Who should be the next England cricket captain?

Coffee House seems to have a fair share of cricket fans, so I thought I’d canvass your views on who should be the next England test captain after Michael Vaughan’s resignation yesterday. The ECB are set to announce his successor at 13:00 today, and the smart money seems to be on Kevin Pietersen. KP’s certainly a great player. But, for me, he lacks the tactical nous and composure that, say, an Andrew Strauss captaincy could bring to the team. What do CoffeeHousers think?
