    Now you all know I know Fug all about Cricket but David Lloyd who commentates for SKY & is in fact a Fully qualified umpire said it's perfectly Legal so there you go.

    The relevant rule is 36.3 which says something to the effect that the umpire takes the batsman's stance at the moment the bowler starts his run-up, not at the point when he bowls, or at the point at which it arrives. Therefore Pietersen was not breaking the law.
