Rob Key can't even get in the side as a batsman let alone a captain. I believe Cook should of been chosen as he's young and could  be the future for england, much like Clarke is for Australia.  Strauss in my opinion is past his best, and has only a few years left...

Strauss is only an interim choice, he won't be long term he lacks the charisma.
I don't think Cook should have got it he doesn't seem influencial enough...
I still think in the end they will come back to Pietersen, give it until after we have lost the ashes

Big mistake, in cricket the captain should lead his team and make the decisions regarding his team, because more than likely when push comes to shove, the captain takes all the blame, hence Ponting at the minute. Moores wanted to run the show, when in my opinion the captain should lead his team and the coach is there to support him, it was evident this wasn't the case with England, Moores was making decisions regarding players and certain things, which obviously got under KP's skin. The problems where there before he was even captain though as before taking the job he had talks with Moores, and Moores has obviously gone back on his word. Pietersen is the man for the job, he's got all the qualities, he  is very similar to Graeme Smith, given time he would have become the same captain I feel. When Smith started it was the same as with Pietersen, great talent, outspoken, big ego, but Micky Arthur lets Smith lead his team, and that shows.   If Graham Ford from Kent gets the job, expect to see Pietersen back in the job.
