My journalist friend called me just now to tell me to expect a Major announcement tommorrow at Lords around 11ish regarding the England Captaincy.
Cook ODI captain? Or even KP?
-
Journo friend or Michael Vaughan on Twitter? ;)
I hope KP gets it

Ha I should really follow Vaughan on twitter.
He works backroom for the daily mail, nothing major but always good for gossip!
-
This is ridiculous - why is Strauss going (which I assume is the news)? He's one of our better ODI batters,and there really isn't a credible alternative - KP? I hope not, he's a complete dil in front of the press, and wants to give up ODI's anyway.
We had a sh*t WC - not Straussy's fault, blame the whole squad and the selectors, plus the fatigue in key players.
Nonsense!

-
How can they give the captaincy to someone who isn't even a ODI regular ?
-
Because to be fair, he is in the top 2 opening batsmen in the country, shorter form as well as the longer form.
-
He also spoke about players going on strike recently if the itinery wasn't changed (Cook)
-
Strauss to carry on ODI, who cares about 20/20, does it make much odds?
-
It does now were champs ha
-
Mark Nicholls comments and spot in the cricketer told the whole odi story i think
We can not moan at being poor in odi 50 over cricket when it is not a format we play at domestic level
-
I think they should quit moaning about too much cricket, it's a dream job!
Id never complain, especially in county cricket because they get 6 months off
They knew there would be long tours, I'm sure there is plenty of other career choices if they don't like it
-
I think it's more the time away from your family more than the workload as that can be a lot to bear not seeing your kids for 4 months at a time
-
I know that, but it wad inevitably going to happen and they know that, if I'm honest for at least some point families should come with them
-
school's and normal life????
-
So I've just got in and Cook is going to be named the new ODI captain (according to SSN) and collingwood is going to retire as T20 captain? Who's going to take that over? KP? IB? Who knows...?
-
Also what I found interesting is that AF stayed with England rather than India, so I guess he's had some say on the captaincy/selection on other players?
-
Just for the record I think Cook is a very improved one day player and from the performances he's given for Essex in recent times he's shown the selectors he means business, however I feel as though Strauss has come on massively as an ODI player in recent times.
If Strauss gives the captaincy away, I don't know who I would want as captain as I feel as though with Cook coming in it would make Strauss surplus to requirements which he definately isnt, especially when you take the Indian innings into account (probably one of the best ODI batting performances I've been in many of years).
So Cook coming in to the squad (as captain will make room for strauss (or maybe even KP???)), so who would he replace?
In saying that, Prior for me has to come out! Davies? Kieswetter????

I'm not sure you realise how much cricketers do in the off season mate. Even county cricketers are spending time in the gym, in nets, with physios, it's essentially like the on season, but more focussed on fitness.
-
So it's been announced that Cook will take over the ODI captaincy and Broad will take over as T20 captain. Strauss remains as Test captain.
-
Not sure about Broad as T20 captain but i guess time will tell.
