Title: New England captains
Post by: stevie on August 03, 2008, 02:10:44 PM
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/7539433.stm Vaughan has quit his job as test captain and colly as ODI captain who do people think will be the next England captain or captains. Personally I think it should be Cook in test and bell in ODI's if they want two captains but if they want 1 it should be Bell because they are both established player's. A real outsider i suppose is Key who is a good captain. I really don't want the test captain to be KP, i don't mind him as odi captain but not test.

kp is not my choice i would go for cook as the one for the future as he can open odi and test or  for split captaincy maybe some one like struass test and odi is undecided

I think Freddie said he doesn't want the captincy because i think he said captaining England was one of the worst time of his life.
Strauss would be a makeshift captain at best but he is who i think they will go for, whereas if they want one for the future it should be Cook or Bell.

Someone young for the future, maybe Bell becuz he has captained England u-19s before so he has experience.

All the noises so far seem to be that KP will get both captancy's. I think this would be bad because i think it will effect his batting and at the moment we need all the runs we can get.

Well kp got it. I hope he will be a good captain for England and will bring us success.
