What a pity. And knock-out blow for English cricket ahead of their crucial test match series with WI and Ashes....


Another gifted and talented cricketer getting carried away with this success.....

Last night while watching the Aus vs SA test match, I was listening to discussions between some commentators and they all seemed to support Moores and go ga-ga over his experience and capabilities...

A big big shock for English cricket. The 12 wisemen need to sort this out on a war-footing if they need to limit the impact of this development on the morale of the English players.....

Who could be the next captain - Andrew Strauss? Freddie (maybe too early for him)? Back to Collingwood

Could it expedite the return of Michael Vaughan


Spare a thought for Adidas..... All those wanting to buy a Adidas bat, wait for some time

Good riddance to Pietersen as captain - as Jack Bannister said on Talk Sport this morning, no one man is bigger than the team no matter how good they are. Also pleased Moores has gone as don't see any progress under him, whilst under Fletcher England came on in leaps and bounds.

I really quite fancy Key as captain. Definitely worth his place as a batsmen and allows Flintoff to concentrate on his cricket). To me he would displace Collingwood as only so many times you can make career saving runs.

I agree, Rob Key would be a fantastic captian

[sultanofswing]

perhaps key could come in for bell at 3 however i cant see him coming into captain. I always thought andrew strauss was good a captain and he did have a good series against pakistan before being overlooked for ashes. Worth giving him another chance i think.

[eaowbear]

Much as I would like Key to be given the captaincy I think you are right and that they will give the job to Strauss, although that does again bring up the two captains issue as he isn't in the one day team

[sultanofswing]

We he might come into bat in middle order in one day team, or maybe they might give one day job to freddie

Panesar to captain England!!!

[E-Unit]

Wait, has pieterson resigned from playing cricket for England ?:S

[sultanofswing]

it has not been confirmed however i dont think he is giving up playing, he did say if captaincy didnt work out he would happy to be just a player again. The main obstacle would be if peter moors had stayed but since he has also gone i cant see it being a problem

Panesar to captain England!!!

At 500/1 odds, could be a shrewd bet..

I'm gutted KP isnt captain now... He was the future lol

[Tikolo]

Monty dosent get into trouble, and aint outspoken, so he should be considered!!!

[BlarneyArmy]

...and he barely speaks.  And his furture is in doubt.

Well I think this had to happen otherwise players would begin to think that they could get away with anything. A good choice for Strauss to be captain as he was decent against Pakistan.
