London, Jan. 6 : England fast bowler Stephen Harmison has said that he would like coach Peter Moores and skipper Kevin Pietersen to resolve their differences sooner than later, as that will be good for the England team.
Moores, the head coach, and Pietersen, the captain, are set for crisis talks this week with Moores''s job understood to be on the line.

London, Jan. 6 : The England and Wales Cricket Board has apparently given the green light to approach Graham Ford to become the cricket team's new coach.
South African Ford is the bookies' favourite to replace Peter Moores, who looks increasingly likely to lose his job this week following a bust-up with captain Kevin Pietersen.
Kent for whom Ford is their director of cricket, has said that it would not stand in his way if the England job came knocking.
Sydney, Jan. 6 : Australian opener Mathew Hayden may have played his last knock in Tests at the Sydney Cricket Ground today.
He fell for 39 in the morning session, departing to a respectful applause from the crowd who wondered if the 103-Test veteran had played his last innings.
South African pacer Morne Morkel bowled the Queensland left-hander after he had struck seven fours in a better display than his first-innings 31, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.

That is a status the current administration has not changed, the Daily Times reported.
Karachi, Jan 5: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wants to host Australia in a proposed one-day series in April at home, a board official has said.
The official said the PCB wants to resume international cricket in Pakistan, and added that a series against Australia will be a major step towards that direction.
He rejected reports that the PCB is planning to host the series that will include five One-day Internationals and a Twenty20 game in Kuala Lumpur or any other offshore venue.
"We would only explore the option of a neutral venue if Australia expressed any security concerns," the official said on condition of anonymity.
