Pressure mounting on the England captain 2:14pm on 29 Jul 2008 On a seperate point drewster499 is 100% right about Key. Bring him into the 1 day side to captain and open the batting then we'll have someone putting pressure on Vaughan.
Vaughan likes Collingwood as the 'split' captain because he isn't a threat to his test captancy
Pressure mounting on the England captain 2:07pm on 29 Jul 2008 Ah cosy club England.
They leave Collingwood out because he hasn't scored anywhere near the weight of runs required in Test matches recently and his 1st class form for Durham has been abysmal.
1 test match later, no 1st class cricket for Collingwood so no improvement in his form and he's back in the team.
Can't have anything to do with the fact his the skippers mate can it?? that and the fact Vaughan is big mates with Giles means this England team will be a closed shop for a very, very long time because Vaughan will 'advise' Giles the selector who he'd like in the squad, Giles recommends them and hey presto Vaughan has the side that never changes and on the evidence of the past 18 months never wins any meaningful test matches let alone series.

As a Somerset supporter I cannot believe Bopara is constently overlooked at test level this season. He has scored runs and big runs in every single format of the game and takes wickets, something Collingwood hasn't done for a couple of years.
