[six and out]

Seems the quiet money is on Richard Dawson for the interim role in the Windies.
I was at uni with him😂. But he has played and coached at Yorkshire, played a few tests and coached at Gloucester before being the Eng u19 coach.

Doing a good job with the U19's at the moment TBF.

I don't mind that as an interim solution, while they work on getting someone in long term and whether their splitting the coaching roles.

Dawson was really highly rated during his spell with Glos, good choice for an iterim coach I'd say. Wonder who's picking the squad, now that should be an interesting read!

Dawson the clubbie offie who played out in Aus that one time? Got to be kidding me

Pretty much. The guy Steve Waugh smashed around Sydney to get his redemptive 100 (I was there). We actually won that game mind you.

Harrison should go and John Neale should be removed from the role of Head of Coach Development - we're now seeing the fruits of the coaching programmes he started to put in -

Thorpe confirmed gone too, not a moment too soon.

Already seeing the dafties out in force saying Cook/Pietersen/Vaughan should be the new batting/assistant coach 🤦‍♂️ how about someone with a proven track record of coaching?

The list is short if none existant, to find someone with the right coaching experience and also someone the players will be able to look up to which at thet level is important.

Interim coaches looks to be favourite. I think our new coach needs a batting background as that is our weakness.

Kirsten will only do one format as he said last time he was interviewed and with the one day and test format needing different skills I think separate coaches is the way we will now go.

Having Silverwood responsible for T20,one day, tests and chief selector was a monumental failure of management.

It will of saved the ECB money to do it that way.

High time we invested in the test side long term but will we do it with the money making format being limited over cricket?

[six and out]

If they want someone big, then with the schedule they have I don't see them getting anyone without splitting the white ball and test coaching roles.

Get Kirsten in I reckon for the test team. Gutsy player, no nonsense kind of guy- has some kahunas and a strong rep.  This  type of coach has worked (for a period) and led to some success.

Was that the one when he basically batted on one leg and got to 100 late in the day? Now he was a gutsy player!

Aparently Justin Langer is in the frame for full time role

Does he have any other Kookaburras? 😂

Just some big kahunas

Justin Langer is looking for a new job apparently. How about someone like Adam Voges?

[rickjames]

I'm conflicted on Langer in that he'd make life a pain in the (No Swearing Please), but at the same time they all clearly need a massive kick up the backside
