I'm absolutely gutted.
As soon as I announced to the media that I would jump at the chance to succeed Straussy as ODI captain, I thought the decision would be a formality.
I mean, who won the Ashes by sacrificing his captaincy to get rid of that imbecile Peter Moores in a selfless manner that even Jesus would have been proud of?
KP
And who was man of the tournament when England won the World T20 last year?
KP, of course.
Plus who volunteered to open the batting in the World Cup despite having such a severe shrapnel wound to the stomach that he had to be hospitalised for an emergency life-saving operation halfway through the tournament?
The heroic and inspirational KP.
So, who should be captain of England's ODI and T20 teams?
Yep, you've guessed it peeps, KP.
Cooky, I can kind of understand as he is the second best batsman in the side after yours truly and I know he was Straussy's fag at public school.
But Broady? Surely it is some sort of plot instigated by the Daily Mail against non-native English cricketers?
It is the only explanation.
Where next?
