He's been a promising addition to the Channel Nine commentary box but Kevin Pietersen found himself stuck in a rut on day two of the First Test - and cricket viewers couldn't help but notice.
As Australia searched for wickets in the evening session - having thrown away control of the match with a disastrous collapse - a large crack developed in the middle of the WACA pitch.
KP wanted the home side to target it. Actually not target it, penetrate it. Penetrate it to within an inch of its life.
"What we're talking about is the penetration of that crack," said Pietersen, as a graphic showed how seamers Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Marsh were failing to land any deliveries directly targeting the stumps.
But the Aussies failed to act and in his next stint alongside Michael Slater, Pietersen revived the topic. "The Aussies just haven't penetrated the crack enough," Pietersen continued.
