Cricket - The Gentleman’s Game

Amid high drama over the past few days, the dust in the England cricket team appears to have settled, at least as of now. It is known that the captain of England cricket team, Kevin Peterson and the coach Moores resigned in a single day after their relations reached an irretrievable breakdown. Both of them felt that they cannot stay in the team together. Peterson went to the extent of issuing an ‘ultimatum’ to the ECB to send away Moores. However, the Board and other seniors did not back Peterson nor the Coach. This finally led to the resignation of both the Captain and coach.

After a day of resignations, England Cricket board has decided to name Strauss as the captain of the team. To be noted that though Peterson resigned as Captain, he is still continuing in the team and the cricket board believes that he is a valuable addition to the team as far as the sport is concerned. So, Peterson will be flying to the series with West Indies starting in a few days which will be captained by Strauss. It is a very bad start in the new year for the England cricket, but now that everything is settled we can look ahead for some good cricket.
