213 Unbeaten Pietersen was its first three figure in test cricket for England for 19 months, note a lean period which led to him be removed from the team at the end of last summer's day.
England hope is a career defining sleeves for Pietersen and finally put to bed a dismal period that began with his dismissal as captain, nearly two years ago.
"It was not the best time", he said. "You go in your career and have good things and bad things." I have had many good things fortunately but a little bad things. Fortunately, who is gone now and I look forward to.
"I love the opportunity to large and myself hard against the best players in the world." Has been quite difficult for 18 months, it's a challenge for me to really look forward to and I love the fact that it goes so well here. I myself has set high standards.
"For 80, 90, 99 s or 50 and 60 does my head in." It was great when shot down a fine leg [to raise its century], but the State of the game was where someone should continue to play with a level head and we know that we must pursue and sure today was a day where we flows throughout the day putting in a great position to win this match test. »
Pietersen had monitored the nearly a combined 11 hours before having to fold then Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott two partnerships at the Gabba and here on Saturday. For a man who is a nervous energy beam, the wait was so.
"I found it more tiring waiting bat to stick to that long today", he said. "You can probably see how I first started I was trying to make 50 on five balls." It is time to wait. I've never done in my career before, but it is great watching others and long may it continue as all our batter is nick. We will be win many games stay of our batters in nick like this. »
The Australia are now praying for rain, an event that is so rare in Adelaide Ian Chappell believed he saw only two days lost items here in 25 years.
"We will now be see what we're made," said Ricky Ponting. "They have shown us how bat and until their skills and their implementation were sensational." We emulate that and keep us in the game.
"This is an issue of confidence or morale." It is a little of everything. We have to learn that we were poorly last four or five days of test cricket.
