returning home to Australia and prob at the end of his sell by date

With Ramprakash and Thorpe involved in some way with England's coaching who would the forum like to see be our new bowling coach?

[tate035]

Darren Gough

[tate035]

A person a lot of people speak highly of... Steffan Jones

[FattusCattus]

Brett Lee
Alan Donald
Otis Gibson
Javagal Srinath
Ian Pont
Craig White

[Buzz]

Add to @FattusCattus' list - Graeme Welch and Richard Johnson

[six and out]

looks like he is leaving to become Melbourne Renegades Head Coach

for me sack off Moores appoint Gillespie and you already have one there - if you really need a separate one then i would love to see Brett Lee given a go

[ProCricketer1982]

Gillespie - head
Ponting - batting
Lee - bowling
Colly - fielding
Warne - spin

done

Gillespie has said he wouldn't be interested in an England coaching role at the moment I believe, more than happy at Yorkshire.

[uknsaunders]

Ian Pont or Steffan Jones seem to be the bowling Guru's on twitter, why not give them a go?

Gough might be a ODI option but there is a difference between having the ability as a player and transferring those skills to others.

no one would refuse a dam good pay day and total control of selection etc.

Echo that Procricketer, Moores hasn't worked out has he?

it's all very well saying 'not interested' out of respect for someone in the job, it's a bit different if the job became available and yes , ''here's 250 grand a year''

As for those, and yes some on this forum,who don't want to have an Aussie in charge-wake up and smell the roses..we(England) need some major changes and the nationality of the coach should be irrelevant

the boss of Yorkshire CC has just taken over the ECB top job, would that be a connection with Gillespie for England down the line?

While i dont normally like talking about coaches based on their playing skills, an international bowling coach should be more of a sounding board than actual coach. So which intelligent bowlers have we had in recent years?

Richard Johnson could be a good shout, although he only olayed a bit for England.

[SOULMAN1012]

1 down a few more to go just need the head coach to go now as well but I think he needs to be pushed, stats will tell him he needs to stay no doubt.

Batting coaches need a good look in mirror as well, both elements of our game were poor in WC and have been for many years but the golf between other nations and ours is vast. Even the minnows play or attempt to play a better brand and there coaches are probably part time in some cases.

Gillespie is a great shout as head coach, could never see Ponting working for us but would be class as would say Lara, no idea if either has relevant coaching badges etc but pure legends of the game that both played attacking cricket before it was the norm.

is holding a badge relevant?? surely it's about their knowledge and ability rather than what piece of qualification paper they hold?? We know from every walk of life that those that hold the qualifications don't always make the best choices. Sometimes it's the ones who know their stuff but don't follow the academic path?

[SLC]

Don't think Lara has ever done any coaching, so he wouldnt be a realistic candidate.
