Media mauling

The media mauling of Australia continues! This is a real treat. Ricky has now warned Pietersen, saying, "I'm sure his techniques will be tested out a lot differently in the longer version." Tested? What, like the thorough examination your bowlers give when spraying deliveries around so much their overs turn into 11-ball epics? Scary.
