Challenges and opportunities ahead for Pietersen Updated - 12/3/2010 - cricinfo.com.
The last few months have been tough ones for Kevin Pietersen. He used to be the strongest suit in England’s middle order, but over the last nine months or so his form has dipped so significantly that most bowlers would fancy their chances against him today. In his last 13 Test innings - since May last year - he has managed just two half-centuries at an average of a touch more than 29. During this period his Test average has dropped almost three runs, from 51.09 to 48.24. His ODI form has been even more disappointing over the last year. In 10 innings he has a highest of 48 and an average of 17.30. This includes his three innings on the current tour to Bangladesh, where he scored 41 in total. The forthcoming two-Test series is thus a huge challenge for Pietersen, but also a superb opportunity to get his form back. The bowling attack may be relatively feeble on paper, but Bangladesh have proved that they have the resources to surprise opposition, especially in home conditions. For proof you need to go back no further than a couple of months, when a powerful Indian batting line-up folded for 243 in the first innings in Chittagong.
