			After his recent performances i don't think he had any other option. It was either he resigned or was just dropped from the team meaning he lost the captaincy anyway. Collingwood also resigned as one-day captain, so it will be intresting to see who they pick as captain for both test and one dayers or one for each form of the game as they had been doing.

			A century on his debut as England Captain not bad eh?  
Ironically the third South African born player to do so for England too!

			Looks like England could win the Twenty/20 match against South Africa by the duckworth lewis method. 
England made 202-6 
South Africa are on 127-3 when it started chucking it down and rain stoped play, they needed to be on 128-3    
Get them rain dances going    |
