrate than a Clarke or Sangakarra

I hadn't noticed the increasing isolation from teammates - sounds like he's ended up rather like Robin Friday did, though he's not as talented, obviously
