#3 Kevin Pietersen and Peter Moores
Kevin Pietersen was named England captain in August 2008. He was overjoyed to be named captain and stated that it was a huge opportunity for him. After England failed to defend 387 in the Test match against India in Chennai in December, Pietersen decided he no longer wanted Peter Moores as a coach.
On this matter in January 2009, Kevin said, “This situation is not healthy, we have to make sure it is settled as soon as possible and certainly before we fly off to West Indies. Everything has to be hunky dory, everybody has to have the same aims and pull in the same direction for the good of the England team”. After a few days, England Cricket Board appointed Andrew Strauss as England’s captain, and Andy Flower replaced Peter Moores.
