Peter Moores appointed new England coach

[Richard]

He could hardly end with 10-18-0 in his penultimate game, could he?

 

[Hoppy1987]

Mike Yardy's England career on the up, then.

yep hopefully, and prior!

 

[Barney Rubble]

I've now officially bowled in front of the England coach. I think. Awesome.

Decent appointment I think, as long as he doesn't end up cricket's McClaren, which I don't think is likely.

Thought you were a batsman?

I am, that's what makes it funny.

 

[Richard]

You should be disappointed not to have batted in front of him, ITBT.

I actually can't remember whether I did or not, TBH. There's a chance I might have done. I only found out after the session that one of the guys who was supervising it was Moores - the other was Chris Adams, along with my school coaches - so I wasn't really taking note at the time.

My bowling probably didn't impress him too much, though.

 

[The Baconator]

Hadn't heard of him before. Hope he does a good job.

 

[Richard]

Hadn't heard of him before.

Pitt or Moores?

Moores to succeed Fletcher

A typical Yes man for the ECB, and its on the cheap as well

 

[Richard]

Even by your standards, that's a funny one...

Very true.

It's another **** the bed, Steve MClaren type appointment appointment.

 

[Richard]

FFS, why is this account not banned?

 

[pasag]

Peter who?

 

[honestbharani]

is his record good as a coach? And how was he as a player in his days? I have never heard of him before this, tbh.

Same but then I'm not the biggest follower of English cricket domestic wise.

Oi you, who said you could change your avatar?

You still have a week of B*Witched to complete, but I'll let you off given your devotion to Lara and his recent announcement. You can complete that week a later date.

And yes, he's an excellent coach who's achieved a good deal. Wasn't much of a player, but to-date evidence suggests that's generally a good thing.

ECB may regret Moores appointment: Brearley

From today's Observer.

Interesting article from one of our most respected cricketing voices. I think Brearley certainly has a point about the haste of Moores's appointment & the lack of a fair & open recruitment process.
