David Fulton's view on Pietersen

There has been much burbled about Pietersen's appointment as England captain, along with the enormous amounts of column inches given to it elsewhere. This article, by David Fulton, seems to be a relatively objective view on Pietersen's first Test in charge, and his future prospects. There's one paragraph in particular that rings true to me, which is the last one:

"The best captains for the most part remain an emotional constant. When the team is down it's important he's lifting them up. When the team is on the crest of the wave it's important the captain keeps a proper sense of perspective and is not surfing on top of it."

See what you think of the article....
