Aussie bowler Shane Warne says that Michael Vaughan and Andrew Flintoff should not split being captain for one day matches and tests as he fears it will not do England any good. Australian Spinner Shane Warne has told England not to split the captaincy between Michael Vaughan and Andrew Flintoff.

Warne says, "As long as communication is good between the two captains then there is no drama. But ideally you'd like one captain as it should
be a treasured position.."

However England are not taking his advice as Fintoff will now become Englands' captain in the three test series against Sri Lanka as Vaughan
is still recovering from a knee injury. Vaughan has failed to keep Englands success high as Englands success has downslided since the
Ashes.

Warne added "Michael Vaughan is crucial if England are to defend the Ashes - as a captain and player. The way he plays is very aggressive.
He has all the shots and is a very good captain. He's an important part of the team, but he must perform."

Whatever happens Freddie will continue being captain for England while Vaughan is still injured. This could soon change as Vaughan could be
back match fit in a couple of weeks and retain his title as captain. Being the captain for England in whatever sport you are playing is a great
honour, i just hope this hasn't been forgotten!
