You&#39;ve got people in the stands taking the mickey out of him, wearing masks and fake glasses. Commentators are talking about his Specsavers deal,&quot; Pietersen wrote for online bookmaker Betway.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;England are losing an Ashes series and he&#39;s only taken eight wickets at 30 in three Test matches. It doesn&#39;t look like he&#39;s troubled anyone,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Now I&#39;m not saying that you don&#39;t do these things. It can be good for team spirit to have a bit of fun. But, from my side, I want to win. I don&#39;t want to see the crowd talking about how funny he is. I want to see him winning matches for England with his bowling,&quot; the 39-year-old expressed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pietersen also questioned if Jason Roy could make it as a Test batsman. &quot;I&#39;m not saying he can&#39;t get there. I think he&#39;s an amazing player. But he needs to sort out his technique - it isn&#39;t good enough for Test cricket,&quot; he concluded.<\/p>\r\n",
