Good day for ecb to bury news. If you think they're scheming so and sos.

Pretty classless by the ecb letting him go to the match today.

Once again the ECB fail.

Cook as captain should be the first to go, rather than Moores in my view.

both really (flower, whittikar etc too).. But yes, if I had to get rid of one.. cook as capt would be first choice.

Must be true if it's in the papers given how much the ecb leaks info out to them.

Moores should never have been selected and given a second go.

So it's "Moore's Going" rather than gone.

There was a stop on some bookies taking money on Gillespie the other day, he was being backed that heavily.

I guess if he was the best candidate that applied, then he should have been given a shot.  As long as the ECB learn from mistakes going forward (even though they may not have done in the past).

Seems Colin Graves is having an impact.

I don't think Cook should go yet, I think you wait until the new coach is in to make that decision.  If you sack Cook now then the new coach wants Cook, it'll be more ECB egg on their face.

Nothing  is going to happen untill Struss is appointed next week.

yeah this looks a bit premature...newspapers taken a gamble to get a story maybe?

England's test cricket is not bad at all recently, one dayers yes we need a change but Moores at least you would think would get a chance this summer. Otherwise it's a very short appointment.

[uknsaunders]

Clever money after the world cup was on Graves keeping Moores around long enough to get stuffed by NZ/Aus and giving a new coach a blank piece of paper to rebuild without pressure. Appointing Strauss now would fit that timeline, I don't believe Strauss is going to fire anyone without having a good look at the setup and making some recommendations first. 4 months ought to do it 

I don't think Strauss is KP's ideal candidate though

Really? The lack of a proper spinner is a concern, and that 3 day defeat against "a mediocre" West Indies side was a disgraceful display.

Yes true there are areas to work on. England have lost some significant players recently. It very much depends whether your view is England are in a 'transitional' period or you expect results straight away...

and I actually though calling the West Indies mediocre was very disrespectful and they deserved a shared series.
We are flat lining after a great period.A new ish middle order,new keeper and I think we will need some new bowlers coming thru soon, Broad and Anderson cant carry on forever.....
