Flintoff confirmed as Vaughan's replacement as Captain.

The BBC, a fair few of the papers, they thought that this time it would surely be Strauss, but not the case.

You have to wonder how this is affecting both players. The rumours were that when Flintoff was given the nod for The Ashes, Strauss when not putting on a public face, was pretty disappointed about it all.

Yeah, that's an apt enough reaction i'd say.

Back to business as usual for England then on Friday i imagine.

They're asking him to do way too much. Then again i dont think any of the others are ready for captaincy.

Very disappointed. Strauss is the natural replacement - Better cricket brain.
