what do you guys have to say about KP, Englands brand new captain. a great leader, really aggressive guy who believes in his abilities and is not afraid of going after even the aussies! i think such people will always make a mark for themselves.
I like him very much as a batsman ,He is like a young Tendulkar But I am unsure how he will handle this captaincy pressure... as of now he looks like a good captain but there will be times when you will not score and you have to motivate the team also...
yeah. i just wish he develops some bowling skills as well.. that ways, even if he is out of touch, he will be contributing to the side.
Well he will be a good captain for England as he can bat well and also looks aggressive and you can see England is doing well under KP.
I know the South Africans just want to go home and aren't that interested in the One-Day series (having won the Test series 2-1) but we're ALMOST developing a good one-day side now. We've got Anderson and Broad to swing the ball when it's new and then Flintoff and Harmison to come on as 1st change. Patel's a more-than-adequate one-day spinner and Pietersen can also do it a bit as well. In the batting we bat all the way down to 9, and there are adequate replacements (e.g. Bopara) who can come in. Here's hoping for a 5-0 whitewash on Wednesday. Of course it will all go tits-up when we go to India in the winter and Australia come over next summer, but I'm enjoying it for now.
Well I also hoping 5-0 win which gives confidence ahead of 7 Match ODI series against India where they also play 2 Test matches.
Yes India will beat them easily and at home India is strong team. What will be your margin? I would go with 5-2 in for India.
nope, i did watch them, but unfortunately i also happened to see the test series in australia,the one days against pakistan, the asia cup, and the test series against sri lanka....
Well India is now doing good outside from home but one thing is sure that India is very strong at home and it is very difficult to any team to win in India.
let's leave india aside for a while guys, this thread is about KP, the south africa born english captain!
Not the first either! (Tony Grieg was also South African). In fact there was a period in the 1970s when out of a succession of five England captains only two were actually English!
yes, you are quite right. although it is highly unfortunate that many asians, south africans etc. find it easy to make way in english sides rather than their own native sides! here's a few that come to my mind Graeme hick (zimbabwe) kevin pieterson nasser hussain mark ramprakash owais shah ravi bopara monty panesar sajid mahmood usman afzal samit patel and many more! i think this could lead to frsutration amongst the native englishmen!
