Kevin Pietersen

Kevin Peter Pietersen (born 27 June 1980 in Pietermaritzburg, Natal, South Africa) is a cricketer - an attacking right-handed batsman who plays for England and Hampshire. After England's 2005 Ashes triumph, the nickname KP is used to refer to Pietersen across the country.

Personality

Lofty Pietersen (he is 6'4) is reported to have a vibrant, self-assured personality. Geoff Boycott, writing in the Daily Telegraph a few days before Pietersen's 158 score in the final 2005 Ashes test, described him as "cocky and confident". Pietersen's unusual haircuts have provoked much comment. His "skunk" look - a peroxide blonde dyed streak of hair running along the middle of his head - of September 2005 provided the source of much entertainment for the media, including a gag on popular TV show Soccer AM. Since splitting with girlfriend Natalie Pinkham in September 2005, he has been romantically linked to hotel heiress Paris Hilton http://entertainment.iafrica.com/news/493256.htm, and, as of October 2005, supermodel Caprice Bourret. http://www.paramountcomedy.com/news/news/article.aspx?id=404
