Kevin Pietersen and Shaun Pollock discuss plans for coffee

Pietersen and Pollock were busy on Twitter while India were busy whitewashing Australia

Such is the beauty of Twitter that it doesn’t take too much to make an entertaining conversation between two former or current athletes. Social media has reduced distances, broken down barriers that previously existed and created a platform for engaging conversation.

Topping that list is certainly Kevin Pietersen. He might not be playing for England but he has been tearing apart the form book across various T20 competitions around the world. Most recently, it was the Big Bash League and before that it was in the Ram Slam T20 Challenge.

When he is not making news on the pitch, with the bat in his hand, he makes plenty off it, with his exchanges with cricketers and even fans on Twitter. His banter with his Melbourne stars teammate James Faulkner are testament to that.
