KP's first..

People in India thought that captaining Team India was the toughest job. Those who said that are probably not watching the English cricket. High dramas happen there as well like the Indian camp. Micheal vaughan resigned his captaincy decently unlike Indians.. ( Nothing personal). There was a man standing tearful giving his resignation speech. So pathetic for a real insipirational captain who won the Ashes for their country after a long wait. But that was ages before.

Enter the new captain - KP - Kevin Pieterson.

Kevin Pieterson won his debut captain match with a win over the Proteas. The win was set by the openers, Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss,who played solid cricket. Both conquered their half-centuries and that laid a platform for their victory. It was Freddie who finished of in a style with a six. Though the wickets fell at a pace after the opening stand of 123 it didnt stop them from winning the match with a comfortable 6 wicket win.

This however didnt change the name on the trophy to England. The Proteas won 2-1 courtesy Micheal Vaughan. The fighting from the Suth African squad came from AB de Villers fighting 73. English seemers were on a dominant form in the match leading from the front was Anderson. Wickets kept falling like a pack of cards for the Proteas 265 for seven at tea, leading by just 143 runs.

KP have won the first match as captian. But there is a long way to go before their World Cup Test- The Ashes. He has got enough time to analyse the team balance before getting into the Ashes with a positive mind set. But, there is a long way to go KP. We wish him a Goodluck..
