I'm glad he's a better player now, except that that means he must have been *modded* terrible before, which begs the question as to why, if he was that bad, he was ever selected in the first place.
Of course, he might just be talking bollox

I don't think it's the captaincy that's an issue as much as his lack of runs.
There are no ODIs until June, apart from the Ireland game, which will be a Lions team. So there's time to come to a decision. Things could change a lot if Moores goes.
It's really odd the way Morgan started speaking like Alastair Cook during this competition, who in turn sounds like Andy Flower. Their patterns of speech. Root talks like that now too. Maybe he think that's how captains talk.

If Carberry,Vince and Luke are not in form they must not be be given free pass either.

it doesn't matter if he is in form
by definition he was playing well domestically before getting picked previous times
he is simply not good enough , if after 50 ODIs his numbers are that bad why assume they will be any better if he is given another chance
