Kevin Pietersen raises expectations

Kevin Pietersen was the only England batsman to score a hundred who we didn't write about during the last Test. Yesterday, both he and Michael Vaughan scored hundreds and we're obviously more inclined to write about Michael Vaughan.

A Kevin Pietersen hundred doesn't seem to be a big deal. If someone else scores a hundred, you expect Kevin Pietersen to score a hundred as well. It's only remarkable when he fails.

Some batsman.
