[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1059893, member: 72205"] Pietersen is actually more fine than most people give it credit for, although he's never been shy of saying he felt he had to leave the SA system to get to international level at the time it was only self belief he was good enough. The England players at the time remember him coming up to him and them just thinking he was nowhere near good enough as he was a fairly average spin bowler. But he went on the play three years of domestic Cricket in England (with an English mother) before being selected for England. Its in those years he came into his own as a batsman. He never played for SA at age grade or any form of international level. I think there have been plenty of other players who have qualified under similar circumstances in other sports but aren't as open to why they 'changed sides'. [/QUOTE]
