English Cricket Crises : Pietersen resigns, Moores sacked, Strauss named captain

I think the blame lies with ECB.

I know Pietersen is not an angel and has a big ego but if he wanted to have Vaughan in the side for the West Indies series the ECB should have honoured his wish. I have always been of the view that the captain and not the coach should have the FINAL say in team selection

Had Moores stayed it would have split the dressing room right down the middle.

Some of Pakistan's ex-captains and dressing room members would have been proud of this mess. There are obviously some factions in the dressing room, some with Pietersen and some not, and that's not the sort of harmony you want just six months before the Ashes.

Andrew Strauss will likely replace KP as test captain but since the former has not been a part of England's recent one-day teams, they might go for a separate one-day skipper. This farce could not have come at a worse time for England

Andy Flower is likely to be named as 'temporary' English coach
