Simon Barnes writes in the Times that the reason behind Kevin Pietersen's success is his ability to adapt, his ambition and his relentless pursuit of success.
Pointless to ask whether Pietersen has achieved these things (establish a college of senior players, instill a culture of shared responsibility, get Flintoff and Harmison back near their best) in spite of or because of his narcissism. Pietersen is aware that what matters in sport is success and he is prepared to do anything it takes to be successful. And if that involves thinking about other people, well, he's even prepared to go to these extreme lengths.
