Not a shock, was never going to make it as a captain
Heh, what a coward
In before Romeo....again.
reading between the lines the ECB said they would prefer Moores
Nah, they obviously weren’t going to back him. I think it was the only reasonable thing for him to do.

Tragic, was looking forward to taking on a KP lead england in the ashes, amazing batsmen and all the flair in the world.
KP may have his haters, he is a Mercenary, a cocky bastard and destroyed us in 05, but he is great for the game of cricket, top notch entertainment.
The question remains, who has the minerals to step up for the poms???
Cook? Bell? Strauss? Flintoff? Why doesnt anyone want the job?

Agreed, he is a fantastic personality in the game. Would have been great fun.
Its a poisoned chalice, would keep Cook for away from it
Flintoff wouldn't want it after last time
Bell is lucky to still be in the team and Collingwood has no certainty
Only plausible choice is Strauss

Will he drop out of the team as well or just hand back his captaincy?
and say Cook or bell gets the captaincy that would mean they have 4 former captains and then a captain in their 11, not good for morale really

Absolutely no doubts about it. Your best player doesn't always make the best captain.
Yeah, KP was always too volatile.
Moores gone as well now!

The boys seemed to love and listen to him though, and he publicly showed faith in his players (harmi and jones)
Would struass take it though? and ive always considered bell mediocre so he shouldnt be considered but who else is there?
don't see why Strauss wouldn't take it
There is no one else as you would prefer the captain to be an established player who is a certain selection in the side.
That leaves Cook, Strauss, KP, Flintoff and Harmison
Are you serious? He's their best batsman by a fair margin, why would they drop him?

Not dropped i meant did he resign from the team too, as in did he srop himself?
Wasnt strauss captain before the last ashes then replaced by Flintoff? and was left somewhat bitter?
Either way he would be the best choice i think

I've read/heard suggestions of Strauss for the Tests, and possibly Flintoff for the ODIs

I think he was coming from the point of view as to whether Pietersen would continue making himself available for the side.

That hasn`t always been England`s way though.
They have had captains in the modern era who didn`t warrant selection in the side on merit alone.
Doubt if they would go down that path again in 2009 however.
