Hussain Resigns as One-day Skipper

I feel extremely sorry for England.
They missed out on the super six only because of the decision to boycott the Zimbawbe game.
I truly wish the ACB had the strength to do the right thing and send a message that this type of regime is not tolerated in the sporting world.

Hussain did a pretty good job as the English press are the toughest going around.

Nah its quite easy.......add four points as they would have beaten Zimbabwe and they are in......pretty easy really

Lets just hope none of Australias matches are rain affected.....lmao otherwise they could be on the receiving end.......now wouldnt that be good

LoL CQ! I agree with Assasin on this one!

It was not a foregone conclusion that either England or Pakistan would've beaten Zimbabwe.

Hussain has done the right thing and it WAS good to see a cricketer making a statement without referring to a piece of paper. Collingwood for captain, I say!

i thought hussein was a good captain,always tried his best at all times,over here,it was injuries that stuffed them up.if they werent all injured i think it wouldve been a good series,and if i was hussein i wouldve done the same thing and boycotted the matches..

cheers bryan..!!

Yeah they were unlucky when you consider Zimbabwes form. 6 points for doing nothing. At least ENGLAND EARNT every point they got!!!!!!!

What credibility does the tournament have by virtue that Kenya can qualify for the semis if one of their games is washed out.....thats a farce

who is going to replace Hussain? Pick Straws?

Interesting to note he thinks he is still good enough to be captain of their test side....does he remember the summer he had in Oz?

PS...of course the would have beaten ZIM....are you guys actually watching the cricket???? They had the ALMIGHTY AUSTRALIAN side at 8/135.....CMON WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE...

This comp is a farce now with Kenya and Zim through....the world cup should be the BEST V BEST not BEST V a side who got free points from either a boycott or rain......

THE PIES GO MARCHING ON

I'm not sure if Collingwood has captaincy experience but his general attitude suggests he'd be a good replacement for Hussain.

Not much point having ANY side 8/135 and not being able to finish the job.

I was merely highlighting that if Eng can have AUSTRALIA on the ropes then the likes of Zim would not be a challenge....

Now australia could lose to SL AND NZ and go through to the semis becuase they beat Kenya.....if I wasn't joking I would be laughing.......

Donny! England lead by Collingwood?
OMG, how could I ever seriously love Collingwood (FC) again if the poms had Collingwood as their leader?
It's too awful to contemplate..........
