Vaughan slams PietersenFormer England cricket captain Michael Vaughan has slammed Kevin Pietersen for the way he revealed his omission from the England one-day international and Twenty20 squads.Pietersen revealed the fact that he had been dropped through his twitter page and this was completely unacceptable according to the former England leader. Pietersen also revealed that he would start playing for Surrey while he was not on England duty.It's very easy to see why Pietersen may have felt very frustrated and leaked the news as soon as he could. He has been a main part of the England side for a long time and it's now up to him to get some form ahead of the winter Ashes tour in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.There are many reasons why Pietersen should have thought for longer and harder over how he revealed the news. There is now going to be much more focus on pressure on him to win back his place in the England team.Should have thought twicePietersen should have thought twice about the way he was revealing the news because he is still one of the most charismatic and respected players in English cricket.Twitter is one of the social networking mediums that many sports have now banned professional players from using. It proves that Pietersen may have let his frustrations get the better of him as he may not have paid attention to strict England rules and regulations.It would have been much better for the player if he had come out and done a public interview revealing all of the news in a very honest and open way. This would have let people judge his state of mind for themselves and he could have stated his intent to right the wrongs of his recent playing career.Vaughan said: "What he did on his Twitter account was totally wrong. I think that's something Kevin will regret for a long time. I actually think that England have managed it in a good way. They feel that he needs more cricket and a couple of four-day games rather than playing the one-day series against Pakistan."A chanceIt has been pretty obvious to any cricket fan that Pietersen has been in the worst form of his life over the last year and a half. Rather than feeling frustrated, he should be grateful that the England management have given him a chance to find some form before heading off to Australia.This will allow him to get valuable playing time and big-run games under his belt. This will give him plenty of confidence and if he can make some big hundreds for Surrey then he will know that he's not lost any part of his talent and ability on the domestic scene.Vaughan added: "I don't see it as a dropping. I just see it as the management of a player who needs to be playing more of the longer format of the game than the one day to try to get him into some kind of form leading into the winter. I'm sure there will elements of the crowd watching and wondering whether this one-day series against England should be going ahead."Betting advicehttp://www.senore.com/Cricket/Surrey-c851 stands a much better chance of winning games now that they have Pietersen in their team. Back him to score big hundreds in the four-day version of the county game. Surrey play in division two so Pietersen is likely to encounter some very mediocre bowling attacks.England won't suffer without him as it looks more and more likely that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 will drop quality players involved in a match fixing scandal ahead of the one-day and T20 series.
