Answer 3

prly more than once

Answer 4

Every single player of England and Australia(remembers the test series between them and Indain team)needs at least 5 times to be declared out.  

Answer 5

You know as well as i do, that it has nothing to do with the umpires being biased towards Kevin Pietersen.

I agree with you though, Pietersen got away with 2 decisions, that on another day would have been out.

The Botha LBW shout, was out it struck him inline and it was going on to hit the stumps, the only doubt would be if it hit him outside the line or not.

The Philander LBW shout was less obvious, although it looked straight, height was definitely an issue, and to be honest its always a lottery to see if them decisions are out or not.

If you want to see biasedness, look at the Beijing Olympics and see that China seem to get all the advantages ahead of every other country!!

One reason why the umpire might not have thought KP was out, was because quite often KP goes so far accross his stumps that he actually gets outside the line of Off-stump. Some players have reputations in world cricket, Pietersen definitely is hard to get out LBW because of his long stride and his movement.

Even you have to admit that England were the better team on the day.

and i was THERE!! woooo!!

Answer 6

Until the umpire gives him out. Always accept the umpire's decision.
