Kevin Pietersen resigns: Cricket's colourful captains

[JBrads91]

this may sound anti cricket and anti traditional but for fck sake why can't we move away from the boring bastards, the are posh stuck up twats tht never made it to county level in some cases,ECB are a set of twats, we're past the age of needin selectors now, why can't they let either the skipper of the coach(manager) pick the side like in football, lets move on,

why don't we spend the money tht is currently there wages on grassroots for developin the game,

i dont care what anyone says kp was the best captain we had beat south africa -0 in the odi series got on well with the player but the only thing he had trouble with was the ecb they chose to ignore it so i dont blame him for quitting the captain jobs but if u ask me it was the wrong decision to sack peter moores i think we cud of won the ashes under peter moores we need a really good oach tht wil get on well with the players and a decent captain not andew strauss i think flintoff=better captain

thats really a sad news for english fans that the best man like KP himself is no more the captain of our great sport.

we have always had this problom who is next wake up you need some body who knows how to bat and bowl who can talk and lead his team to win the way we are going we are not going to win anything stop all the fuss this is not the time to messabout sitdown find a coach and captin who can talk to eachother

Pietersen now need to concentrate on his batting career.

With being a captain at a young age, its much pressure on a player, as being a captain.

The only thing Pietersen knows is how to win. His ways might be to the dislike of establishment, and beaucratic structure of ECB, but England team needed a revolutionary change in mindset. What was wrong in sacking moores, and give pietersen the ultimatum that he has a capitancy of one year in a busy English calender among which T20 WC, and Ashes being a premier events before inviting his captaincy up for review. In tour to India, it was obvious the pietersen needed help, which wasn't available.

Contineued: Peiterson is a talent, which requires a unique managerial skill to get the best out of him. If South Africa wants him, they can open a channel for such arrangement. After all, he has been reminded in every article that he is South african born English captain. That is so silly of British media and his agitators. He is a british left abondoned on shores of Africa, and is an English Produced. But SA lives on racial quota, and has a historical English man burden.
