“Law needed against KP’s switch hit”

Gary Kristen the Indian coach felt the switch hit practiced by pietersen puts bowlers in a disadvantageous position.

"It’s unbelievable. He is a master of the shot. I think he hits it harder than my sweep," said the India coach.

"But I think we have to do something about the law of the game, because it’s a big advantage for the batsman and a disadvantage for the bowlers," he said.

"I bring in sweep shot when fielders are in certain positions, when you pack the leg-side the scoring options are on the off-side. It’s then I bat left-handed. That’s how I did it in ODIs and that’s what I do in Tests. I don’t see it as a risky shot but a scoring option," he explained.
