Moores reveals one captain preference

26 January 2007
With current captain Michael Vaughan's position under intense scrutiny in the one-day format, Moores claimed he would not make any rash decisions on the captaincy.
"I am going to see what Michael's view is," he said. "In an ideal world it is nice to have one captain."
Moores also indicated he will trawl over the ashes of England's disastrous winter with Vaughan before deciding on the way forward for the national side.
The former Sussex coach and academy director was appointed last week to replace Duncan Fletcher following six months in which England have suffered an Ashes whitewash and a limp World Cup exit.
Of the way ahead, he said: "You will have to wait and see. I will talk to Michael first and see how he wants to go forward.
"Michael is going to be captain in the first Test (against West Indies next month) and his reputation goes without saying. He will have some interesting views on what happened this winter."
Moores also promised the England management would place equal stock in both forms of the game after criticism of the side's tactics and performances in the shorter form.
"They are both important and we will be working hard on both to make sure we are successful in both," he said on Sky Sports News.
"We had a great time in the Commonwealth Bank series (in Australia), the key is consistency. We will work with the players and try to build on that. It is a good challenge for me to try and improve."
