Kevin Pietersen resigns - so does Moore, the English cricket coach

NVDL: Intwisting. Where will Kevin go now? Dubai?

clipped from www.telegraph.co.uk Pietersen resigned after the England and Wales Cricket Board refused to concede to his demands for the future direction of the team. Telegraph Sport understands that Pietersen sent a list of requests to the board that went further than the removal of Moores as head coach. It is thought the ECB have decided to take a hard stand against Pietersen and that Andrew Strauss will be appointed as his successor later today. Strauss has captained England before but a recent return to consistent form has propelled him back into the reckoning. Pietersen is due to return from holiday on Thursday but by then it is likely the ECB will have completed its restructuring of the England management. Pietersen's resignation was quickly followed by news of Moores' decision to stand down from his post. It has been reported that Andy Flower will take over as interim coach for England's tour of the West Indies.
