Kevin Pietersen has laughed off criticism aimed at him by John Buchanan, describing the former Australia coach as "a nobody"
Kevin Pietersen has laughed off criticism aimed at him by John Buchanan, describing the former Australia coach as "a nobody".
Buchanan, who won three out of four Ashes series during his six-year stint with Australia, described Pietersen as potential weak link which the hosts could exploit when the battle for the famous urn begins in Brisbane on November 25. But Pietersen, who will fly out with the rest of the England squad to Australia on Friday, paid short shrift to the Australian's comments, saying: "I didn't react to it (Buchanan's comments) because it was strange that he made headlines. I'm not interested in what he has to say. Who is he? He's a nobody."
He added: "He had the best team to coach in the history of cricket. Anyone could have coached that team. He has done nothing else solid so I won't even take it with a pinch of salt."
Pietersen returned to South Africa last month as he attempted to re-discover the form which he demonstrated when he announced his arrival on the international stage with a series of stunning displays in 2005.
