KP makes his move

KP is testing the faith.

He is 3 tests into his career, has not won a live test, has been smashed 5 zip in one dayers by India and lost 20 million crackers.

He also slipped in a de pantsting of South Africa in a one day series that they had already mentally check out of.

Now he wants Michael Vaughan in, Peter Moores out.

It’s that simple.

KP is stamping his foot, like a trophy bride in size 8 manolo blahniks looking for a new diamond necklake

The problem for most English cricket fans is they can only agree with 50% of KP’s demands.

There are some fans who want Moores out.

There are a lot of fans who don’t want to see Vaughan back.

But the amount of people who want Moores out and Vaughan back would be small.

So KP is working without the support of fans or media, and without any great success behind him.

Moores may not have a great record either, but it's not as if Vaughan's recent work has even existed.

KP is walking into the ECB naked, holding a mini bat, but still rocking it with that amazing KP confidence that no scientist could ever explain.

That is how KP works.

There are no great brainstorming sessions, or lists with the pros and cons.

He just jumps in without thinking.

It seems to have worked so far.

But being a cricket captain with a sub par record you need a little finesse, you need a lightness of touch, and you need to bend over and take the occasional reaming.

KP doesn’t strike me as someone who would like to do that, from anyone other than Mrs KP and a rubber aid.

Going in heavy handed at this stage, for a dude who hasn’t played any cricket to prove his selection could be a massive mistake.

If we know one thing about KP as a leader, he is a star players captain, Harmy, Shah, and Freddy have already felt the warm hand of Kp’s support tugging on their career.

And doing this may make the team come together, ofcourse if Moores gets the ass because of it, they may separate like Berlin.

The Probots on one side, the talent on the other.

In a fight to the death.

One that KP might win, but if he gets his way, gets a new coach, and gets Vaughan, and Vaughan fails and England loses, what is KP's fall back position.

Zimbabwe?
