Who Should Be England Captain in Southampton?

[Arthur Crabtree]

I presume it will be Cook. But who should it be?

[Gingerfinch]

Gone for Root.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Went, a little reluctantly, for Bell, for the rest of the series. Make a more definitive decision at the end of the series.

Though as I say above, unless Cooky resigns, he'll be there at the Rose Bowl.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Gone for Root.

Root has only captained one match, so... But the new players are producing the goods.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Maybe should have had Taylor and Woakes as not as unlikely as a couple of county skippers...

[dan08]

Bell at the moment.

[Aidan11]

Anyone but Cook....and Morgan...and Key...and R....actually let's just say Ian Bell.

[SaintPowelly]

Jimmy Adams, captaincy experience, knows the Rose Bowl wicket.

[hopeforthebest]

Bell has played 4 CC games for Warwickshire this year as captain and scored 506 runs whilst doing so. He has captained them before with success and it's odd that nationally he's seen as a wimp.

[DeltaAlpha]

It doesn't matter. What we need is batsmen who bat to their ability and don't throw their wickets away.

[Making_Splinters]

It's going to be Cook.

I'd quite like to see KP, just for the fall out it would cause, somthing needs to make English cricket interesting again.

[Alviro Patterson]

Andrew Gale and go all Yorkshire for the remaining tests. Ballance, Plunkett and Root are practically carrying Team England.

And Boycott to open?

Need him in the commentary box to give insight on the finest Yorkshire talent gracing County Cricket
