is Peter Moores the unsung hero of English Cricket?

Andy Flower will, quite rightly, gain
many plaudits. But it is worth
recalling the influence of Peter
Moores, too. It was Moores who
gave big breaks to Swann,
Anderson and Prior and Moores
who first called-up Trott into the
England limited-overs set-up. It
was Moores, too, who set-up the
Academy and Lions systems that
have helped the likes Finn and Root
move seamlessly from the county
to the international game. He really
is one of the unsung heroes of
England cricket.

it is an interesting thought....

Erm, interesting but wrong.   Anderson and Prior were already part of the wider set up when he arrived and the Academy set up was already well established!

didn't Flower credit Moores earlier in the post match interview?
