kuala lumpur former australia captain steve waugh feels kevin pietersen who was dumped by the english cricket board had it coming the australian said pietersen had got enough chances before he was discarded i think he had enough strikes three strikes and youre out when youre the best player in the world you can get away with doing some of the things he did but he was no longer probably among the top 10 batsmen in the world waugh said and then he wasnt really buying into the team ethicwise or the culture and he ran out of chances he added but waugh has sympathy for another english batsman jonathan trott who retired midway through the ashes series in australia last year waugh said there are times in a cricketers life when everything around him looks negative all of a sudden youre stuck in a hotel room by yourself watching a tv show you dont really enjoy and ordering room service you dont really want and demons start getting in your head i think every sportspersons been there and when that builds up to a certain point youre like ive just got to get out of here waugh said he also added that there were times during his playing career when he too felt low it took me 13 test matches to be part of a winning side three and a half years to score my first century a lot of self doubt and a lot of time away from home i remember at times being in hotels where you had to wait three hours to get a phone call home and then youre on for 10 seconds and the phone line drops out youre feeling really home sick and things arent going well but that was all part of being a professional cricketer waugh said waugh is in kuala lumpur to attend the laureus world sports awards on wednesday as one of the brand ambassadors
