It combines the certainty with assault using a straight bat to the full effect and by lowering the soil in a workshop of master of the stroke.
With Ian Bell at its more commonly, Pietersen has shared a fourth-window stand that gave England, lead and more than a psychological advantage. As long the England score quickly today, they can win the series 2-0 before bad weather for Monday.
But as they are relentless in their pursuit of personal development, England is to examine how Dilhara Fernando managed the Club of his career-best score, save Sri Lanka from total embarrassment and purchase of precious time; How their Captain Andrew Strauss scored only 27 runs in his four rounds of this series. and how over-rate England for the sleeves of Sri Lanka was authorized to descend to 12.8 per hour.
On credit, which has been so impressive on Tremlett - as well as its speed and steep bounce - has been its accuracy. Throughout his Test career, in a few short phases, there "even" within three runs an over, which is remarkably economical.
Tremlett can Bowl short but never be large.
When England play the India, it is therefore imperative that Tremlett took the new ball, with James Anderson. Virender Sehwag is specialized in the attack from the outset, but not in the hook-shot. In his last round of Test, South Africa, Sehwag was reined back by bowling quick straight - with a third man to catch the slash.
Stuart Broad, taking the wicket remaining Sri Lanka with the ball of the 19th of the day, is bowling a good line, as Tremlett, but not a good length.
The Test team more macho in the world is not the same thing as the best Test team and often far removed. Broad aims to hit the top of the offstump with each ball, there will be change enough deliveries.
Well that broad is the form of England bowler, Strauss is the drummer from form. He managed to survive his first ball of the left - arm Chanaka Welegedara, but only by a few precarious whiskers. He left the ball when he should have played, and then played at a ball, he should have left and was caught by first slip.
Before playing in the nets, Strauss had faced Graham Gooch and Yousef seethed with resentment sidewinder tours his desk, which may have been exaggerating the threat of a constant, but nothing exceptional bowler - Welegedara, i.e. not Gooch.
In any event, the key word with Strauss is "challenge", and Sri Lanka - early season in England, without Lasit Malinga and Muttiah Muralitharan - not really constituted one.
The current ease of Cook and Jonathan Trott at the crease was struggles of Strauss watch even starker. Before lunch Suranga Lakmal Cook has beaten outside off the coast of the strain and he gloved a ball next bouncer: both beforehand and afterwards it was the normal service of a few selected strokes executed to perfection.
But then he Lakmal out-thought Trott using thinktank of his team by linking him to the bottom drawing in a drive.
A right arm pace bowler, armed with a new bullet, going round the window of a right on as often as Trott drummer throws his one stop away.
But this angle found the closest to a glitch in the technique of the Trott: when it leads to the broad front foot through extra-couverture, as he tried to do it now, it is not keeping its eye level.
Response of Pietersen in England being 14 for two was, as stock ball from Tremlett here, perfectly launched: aggressive but macho, calculated, pas also agile and precise: Dexter when will record.
First of all, Lakmal was driven to distraction and the long on boundary; then Thisara Perera was treated dismissively that the average rate was removed after a face; and even if Rangana Herath is a slow arm left, and he was the last more before lunch, Pietersen raced the wicket to drive.
Pietersen has even made the decision in afternoon of two hours, a value of session through to return to his right at the wheel, although Cook was shortly after tying the record for England.
Pietersen had received a standing ovation on his return to his ex-Accueil soil - a contrast to the huées pantomime which hosted elsewhere and another was given after he plating of a reader of disproportionate coverage.
A house full of 15,000 watched the proceedings on and off and processions and, for their patience, deserves more than a couple of roofs which, sheltering (two thirds of the Rose Bowl has been exposed to many elements).
Otherwise soil and especially the pitch came to scratch as a Test - as that Cardiff for the first Test of this series, if one wants to compare as with as of reference, although England if need for another reason, in addition to the six main sites, is another matter.
But in the ideal, for the spectators, a Test match should not involve a day provided for in the outside. Best of all is the ground where, if an exciting result emerges on the last day, people living and working in close proximity may also remove what they do and hasten to attend.
Anyone can participate in a ground of downtown only affluent suburban - and English Cricket seems just as happy already with its niche of middle class.
