Kevin Pietersen, even though he had not the best part of two years, 100 entered into Adelaide review with 16 and an appetite for more.
Visit the Pietersen has been a smooth progression from the moment where that it has started 58 and 35 against the Australia. He has not played the flamant stroke and yet his signature shot played by midwicket leg.
But then only standing on one leg when they are resting flamingos and Pietersen still clearly love angels, as well as showing plumage.
Pietersen had casts with exceptional calm at the Gabba, taking Britain score-117 for two with Cook, that he had edged a Peter Siddle drive.
He then wait for 11 hours for his next sleeves, whereas Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott added 329 runs uninterrupted in the first test, partnered 173 tracks followed in the second. This is quite a wait, but 30 Pietersen has learned a lot about waiting.
He and Cook had a mutual admiration society since Cook said that he wished he had beaten the Pietersen and Pietersen said that he wished he had patience sound.
Little by little the two have come close together, the original defensive lefthander and righthander attacking, for the benefit of England.
First round of the Pietersen has been relatively reasonable: thrust in a gap in the covers off the coast of his first shot right in mid - on and a dash headlong, as was his wont not blow.
And, at the end of the day, it was not news to reach hundreds but merely play for the next day.
In the meantime Pietersen may not in England a favor, but it could not be helped. Australia selectors should have realized by now Xavier Doherty is not a melon test. His record speaks for itself: it takes its first class - ATMs as they are - in 50 years runs each.
True, Pietersen was once have trouble with arm left tops, but now no more than anyone else. He has used its buffer before planting and working leg against spin; now, he retains his leg before and readers across the offside.
Pietersen marked 31 flows 36 balls Doherty ousted on day two and only once he nothing less that the command completes, when he landed on the ground and line thickness reader on the cover.
Otherwise, this series has gone, the Doherty more appeared to realize that it was not until red-ball test cricket, all white-ball one day confinement; or and Nathan Hauritz gave way to Doherty, last week took five wickets in a round of New South Wales, in Perth, the third test site.
Hauritz will be certainly be floating its offbreaks in Fremantle Doctor with the next batch of pacemen who try the Australia selectors.
Balance appears to have taken the Pietersen life if it is in the fold or outside of the scope. It brings as well as Jonathan Trott, by the bias of the legside and Mike Hussey through the offside. He knows when to strike instead of trying to find all the time.
It would be an exaggeration to say that Pietersen has softened completely as a cricket player. He attempted a stupid throw at the Gabba would never exhausted a drummer and gave four reversal, but these wild shies are much less likely that they were used, because it has become a human team.
Therefore if Strauss does not define a new England for centuries test record Pietersen - three years his junior - will certainly be. This visit has proved flame still exists in it, but other is no longer likely to be burned.
And over time, of course, Cook take recording. It has the great advantage of not being one of the more than 20 of the England players, or even a 50-plus one at present, although it may be open in internationals after Strauss moves.
In the meantime, even though most of its peers as Pietersen plays each format, Cook has the luxury of being able to specialize.
