Pietersen revels in his coronation 5:04pm on 04 Aug 2008 I am sitting here in London, in depressed silence, after having read the news that Kevin Pieterson is now England captain. His interview with his pseudo english accent (obviously having spent lots of time in elocution lessons) just grated especially as he brushed off any mention of his nationality. At first I thought 'what a tw*t', then I started to think.

I have just had a conversation with my mother-in-law on the inevitable whether we should return or not to return saga. She said that there was now a steady stream of people leaving SA, friends that had critisised them when they had left (in the 80's for a few years) where now coming over to the UK to 'look around'. Yesterday I met someone whose father had gleefully announced to her that her brother was coming over to the UK and now he can rest as 'both his children where out of the country'.

Maybe KP is not a traitor to his country, afterall he left to pursue opportunities as there were none for him at home. He has reached the ultimate success, not only has he assimilated into his new country, he has become so integrated he is now considered one of their own, leading their cricket side.

He is just the most successful of us all that have come over looking for new opportunities here. .

This is heartbreaking reality of most of us that are over here.
