Haha... most bizarre resignation in history unfolds as captain sees a captain of a similar team (in the terms that there is some vague similarity between the England Test and ODI teams - and personnel has zero to do with this comment BTW) resign and decides to follow-suit, despite complete absence of further reasoning...Sky now claiming Paul Collingwood has resigned as ODI captain...
Andrew Strauss. Who, to me, would have seemed the best choice. A decent if not outstanding, to date, captain who's done the job at international level before and, to my mind, is clearly a Test-class batsman (when he's not treading on his stumps).Not unhappy if it is KP, personally. In any case, who else is there?
For you and me clearly, but perhaps not for the people making the decisions.Marketers dream isnt a relevant consideration for a National team captain.
Cheers. Good to see he wants to get his place back as a batsman.Press conference is on Sky Active on the red button on the news for those with Foxtel.
I am with that one 100%. We are still only a few tests away from discussing whether Stauss should be in the team.Strauss only just got his place back and you get the feeling he's not completely out of the woods yet and loss of form could be only around the corner again. At the end of the day as much as people don't like it, KP is the only secure member of the side,
Probably a good idea to change the title to "Vaughan and Collingwood resign as England captains".Bloody hell, Colly's gone too.
Yeah his hair looks dreadful, looks a real old man. Get it sorted IMO.Also came out that he needs a haircut ASAP.
This wasn't quite as awful as the Nasser Hussain resignation in 2003, but it was rather sad. Hussain could barely speak for much of that conference, Vaughan only seemed to have difficulty when he talked about his family - apart from that he was always steady.Press conference is on Sky Active on the red button on the news for those with Foxtel.
He evidently seems to think the ODI captaincy has affected his Test form. Who knows - not completely impossible that it has.Why doesn't Collingwood want to take the role? I mean, he is more than capable, isn't he?
