England cricketer Kevin Pietersen was on Tuesday awarded
undisclosed libel damages over an advertisement that suggested he had
tampered with his bat during this year’s Ashes series against Australia.The advert for opticians
Specsavers
showed a picture of the batsman alongside the statement: “Bat tampering
in the Ashes? Apparently Hot Spot should’ve gone to Specsavers.”Pietersen
was accused by an Australian television channel of using silicone tape
during the series to prevent the Hot Spot decision-review technology
from detecting when he had hit the ball, but he denied the allegations. —
