From the moment Kevin Pietersen walked out on South African cricket in protest at their selection policy it was clear the batsman's sublime skills would often be overshadowed by his penchant for emotional gestures generated by self-interest.
Now that dangerously narcissistic element of Pietersen's personality, which has landed him in hot water so many times in his troubled career, has come back to haunt him again in spectacular fashion.
Pietersen is by far England's most naturally gifted strokemaker, but his international career lies in tatters after a dramatic week that started with allegations he sent text messages to South African players containing derogatory comments about English captain Andrew Strauss and coach Andy Flower.
