Retired Australian fast-bowler Glenn McGrath gave his opinion on the recent accusations made by Kevin Pietersen on Andy Flower and Matt Prior. McGrath said that Pietersen liked attention from the media, and also recalled his favorite moment while bowling to him.

“I was a little bit surprised with how hard he’s gone at some of his team-mates, but at the end of the day, KP likes to be in the news, he likes the attention and the controversy,” McGrath was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.

“There was a one-dayer at Melbourne where he just kept charging me every ball, and I told him not to get too predictable. Then I snuck one through and cracked one of his ribs – I don’t think he could believe I was quick enough to break his rib. That one’s in my top five when it comes to KP – probably my number one.”, he added.
