Duncan Fletcher on TMS
By Will last year, mid-November Add your comment below
On Friday I happened to be sat in the bar where I interviewed Duncan Fletcher two years ago, when his autobiography caused such a flapping, and it reminded me firstly of how uncomfortable he seemed to be – arms in his jacket pocket or folded defensively – yet how impressively dogged he remained. He had his opinion, he’d made his choices, and he stuck by them. It may not have come across in the piece I wrote, but by the end of the interview I came to admire his bloodymindedness. It helped bring England a lot of success.
Anyway, Duncan’s back and is making an appearance on Test Match Special this winter. He’s since defected to the Boks as a consultant coach, whatever the fuck that means, so it’ll be interesting to hear Agnew and co attempt to prise any blood from that famously stoney stone.
