    Moores stamps his authority

    By Will last year, mid-May Leave a comment on this post

    I suppose it isn’t too surprising that a new coach wants to have his closest allies by his side, but the axing of Matthew Maynard and prompt replacement of Andy Flower did show one thing. Peter Moores, the new England coach, will do things his way. Flower’s been working with Moores at the Academy, I think on a part-time basis due to his commitments with Essex. And as ever, a new appointment brings a flurry of quotes from people saying how amazing and wonderful Flower is, a blooming marvellous batting coach, etc.

    Who will be next on Moores’ culling list?

    “blooming”

    Ah, yes, the name that launched a thousand puns!

    Well, they’d better enjoy the honeymoon coz it don’t last long.

    Has Kevin Shine been sacked yet? If not, why not? Our bowling has regressed on his watch, and it seems apparent that he hasn’t managed to foster a relationship of trust with the bowlers yet. Is he still being paid? What for?

    Darn! When I first read the cricinfo article, I was so impressed - Flowers seemed like such a prodigy at the tender age of 3…

    They’ve corrected it now. *sigh*

    I just hope he has stamen power, and isn’t a pollenanna when it comes to England’s chances…

    I guess the England team gets to look forward to some Mooreish architecture?

    Next on the culling list? Shine hopefully.

    Two of our bowling attack admit they weren’t prepared for the Brisbane Test…

    Saj Mahmood appears to have regressed as a bowler since last summer…

    Not an impressive record.

    No chance of a thread on who should be in the England team for the First Test, I suppose?
