Kevin Pieterson England Cricket Captain

Question

Now Kevin Pieterson has taken over as England Captain have we gained a captain or in essence lost a batsman. Discuss.

Answer 1

i think Kevin Piterson will be successful on his England team if they  did won in game against South Africa that means  Kevin Piterson's captain of record will better than Michael Vaughan's captain of records.

Answer 2

He is a very good batter and ive said bad things about vaughan before and sum of it wos bein closed minded hes gone thro a rough patch and i hope he comes bak to england as a player and scores the runs as for kevin pieterson he is a very good batter n quite individual but hes not the guy who will give in to pressure and will hopefully become better.  Graham Gooch wos a great batter while being a great captain and hope this is the same for kevin =]

Answer 3

When a batsman is just that, he only has to consider his own performance, but when made captain, batting and/or bowling always suffer, due to extra considerations; Michael Vaughan, a case in point.

I would have made Strauss test captain and Pietersen One Day captain, just to evaluate what difference captaincy made to Pietersen's batting.

Answer 4

I think that he is a good captain and that England will be very succesful!  

Answer 5

Neither.

I don't think he can match Sir Michael as a Captain. He's left a tough act to follow.

Strauss should have got the job or they should forgive Freddie & give it to him.

Answer 6

He can only be better than Michael Vaughan (he got to up himself and thought he was better than he was....served him where I work and he was so rude!) I think we have definitely gained a captain. He's a very enthusiastic player who takes the game very seriously and hopefully this will rub off on the rest of the team. Though only time will tell.

Answer 7

pietersen will be a great captain he will still be the best batsmen in the world n as for what people are saying about vaughan he was one of the best captains in the world and he is still a world class player and kevin will be just as gd a captain than vaughan if not better looks like a brighter future for english cricket

Answer 8

have they really made pieterson captain?

Answer 9

We can only hope we haven’t lost a batsman. We certainly haven’t gained a captain – he may grow into one but he in not there yet. Best of luck to him.

Answer 10

I think Vaughan was the better choice, but Pietersen has yet to show what he can do.

Answer 11

time will tell whether the captaincy will affect what he does with the bat i suppose. I personally think he will continue to do well as a batsman, he seems to me the kind of person who likes the pressure and being in the spotlight, it brings out the best in him
