Excellent, get the rocks and eggs ready

^I don't know about that. If I would get my rocks and eggs ready, it will be for Kamran Akmal. I think it was Akmals who threatened Haider who did name Umer in one interview.

Kevin Pietersen wants England ODI captaincy | England Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo

If Strauss indeed steps down - it would either have to be KP or Swann. All this crazy talk about Broad getting it or bringing back Cook into the team to skipper the side was beginning to give me a migraine.

 

[sami ullah khan]

Since KP has already had a not so memorable stint as captain, I would go with Swan. He is an integral part of ODI team and is a popular figure among the teammates.

 

[cricket_icon]

swann odi captaincy definitely. cook as tests. i still thnk cook can solve england odi opening problems...or could have done. he was in a rich vein of form.

 

[Papa_Smurf]

Nah, got to be KP. I just don't see Swann as a captain-sort of a guy.

 

[Iridium]

I'd rather Swann just focus on his bowling rather than have the added burden of captaining the side

 

[Haarithan]

Cook ftw .

Test form/success doesnt equal ODI success though.

Lets not forget before the Ashes 2010/11, Cook went through 4 years where he was consistently struggling with technical faults that was first exposed in Ashes 06/07. So let Cook just focus now on becoming the best test batsman he can be, since in the past he has proven to totally out of place as an ODI player.
