I think Crouch is the better player, but Heskey has that slightly more "explosive" edge to him. Crouch probably gives away more free kicks at international level than he ought to (sometimes through no real fault of his own) and that may explain Capello's preference. My guess is though that Heskey works the full backs harder when their in posession, is a better presser.
Crouch would offer more goal threat I think, but the type of goals he scores are scored less at International level than they are in the Premiership. In truth, neither are really International footballers and I can totally understand Capello wanting to give an extended try to Agbonlahor. If O' Neill can keep educating him and continue his improvement, the spot could well be his.
