Still, whoever we pick, we'll still lose.
Thanks for that, showing such a good knowledge of all things there.

the best bastman in the world, but i dont know about captain, Vaughan was an immense captain, can Pieterson live up to him?.
Number 8 (test batsman) according to the ICC rankings: http://www.iccreliancerankings.com/Not even in the top 5 batsman in the world in my opinion. Time is right for a change, but pieterson is not the man, give it to either Collingwood or Strauss.
That'll be Andrew Strauss who also got out with a stupid shot then?? As did Cook and Bell.I think the stupid shot yesterday showed that he definetly doesnt have the right character to be england captain.
They should have made Strauss captain.
Not sure about KP. As has already been said his batting will probably suffer with the extra responsibility.
I laughed when fat bob was mooted for the post but the more i think about it the more sense it makes
Bad decision as his batting will suffer!! Botham suffered in the way i think Pietersen will

Cricket fan then?
weird that Cricketing nouse, understanding the game, tactics, hasn't come into this debate.

I'd call switch hitting an example of cricketing nouse.
i'm sure KP had absolutely no understanding of the game or tactics whatsover, i mean how can his cricketing knowledge hope to match ours merely by playing test matches and being the ODI assistant captain?
I think he's the best captain we have. He's inspirational, and will lead from the front. Hopefully our other players will learn something from him. Plus, the 'tactics' people refer to aren't solely down to him. He'll have the coach, selectors, and other players to consult, so I don't see him being some sort of tactical disaster.
The ONLY problem with it him being captain is that it might ruin the form of our only truly class batsman. That's why I wasn't overly keen, but it's up to him to prove he can captain AND bat well.
Good luck KP
