Pieterson as captain

Century in his first debut match as captain, England won the test.
90 odd vs South Africa in the first ODI as captain. England won.

Top performer both with the bat, with the ball - grabbed a couple - and in the field. What is your opinion so far on Pieterson as captain? Yay or nay?

Edit: Read Pietersen (To the rescue - Some1 Bhai’s spelling police army)

Too early to comment on captaincy.

Wait after away tours to India and west Indies.

But as a batsman - simply awesome.

Pieters*en *mere bhai...not Peiterson.

It can't be a typo...as you have made the same mistake thrice in this thread (including in the thread topic).

Sorry, but I could lose my spelling police badge if I didn't correct this.

^ Talking about PaaTaaarson....reminds me of the scary West Indies fast bowler of the eighties - Patrick Patterson

I read the following amusing anecdote involving Patterson on Cricinfo (copy-pasted):

The scene is set at a Test match between Australia and the West Indies at Adelaide Oval back in February 1989. These were the days when the Windies were the greatest power the cricketing world had ever seen, the days when they used to select 11 fast bowlers in the team and a 12th man who was a fast bowler just to be on the safe side.

And it was into just such a furnace that the young bowler Mervyn Hughes walked - with bat in hand. Figuring fortune favoured the brave, Hughes wielded the willow like an axeman his axe, and somehow - after snicking fortutiously, connecting full-bloodedly, and missing entirely - he finished the day's play at 72 not out.

The tradition in Test cricket is that the batting side take a few beers into the fielding side's dressing-room afterwards, but not on this evening. Instead, Merv took an ice-box full of bottles, so keen was he to give the men of the Windies the full blow-by-blow account of every run he'd made. So it was that half an hour later, Jones - who himself had contributed 216 - and Hughes and several other Australian players were in the Windies dressing-room, when a sudden hush fell upon the gathering.

They looked to the door and there was Sir Donald Bradman himself, being ushered into the room by several South Australian cricket officials. The Don had expressed a desire to meet this mighty team, and now here he was.

For the next 15 minutes or so, the great man was introduced to the visiting players, with each West Indian standing up well before Sir Donald got to their position on the bench. Then, when their time came, they warmly shook his hand and had a few words.

This all proceeded splendidly until Sir Donald got to the last man on the bench, Patrick Patterson - the fastest bowler in the world at that time. So the story goes, not only did Patterson not stand, he simply squinted quizzically up at the octogenarian. Finally, after some 30 seconds of awkward silence, Patterson stood up, all two metres of pure whip-cord steel of him, and looked down at the diminutive Don.

"You, Don Bradman!?!" he snorted. "You, Don Bradman?!?! I kill you, **mun! I bowl at you, I kill you! I split you in two!"**

In reply, Sir Donald, with his hands on his hips, gazed squarely back at Patterson and calmly retorted: "You couldn't even get Merv Hughes out. You'd have no chance against me, mate!"
