Personally, I think it is time for Michael Vaughan to step down as England cricket captain
Its all well and good captaining the side, but if you are in the most prominent position in the order (No. 3), then you must be in the side to score runs
Vaughan no longer scores runs, but relies heavily on his outstanding success in Australia which is in the distant past now
Add to that the possibility of recurring knee trouble and fitness doubts, surely its time to blood someone NOW.
And his interviews and really getting on my tits
We must bowl well and put them under pressure
We must bat well and put them under pressure
You never hear its about time I got my finger out and scored some fuckin runs

I'd move broad up the order.
Maybe bell could go 3?

Vaughan has to be moved down to six IMO if he is staying put. He is very suspect to the new ball if we lose an early wicket, as he no longer plays straight all the time. |

I wouldn't bowl Broad I'd keep him as a batter.
He has a better opportunity with the bat then.
Like Flintoff said it affects your batting bowling.

Rhodesy, you cant keep Broad in just as a batsman. The entire point of him being there is because he can do a job both with the bat and ball, if you take his bowling away you may aswell recall Colly or get someone like Rob Key in

Colly can't bat. An Broad is a better batsmen than Key!!
And Colly bowls aswell you know!!
I meant to use Broad less not to fully eradicate his bowling.

Broad isnt a better batsman than Key at all, hes having a great knock at the moment, but when he starts getting low scores (which he inevitably will) lets see how many people will be calling for his head. |

We'll see. How exactly do you know he'll have a dip in form?

Because hes 21

I don't agree with moving Broad up the order as it will put more pressure on his batting - he is in the side as a bowler but is struggling a wee bit at the moment. He should bat at 8 and if he scores runs it is a bonus, he needs to work on his bowling, I wouldn't be surprised to see him dropped soon in favour of someone like Simon Jones

Strauss for Captain and Shah in for Vaughan.

Post by growler on Jul 31, 2008 10:43:01 GMT
Here is a radical idea - pick the 5 best batsmen, four bowlers, a wicket keeper and an all rounder. This means both Vaughan and Collingwood would need to prove themselves with several good knocks in four day (not one day) county games before getting back in the team. Strauss, Cook, Petersen, Bell, Key/Shah, Flintoff, Prior, Broad, Sidebottom/Jones, Anderson, Panesar should do the trick with Strauss as Captain. Broad is a bonus as his batting has almost eclipsed his bowling. We should stick with him, even if his form with the bat dips a bit.

Strauss as captain??????????? Wow things have around. It wasn't too long ago people were calling for his head, see also Bell

Strauss as interim captain for 2-3 years to let Cook get more experience, then Cook after Strauss.

Good call on Strauss then Cook.
Gerrard might take the all rounder spot! I gather Phil Neville was an exceptional cricketer as a youngster. Shame the money can't compete with football.
