I got up early this morning (7/1/09 for those reading this later) and switched on Sky Sports News to read about Kevin Pietersen resigning as England captain, immediately I sank back into my bed thinking England are up s*** creak without a paddle.

The dressing room is surely split now and Peter Moores is going to have a job trying to rally the troops that were backing KP, so I got on the phone to a good friend of mine and discussed the matter and came to conclusion that Andrew Strauss should be the man to take over.

Despite my friends initial view that Michael Vaughan will be re-instated, we started to realise that the ashes were going to be far tougher now, with the Aussies getting a win, they must be loving whats going on right now.

To then hear that Peter Moores had resigned as well, I decided that it would be too embarrassing to watch English cricket this summer, the one saving grace for me is that Andy Flower has been offered the head coaches job for the tour of the West Indies, but until anything is definite it makes English cricket and the ECB look like a joke.
