Wisden slams Pietersen in its 150th edition

England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has come under attack in the 150th edition of Wisden Almanack, which has described his behaviour as arrogant during South Africa-England series last year

The Surrey batsman was cast into international exile last August after sending text messages to touring South African players that contained criticism of then-England captain Andrew Strauss during the Test series.

Lawrence Booth, in his Notes by the editor in the Almanack, said the big money which Pietersen had secured with his contract to play in the Indian Premier League, made him courageous enough to not honour his contractual obligations.
