Who's the Captain?

It was good to see England finally win a game in the magnificent surroundings of the Bellerive Oval in Hobart yesterday (even if it was, as someone once said, like watching 'two bald men fighting over a comb') and even better to see Andrew Flintoff getting back to something like his best form with both ball and bat.

However, things soon move on, and, with Michael Vaughan picking up a hamstring injury, we're now left with the question of who should (again) take over the England captaincy.

Flintoff or Strauss? I favoured Strauss before Australia and would certainly do so again now, especially as Flintoff's return to the ranks has appeared to benefit him (although he, in time-honoured fashion, would doubtless completely deny it).

With Australia to play again at the end of the week, we'll find out in the next day or two.
