Sledging Kevin Pietersen

So I was having a browse through some pictures of the 5th ODI, as you do when your team finally bloody wins something, and I came across this picture:

The caption below said this:

An Australian fan verbally abuses Kevin Pietersen of England during game four of the Commonwealth Bank One Day International Series between Australia and England at The Gabba on January 30, 2011 in Brisbane, Australia.

Now, as it happens, I was sitting next to this young man (at game 5 it was, I believe) and heard everything that was said. I feel the need to defend him. What he actually said was this:

Hey, Kevo - I think you're sweet like a big, brown teddy bear. I also admire you a great deal because you can play cricket better than me. I bet your middle finger is also longer than mine. Can we go for muffins and check?

See, absolutely nothing abusive there at all. I really hate it when the media behaves like a bunch of arseholes about stuff like this.
