I don�t get this. Why is coaching England so much harder than any other country?

Is there a another country with 2 coaches?

Do England play that much more than the other countries (and if so, why)?

Or is it simply that Baylis isn�t up to it?

2 coaches? What about coaching staff?

I think we will see a rise in numbers in both coaches and staff for all teams. Why? Because of increasing competition and professionalism.

Crickets, whether it is (inter)national team level or pro-t-20 circuit, is heading to the way of rest of the professional sports, more money, more expectation, higher standards, and more coaches with a retinue of coaching staff.

Yes, England do play more. The season is divided between our season and the Antipodean season. England play all of them. No other country do.

I think it's a fairly tough gig. High level of expectation despite cricket being a minority sport here. Playing 12 months of the year living in hotel rooms. The vested interests of the counties and a first class system not geared towards producing international players. High level of media scrutiny.

I certainly don't see that it is a job anyone could hold down for more than a few years in post

Probably the two worst candidates are now favourites

Mickey Arthur�s been dumped by Pak and ottis Gibson has been dumped by SA

I rate Mickey Arthur!

Pakistan cricket is strife with politics. As a Pak fan, I think Pakistan had a good worldcup.. a few games here and there due to weather and things could have gone differently.
They ended up where they belong.

I think Pakistan will regret getting rid of Mickey. Mickey did a great job with players he had at his disposable and I as a Pakistan fan will miss him as I fear what crazy decisions will be made!

I would prefer to see Graham Ford get the role.
Chris Silverwood is the favourite.

Was Jason Gillespie never in the running ? Heard he�s phenomenal

rickjames · « **Reply #8 on:** August 07, 2019, 10:21:47 PM »

Don't think Gillespie has had the desire to be involved in international cricket again

My money is on one of Arthur or Gibson

Sussex aren�t doing much in the CC so doubt Gillespie is top of the ECB�s list
