Pietersen innings reminds me of Lara - Donald

Former South African fast bowling great Allan Donald compared Kevin Pietersen to West Indian legend Brian Lara after the England batsman hit his team back into the game with a spectacular century on the third day of the second Test at Headingley on Saturday.
Pietersen launched a savage assault after tea, hitting 149 not out as England reached 351 for five at the close, 68 behind South Africa's first innings total of 419.

"He played seriously well,It reminds me of when I ran into Brian Lara, something in the category of a bit of a genius to play knocks like that."said Donald, South Africa's bowling coach after the 3rd days play.

Pietersen said he was flattered to hear that Donald had compared him to Lara.
"Allan Donald was one of my heroes growing up, so that's special," he said.
Pietersen also said his last two centuries, one in extreme heat against Sri Lanka in Colombo and this one against an unbelievable bowling attack, were the best two of his Test career.
