Shmoses posted:He came in then they got whitewashed, lost to Sri Lanka, and then the WC right? Not a sparkling CV nah; he came in a year before that in October 2013 - he's had an Ashes whitewash; a T20 World Cup in which England lost to the Netherlands, a home test series lost against Sri Lanka - pretty much the only good part of that time was the last three tests against India and even then England weren't that good.

Downton was a key figure in the character assassination of the beloved and honest Englishman KP.

Downton was the only Ally Moores had and with him gone if England dont win this series easily he'll get fired. Cook should be making GBS threads himself too. If he doesn't get scoring again they'll have Pieterson in his spot in days.

All the reports seem to be saying that Whittaker's for the high jump (yay) but that there's lots of support for Moores. Which only goes to prove how deep the rot goes.

They've decided that England are going to bowl for 90 overs today and bat for 90 overs tomorrow, which means that you'll probably see England players bowl and bat on both days

Vaughan is favourite for the new, rejigged role Downton has been fired from. Pietersons odds of returning to the England side have come down from 25-1 to 2-1. Its happening.

On the Mumbai Indians support staff page, Tendulkar's role is listed as "Icon." Sounds like a really difficult job tbh. http://www.mumbaiindians.com/team/team-2015/support-staff?scroll_to=966

I'm not 100% sure on his four-day Tests idea, it might work in England, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, but I don't know if the days are long enough in the subcontinent and the West Indies to have it without ridiculous amount of time lost to bad light.

Paul.Power posted:He was chairman of Yorkshire. Given they just won the Championship and are supplying nearly half the England squad, he certainly has plenty of mandate to lay down some owns. He also arrived in Yorkshire when they were in much the same state as England are now. His primary solution was to fire everyone and appoint competent people. I'm very optimistic about him.

Is that confirmed as a genuine idea? I seem to recall it first appeared on April 1st.

tarbrush posted:All the reports seem to be saying that Whittaker's for the high jump (yay) but that there's lots of support for Moores. well i guess the argument would be that sacking the incumbent coach means they would have to consider a complete re-jig of the side and game plan, and the inevitable period of losses that it brings. if they gave the current coach more support to achieve then they could turn things around faster. of course, they are already loving terrible so the fact they have a lot of support to keep moores shows how out of touch with reality they are

4 day tests are a shadow plan to move all test match cricket to countries that can afford high quality floodlighting at every stadium.

^^For something specific? So yesterday England spent 50-odd overs bowling at England. Are they going to do it again today, or will Cook just want some more gentle batting practice against the part-timers?

Cricket app is now showing the under 19 games?  Does anyone know anyone that works with this app? Curious to see where they're pushing it. Hoping this raises a bit more attention for the women's games as well, maybe they'll be properly televised in the future too through the cricket au site.
