Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E wehi ana a Andrew Flintoff kei te 'katoa te wā' a Kevin Pietersen ki te whakaara ake i tana mahi Ingarangi. I a Flintoff, e korero ana i te whakarewatanga o te NatWest T20 a te Poari Kirikiti o Ingarangi me Wales, ka kite i te raumati marama me te heke mai pumau mo te 'tino pea ko te whakataetae nui' i tenei whenua. He iti ake te whakapono o te kaitakaro katoa i toa i te Ashes e rua, ahakoa, mo nga tumanakohanga a Pietersen ki te akiaki i tana huarahi ki te whakataetae Whakamatau. I eke a Kevin Pietersen ki te 170 mō Surrey i te kapa The Parks i a ia e whai ana kia whakahokia mai ia ki te kapa Ingarangi. Ko te whetu o Ingarangi o mua a Andrew Flintoff e whakaaro ana kei te pau te wa mo Pietersen ki te whakaara ake i tana mahi Ingarangi. E toru kē ngā wikitoria a Pietersen i te raupapa o te Puka i runga i tana CV, engari ka 35 ōna tau i mua i te tīmatanga o te tau 2015, ā, e mōhio ana a Flintoff kāore i a ia te pakeke i tōna taha. Ko te kaitakaro rekoata tautohetohe kua nui ake i nga whakaritenga mai i te wa i peia ai ia 14 marama ki muri i te whiunga o te kapa Alastair Cook 5-0 i Ahitereiria, engari kua kaha te ngakau mai i nga tohu a te tiamana o te ECB a Colin Graves e kii ana tera pea he huarahi ki muri. Kua korero a Pietersen me tana kaihoko mo te 'whakarite ma' i whakaatuhia ki a ia, a ka timata ia ki te whakahou i tana keehi ma te patu i te 170 ki a MCCU Oxford i tana innings whero tuatahi mo Surrey mai i te Pipiri 2013. Heoi anō, e āwangawanga ana a Flintoff kāore he tūranga wātea mō Pietersen. 'He kaitakaro whakamiharo ia, engari kaore he tangata e haere noa ana ki tetahi kapa - ina koa ko te kapa Ingarangi, 'Kua hoki mai ahau, kei konei ahau, kei te purei ahau',' i kii a Flintoff ki te Press Association Sport. Kua wikitoria a Ingarangi i a raatau Whakamatau e toru i raro i a Cook, i mua i te Ipu o te Ao pouri, a ka mau ki te toru o nga tohu tuatahi i te tukinga tuatahi o te toru i te West Indies. Kāore a Pietersen i puta mō Ingarangi mai i tana wehenga i te 14 marama ki muri. He uaua ki te tautuhi i tētahi i roto i to rātau raupapa waenganui e tika ana kia whakarerea, i runga i te puka o nāianei. 'Ko wai o ratou e mea koe "e kore koe e tākaro!" hoki Kevin ki te haere mai i roto i? ' Ka mea a Flintoff. Ki taku whakaaro kei te pau te wā o Kevin. 'Mēnā i tīmata ia i te...
I peia a Kevin Pietersen e Ingarangi i te 14 marama ki muri i te hinganga o te Puka. I eke a Bateman ki te 170 i tana hokinga kirikiti rohe mo Surrey i te wiki kua hipa. Kei te hiahia a Pietersen ki te hoki whakamīharo ki te taha o Ingarangi i tēnei tau. Engari e whakaaro ana a Andrew Flintoff kei te pau te wā ki a ia ki te whakaara anō i tana mahi.
