The world will rock when he is confirmed in England’s 15 man ICC Trophy squad.

That is if they actually send a squad.

This site must have had a massive traffic surge due to people searching for “Rob Key England captain” / “who is Rob Key” over the last couple of days.

Imagine if he had been made captain – the world as we know it (Britain) would have been changed forever.

“He finds a set of words that he likes and then repeats them over and over until all concerned seem satisfied” – that’ll suit the tabloids nicely then – and the selectors as they seem a witless set of buggers. Tchah!

I just watched the entire inchoherant press conference on the beeb website. Kevin doesn’t do sentences, Kevin does random, vaguely connected groups of words. He finds a set of words that he likes and then repeats them over and over until all concerned seem satisfied.

Apparently he’s going to give the captaincy of England his ‘Bestest go’ – fancy that!

How about this from an Alastair Cook column after they broke up his and Vaughan’s opening partnership:

“I will miss batting with Michael Vaughan – and particularly the lordly way that he caresses the ball through the covers.”

We’ve never felt moved to say anything that complimentary about any of our colleagues.

KP said: “I love Michael.” He literally said that. He LOVES Michael.

No wonder the dressing room is disintegrating, such love between two players can only breed jealousy from the rest of the team. What about Colly, does no one love him?

He feels unloved. As does Strauss.

And no one loves Tiny-Tim Ambrose. Poor Tiny. He’s so small, KP could at least give him a little love.

But no, all about Michael.

the answer, it seems, is KP.

Hmmm. How odd.

But who to replace him? You’ve already fired Collingwood.

Divesting himself of the Increasingly Alarming Mullet of Captaincy will go a long way to restoring some pride, I would’ve thought.
