A captain should not be selected by default. A player may be established in the side and an allround excellent player, but that doesn't make him the best choice for captain. I'm not yet convinced by Strauss, though he is certainly a better leader than Flintoff.
I believe Vaughan is one of the best captains in the world, if not the best. And given the likes of Pietersen, Cook, Strauss and Bell aroud him (and Collingwood, I suppose), England would benefit more from a very good captain who contributes 35 or so runs per innings than a mediocre captain who contributes 40+.
