KP feels confident after warm-up knock

Kevin Pietersen believes he is hitting his best form at just the right time with the Ashes series against Australia just a couple of weeks away.

Kevin Pietersen believes he is hitting his best form at just the right time with the Ashes series against Australia just a couple of weeks away. He was dropped by England for the Twenty20 and one-day series against Pakistan in September after a poor run of form.

Playing back in South Africa had rejuvenated him,Pietersen said after top-scoring with 58 in England’s first innings in the three-day tour match against Western Australia in Perth.

“I’ve never really been a technical player. I play like a clown,” Pietersen,who added a quickfire 35 in 22 balls

in the successful run-chase for victory on Sunday,told England’s website. “It’s just my mental approach that I needed to change,just get a load of confidence back,and I’m on fire at the moment. I’m looking forward now,I’m not interested in what’s gone. I’m very happy with what’s happening at the moment. I came back from South Africa for a couple of weeks,and I feel top drawer again,” the 30-year-old added. “I hope there’s plenty more to come this winter.”
