England Fans Want Flintoff to Remain as England Captain Through The World Cup
As England get ready to start the second test against Sri Lanka a survey of 40,000 people has revealed that nearly 80% want Andrew Flintoff to remain as England captain on a permanent basis.
The survey also revealed how quickly England fans have forgotten the achievements of last summer with 15% saying that Vaughan should not even be selected for the upcoming Cricket World Cup.
Stickcricket.com commissioned the survey to mark the launch of its new and improved over by over online commentary service and 40,000 people took part in the poll.
The commentary is already winning applause from many quarters thanks to its blend of delivering informed cricketing information in a light hearted manner that helps cricket continue its resurgence as a popular sport for youngsters to get involved in.
The writers of the over by over commentary vary from established cricket journalists from daily newspapers through to every day cricket fans selected for their enthusiasm for the sport by the site owners.
Chris Berry is the Director of Stick Sports Ltd who own Stick Cricket and he commented, “The commentary is meant as a bit of light hearted fun so people can keep track of the latest scores and have a laugh at the same time but I bet Vaughan won’t be laughing and just as surprised as us to find out the majority of England fans think his time is up as captain”.
Another surprising statistic was that nearly 50% of people who were asked said that they see India as the main challengers for Australia’s Cricket World Cup title and England only just squeezed out Pakistan as second favourites.
w is now recognised as the second largest all-round cricket information site in the world and was the surprise hit of last summer as people logged on from both England and Australia to compete in now cult online game. Its simplicity to use meant it quickly became the enemy of all managers as office workers across the globe unite to play each other in private leagues.
As England and Australia went at it head to head on the field during the ashes series 7 million games took place between payers from each country online and in a repeat of the actual Ashes series, England won the battle 3-2.
