Title: Captaincy for The ODI Tri-Series
Post by: Scot Munroe on Sunday, December 24, 2006, 11:42:05
Should go to Vaughan instead of Flintoff. Because off the workload on Freddie Shoulders.

Opinions Please.

Vaughan is a better captain than Fred, FACT!

i think Vaughan will get it if he is fit. and if he isn't i think Strauss will. can't see the selectors making the same mistake they did with Freddie in the ashes. we need him raring to go for the world cup. he is our most important player for that tournament alongside KP

Heres my side to start the one day series / 20/20 matches - from the squad that has been selected I might add

Strauss
Bell
Vaughan (c)
Pietersen
Collingwood
Flintoff
Dalrymple
Nixon (wk)
Plunkett

Lewis

Other players in squad not selected here are :- James Anderson, Ed Joyce, Sajid Mahmood, Chris Read and Monty Panesar.

I agree with Vaughan coming back as captain, although his lack of match practise is a worry.

On another note, what did Stuart Broad do wrong? When i saw him play live and on tv he looked quality. Maybe not ready for the test team (although on our ashes performance maybe it is time) but especially the 20/20 and 1 day games i think he should be in the side.

Drop Strauss for Joyce until he starts batting in the manner that has proved successful and not like some slap happy twat.

True,but i remain unconvinced of the idea that we should get Beefy back in the team :) a selector yes :D  

I'm sure he's got some sort of award from the old bint,for his charity work at least if not his cricketing genius.Suppose he's always been considered a bit too much of a rebel for a
peerage :roll:

Let's have Geoff Boycott as a coach.  :mrgreen: he was the only thing that kept me listening to TMS, loved the way he was taking the mick out of his fellow Aussie co commentators.

vaughan's rubbish in the limited overs game and shouldn't even be guaranteed a starting place, let alone captaincy after such a long time out! i would probably stick with fred as captain for that and let vaughan (eventually) take over as test captain.

Vaughan's field places contrbuted to us winning the Ashes the other summer.

Flintoff looked lost as Captain IMO.

Thought i was the only one who liked Firey :) Have to say the idea of both Beefy and Boycott working within the England set-up makes sense,they are both legends who have so much experience.It won't happen though,can't see Fletcher letting it happen,and besides they've both got good jobs at the moment.

Both of them change their minds a lot.

Beefy was once a selector and it didnt go very well.

Boycott talks the talk, but I bet he couldnt walk the walk. Bet we'll have to go for an Aussie or SA coach because none of our own will actually want the job.
