Stanford T20: Pietersen sidesteps controversies

Amidst increasing excitement at the "million dollars a player winner takes all" format of the one off T20 Standford challenge England Captain Kevin Pietersen says that he and his team will only be focusing on the cricket at hand and ignoring the recent controversies . Pietersen said that he would not blame a teammate if they made a mistake that cost England the money. James Anderson was the most highprofile omission from the England team . Pietersen said it was “one of the hardest decisions I've had to make". Antigua Nov 2008
