Downton already said yesterday Moores stays.

Would someone like to burn some bails, put them in an urn and... Oh. Wait a minute....

Because we are still in the World Cup. Yes, we cannot qualify but there is still one game to go.

No point sacking anyone or doing any knee-jerk reactions until they are at least back in the UK.

I don't think it's knee jerk. Everyone has been calling for Whittiker, Downton and Moores's head for months. Let alone the rest of the coaches etc

Everyone?

Or just a small number on here?

To sack someone now, would be a knee jerk reaction. We need to look at the data before making a decision like that :-)

The ones that I know who are calling for their heads have only started saying that recently. Whilst several in here have said it for a while, most have not and new to the calling of heads.

The failure here and the potential Ashes humiliation might be enough to create change.

Should Moores go, probably. Should he go before the last game. No. No point ruining one last game especially when another defeat might build a stronger case against him. If his team loses to a minnow then he will look worse. His stock will not rise with a victory.

Should the others go?  I dunno, I don't really know what they do.

I think a lot of even moderately cricket people know about (and often dislike) downton for his handling of the KP issue, as regardless of whether you want him in the team, its been a monumental sock up.

Before any decisions are made, we need to "review the data".

If you see the stick England cricket are getting on Facebook after every post, you would soon realise that most of the cricketing public aren't very happy with Moore's, downton and co.

Don't forget the biggest snob of them all Giles Clarke. The old boys club needs to go!

I would say Mick Newell should replace Moores, as he has an outstanding record over several seasons.

But I'm not sure what kind of family he comes from.

In 160 ODIs, Bell has as many hundreds as Sangakkara does in his last 4 games. Spmething to work on!

Another coach without international experience but a good county record, sounds a bit like somebody we know!

The irony is we have been focusing on ODI cricket since August, I don't think any other full ICC member had that luxury and we still didn't have the right team playing. Which just proves our game is run by bumbling idiots, sack the lot.

id give the new chairman a crack, but then get some quality ex England players in there (to run the England set up) who know what's needed to win at international level not some county run of the mill who have never played in a world cup or succeeded in the heat of a test series with Aus/SA etc.  Botham, Hussain, Gower, Willis, Atherton, Flintoff, Swann, Stewart, Butcher Vaughan et al put down your mic's your country needs you!
