Kevin Pietersen may still be on crutches but he is asking the England cricketers to lose them as the final Test approaches.
england team for oval
Kevin Pietersen believes what England needs for the fifth and final Test of the Ashes at the Oval is heroes who can overcome the fact that irrespective of what has happened in the past and whether they have failed in the past or succeeded, would be able to bring their best game to the field come Thursday.
He also stated that Andrew Flintoff proves a great example on how to react to such situations and the raise the bar of the game by believing they could do it for England.
While he encouraged the cricketers to ignore the media's comments on the forthcoming match, he also stated that he would not be passing on any advice because he believed the team had it in them to prepare for the match on their own.
KP urged his mates by stating that there was nothing more relevant than winning the Ashes for England and it was time to be counted amongst the greats.
