LONDON: Kevin Pietersen’s innovative switch hitting has brought him under the scope of the guardians of cricket’s rules and regulations. The Marylebone Cricket Club will meet at Lord’s on Tuesday to discuss the legality of the improvised shots at the request of the International Cricket Council, MCC media officer Abi Carter said. Pietersen changed his grip and his stance — from a right-hander to a left-hander — while Scott Styris was in his delivery stride and hit two sixes over cover and long-off in England’s 114-run win over New Zealand on Sunday at Durham. The sixes drew criticism from analysts including West Indies fast bowling great Michael Holding. Those opposed to his switch hitting argue that if a batsman can change his stance without notifying the umpire or fielding team, then a bowler should be allowed dispensations on run ups and for wides. — AP
