Until KP scores some runs for Surrey everything else regarding his comeback is irrelevant.

Agreed. Has shown flashes of good form, but hasn't kicked on and got a big championship score yet. 170, 19, 53*, 32 and 8* is a promising start though. A big hundred in his next game and he'll be looking good.

This. Great pundit but 'goes to the same tailors' as the current management team.

Good article and I agree totally on this occasion with Boycott. More of the same is why we stalled after we became no. 1 test-playing nation. The game doesn't stay still and we haven't moved on since 5 years ago. It doesn't take long to turn around a side with the right captain and coach - here, I'm specifically looking at the Aussies when Lehman took over a few years ago. They went from being rubbish to excellent in the course of a year.

Seems Swann thinks Strauss is a good choice
I wonder what Boycott would have said if a Yorkshireman was given the role ie Vaughan

Ex player recommends his former captain is a good choice. Not much of a recommendation for me! Does seem to me a bit of "here's the new boss, same as the old boss"

It's funny reading that article. No-one knows the job brief, but whatever it is, Straussy is the best for it! :rofl:

Vaughan ruled himself out, think he has too many others things on media wise and would want more freedom to change things than appears to be being offered

Why can't we have a fella like Gayle at the top of the order? What a player this man is. 117* off 53 balls, his 5th IPL century. Has 3055 IPL runs at 48.49 and gets them at a strike rate of 155.15. What a player.
Think you'll find he's a one off and even if English cricket found someone, he'd have this natural ability coached out of him and told that it's not sporting to keep hitting it away from the fielders.

When it comes to T20 we currently have the No 3 ranked batsmen in the World with Gayle at 6

Rankings mean nothing. Especially when the other ten players don't contribute. Same in any team sport

It's the right decision. Moores was poor last time, and has been as bad this time. Maybe KP was right in trying to bin him in India when he was skipper? Hopefully Gillespie will take the gig and start taking us forwards. He's done a superb job at Yorkshire!

Moores going is the right thing
Never been good enough at the top level
Interesting to hear Dizzy and Langer are in the frame but not sure if they should be in charge of the England team as an Ashes series comes around
If going abroad then would prefer to look at Kirsten and would give Donald a go ?

Think Langer is a great choice. Never seems to be a problem when foreign sides have used English coaches and come over here. At least he'll know all about the opposition and maybe can find a team to stop an Ashes whitewash but there again I'm not sure he does miracles

Pretty sure Langer is next in line for the Aussie job so unlikely to be a realistic option
