Mitchell Johnson and Kevin Pietersen were intense rivals on the field and though it has been a few years since they last meet – in the last Ashes Down Under – they are not giving up on hostilities anytime soon. Hey @KP24 @MichaelVaughan yesterday were carrying on about the pommy fast bowlers being able to bowl in the 140’s.

The verbal joust ended in a bizzare fashion with Pietersen blocking Johnson. Pietersen had previously called out compatriot Andrew Strauss for his comments on the Johnny Bairstow ‘head butt’ row on Twitter, reigniting the long-standing feud between them.
