It's not the players to blame it is the idiots coaching and running things, until that is swept clean and a new start then things won't change.

At least the rain stopped a potential banana skin against the Paddies today.

Moores is gone.

Reminds me of the Aussies two years ago getting rid of the "homework" coach

So the quote in the media was true heads (or at least a head) did roll.

I liked this bit of analysis and agree with it:

"We have a cautious captain and coach (Moores), they are not going to change. They don't have any imagination. If Andrew Strauss is the new ECB director, it will stay the same. He likes Cook. We'll keep on with the same people and things won't change."

However, it was made by that ultra aggressive attacking batsman Geoffrey Boycott.:hoho:

Chances of a KP return ?

I suppose there could be. Assuming that he plays regularly in the County Championship and scores a few runs.

To me the big problems at the moment are who is going to open the batting and who will be the main spin bowler. A couple of players could have been put in the side against the WIndies and see how they fared. But instead it was decided to play the strongest team available, adopt a defensive strategy and draw the series. Missed a big opportunity, gained nothing and now have to hope whoever is selected in those roles to hit the ground running in two tough Test series against NZ and the Aussies.

Well KP hit 326no today for Surrey let's see if he gets the nod for the NZ tests

I heard he's been told not to bother packing.

Sounds about right he gets told to score runs at county level to be considered , duly obliges then gets told to fuck off !! I bet there is some people in the ECB that would rather lose the ashes than have Pieterson back in the team

Seems like Strauss is one of them, Reg



KP We Dont Want You





Maybe Mr Boycott is right. Under Strauss it all going to stay the same. Nothing will change



Which will be good for the Kiwis and Aussies


And if any Aussie accepts the English cricket coaching job, he should immediately be strung up from the nearest tree. No trial needed. The penalty for treason.
