England have managed to win the CB Series without their main batsman, Kevin Pietersen, but he will be back for the World Cup. Since leaving the tour with a broken rib he's been back in London and spotted a number of celeb hot-spots with Jessica Taylor, his fiancé. There were rumours that he may have flown back out to Australia for the finals, but remained back in London. Paul Kimmage, from the Sunday Times, caught up with him and in the interview Pietersen reveals what it was like being beaten 5-0 in the Ashes...among other things.
You drive to the ground and you’ve all these Aussies swearing, ‘Five-nil’ at you. You get to the one-dayers and the first sign you see at the Twenty20 game is ‘Six-nil’. Mentally it just kills you, it really finishes you off. Somebody just has to tip at you, and if you’ve had a bad day, well . . . and to be fair, we didn’t have many good days, so it was hard, really hard
