Kevin Pietersen has once again criticised county cricket in response to a tweet from the Barmy Army which shows Rory Burns bowling for Surrey in their County Championship clash with Warwickshire.

Burns, who has taken only two wickets in his career, bowled five overs of gentle medium pace in Warwickshire's second innings. And the Barmy Army shared a clip of Burns bowling on social media, writing: "Rory Burns bowling with his hair down on a cold April day in Birmingham. The County Championship is back"

Pietersen then quote tweeted the clip and wrote: "Hey world, this is County Cricket!" Pietersen has been highly critical of the state of county cricket in the wake of England's humiliating 4-0 Ashes defeat.
