Lets hope this Captain Cook fairs better on his overseas trips than the last one did. :-D:-D:-D
 
Very sad to hear. I guess all that shit with KP has done his napper in.


I can't see how Strauss and KP could have worked together in the same team again, so if the ECB wanted KP back in Strauss may well have just told them to stick it

Not judging by the presser, sounds like his poor form was the biggest deciding factor.

KP has the ECB by the short and curlies now, the team need him no question.

Don't want him back

Strauss, one of the finest captains ever for England.

You won't be the only one.

Agreed about Strauss, but he is history now, if England want to compete at the top of the game KP will have to come back in. The top order will look wafer thin otherwise in India.

I can see that.. but what if England can't compete and he has another go at them? he will walk away anyway as he is very competitive so its catch 22 really

I'm guessing these are the things that will be discussed between the ECB and KP. I'm hoping he has learned a valuable lesson in the last 2 weeks or so.

Hopefully they both just bite the bullet and sort it out as it has been a shambles this summer and its cost the ECB and Pietersen dearly.
 
Personally I'd make Taylor ODI captain if Cook was Test captain too, we seem to like the whole 3 captains idea. Bearing in mind Cook wasn't even in the team when he was appointed, I don't see that being a problem for Taylor.[/QUOTE]

Slight flaw in the argument is that Taylor isn't in the ODI side!

Exactly what I was saying though, Cook wasn't in the side when he was appointed captain either. Nor was Strauss when he was ODI captain.
