Today we’re getting to know the man, the myth, the legend that is international cricket star
Kevin 'KP' Pieterson, a whole lot better.
In this episode of 'Who’s In The Car', I’m going to try and bring KP down a notch or two
with a few surprises..
To give me a hand I have signed up his arch nemesis Peter Siddle.
And the great man doesn’t have a clue.
Let’s start the show.
Don’t you look at my list!
I am
are you looking at my list?
Yep.
(Laughs)
Keep your eyes to yourself!
(Laughs)
You’re so disobedient South Africa!
Just drive, just drive.
So why didn’t you ever try and play for Australia?
Like, were you not good enough?
Cause I don’t have any- I don’t have any affiliation to Australia.
It would have been annoying for a South African to be your best player.
Very annoying.
We wouldn’t like that.
No you wouldn’t have liked that.
Tell me about sledging?
Sledging…Is what Australians call mental disintegration.
So kind of, like, heckling? It's like a heckling
Yeah, it's like heckling.
I could start telling you about your driving and how unsafe I feel in this car right now.
Ok.
And is that a fact, do you feel unsafe?
Well, I don’t feel great, no.
I’ve seen some pretty bad hairdo's of yours…
I googled you.
Shocking.
What were you thinking with the blonde strip…?
You know what, I don’t know.
Did you lose a bet or?
I just, I was…yeah I just had a real bad…bad 6 months.
Do you think you would ever do that style again?
I can’t.
I don’t want to.
What if I produced a perfectly…
Oh wow…
…accurate replica?
How long do you think that you would wear that for?
(Laughs)
Look at this…
Isn’t it great?
It doesn't fit.
Oh my god you look just as bad!
(Laughs) (Laughs)
Did you get any ladies in that time?
Did I?
Yeah.
Pretty good.
Did pretty good?
Pretty good run…
Yeah, That’s surprising.
Mostly blind ladies?
Yeah and old.
Very old.
I went blue actually, they enjoyed the blue rinse, had a blue rinse.
Warnie actually barracked me at a test match in Manchester, what about this blue rinse?
How old are you?
What are you doing?
(Laughs)
Whenever you are done on your phone…
Yeah.
Done on your phone yet?
Sorry.
Apologies.
I don’t know anything about cricket.
Tell me, what is a ‘bunny’?
If you get out to somebody as a batsman on a regular occasion
they then label you somebody’s bunny.
Ok.
Who are you a bunny to?
Famously in Australia, Siddle.
I felt sorry for him.
I tried to keep in the Australian side.
That was my charity work for Australian cricket
and for Peter Siddle.
Oh, you are so thoughtful.
Correct.
Very thoughtful.
You’re a ***.
(Laughs)
Look at this weirdo.
We got a weirdo here.
Let’s give him a sledge
Oh you’re a d***head.
(Laughs)
Hey!
Hello Kev!
How are you mate?
How are you?
Hello.
Who’s your mate?
This is my little bunny.
This is Kevin!
(Laughs)
You haven’t heard what I’ve said?
You haven’t heard what I’ve said?
I haven't, no.
It's quite funny.
Come on get out one more time for him.
Can I make…can I make that call again.
Get out one more time – oh well done.
(Laughs) Very good.
Here you go mate.
Thank you so much for joining us!
No worries.
I love you already!
Look at him.
He knows how to smile!
I agree.
have you seen this?
I love being in here with Kevin.
You’re talking about the bunny I assume?
Yeah.
Not this loser in the back.
Nah, that’s KP.
He used to try and pick on me.
Mate, I was the greatest charity.
You should be thanking me.
Charity!?
Lets’ talk about all the times you got him out.
Do you remember any of these times?
I do.
I usually carry around a little list.
Sorry?
Its’ got ten points…
...on the list.
ten...?
Yeah.
Can you run me through them please?
I’d love to.
Lords 2009.
How?
Outside edge.
Second innings.
That game as well.
Exactly the same.
Then we came to Brisbane, first innings.
Then we moved on to Melbourne.
Actually bowled him in that game too.
Bowled me?!
Clean bowled.
Shut up.
Oh you’re very good!
Kevin made me look so good.
Greatest charity of my career.
In Nottingham.
Nottingham?
2013.
Standard. Outside edge.
Sounds like you had a lot of bad days.
Lot of bad days.
And then we were back to Lords.
Sucked him in, little out swinger.
What am I doing?!
Well you’re not doing much by the sounds of it.
No.
Should’ve bowled him there all the time.
And then we moved on to Manchester at the back end of that series. Caught behind.
I don’t remember that.
But then there was the grand finale, it was in Perth.
That was a good catch.
Johnson caught me at mid on.
That was a good catch.
See, he does remember it.
Yeah, I know He makes out he doesn’t want to remember it.
Give me something Sids!
No, you get nothing!
Look at your exciting shop talk, but look at where we are.
Where?
We got some nets here.
Have we?
Yeah.
So why don’t we see who's still got their edge?
(laughs) Let’s go.
Let’s go test out the nets.
Do it.
Let’s go Sidsy.
Take your friend.
Don’t forget my friend.
Let’s go Kev, like the good old days, ay?
Oh, the charity that was me giving you test wickets.
(laughs) It’s not going to happen here bud,
Let me tell you.
Oh, we’ll see about that.
You’re going to get whacked.
We just got to know peter Siddle and his bunny a whole lot better
I wonder if they have retirement villages for cricketers?
I guess that’s just the commentary box.
You know, the folks at Youi, they pay me to do this, but if you're looking for car and
home insurance they could save you lots.
