Re: Pietersen handed England captaincy

If Pietersen was captain a test or 2 ago their:
Captain would be from South Africa
Opening bowler would be from Australia
Wicket-Keeper would be from Australia
Star batsman would be from South Africa

(is Strauss from Aus as well?)

Sounds like the Australian soccer team.

I can't stand KP but this could be the thing that makes him stop being so damn arrogant.

Might be surprised about how arrogant he isnt if you watch his interviews.

I think we should give him a chance before we put him down as a failed leader. No one here has been in the dressing room with him so I think it's a bit tough to be saying he is unapproachable and aloof.
At the end of the day he is the best cricketer England have and the only one that is guaranteed to be picked in all forms of the game.

You're right, I don't really know the man but it's just an impression and I'm sure he won't take the opinion of a professional armchair sports viewer to heart.

A century on debut as Captain & a win. Well done KP, tho I think with South Africa having already won the series there was little to play for from the Efrikaans.
