England great Kevin Pietersen has stirred a fresh debate by claiming that batting in the current era is “way easier” than it was 20-25 years ago, suggesting a decline in the quality of bowling across Test-playing nations.
Pietersen’s comments came a day after fellow England batter Joe Root overtook Australia great Ricky Ponting to climb to second place in the all-time list of Test run scorers. “Don’t shout at me but batting these days is way easier than 20-25 years ago! Probably twice as hard back then!,” Pietersen wrote on X on Saturday.
