Yeah, I'd be very surprised if he wouldn't. One of the biggest jobs in world cricket, and his ideal one obviously isn't likely to open up anytime soon.

Andy Flower...considering his future?

Something like that wouldn't even factor into his thinking IMO. Not wanting to coach against his mate? So if South Australia had offered him the job when Boof coached Queensland he wouldn't have took it? Nonsense.

Its not kneejerk though, i was on here 6 months ago saying i hope Flower goes after these series, whenever we play a good team under him we are exposed, this time we have been more than exposed, we have been bent over and bummed repeatedly by every Aussie and then kicked to the curb when their done, complete humiliation, can't help being really pissed off with the shambles, seems like most of the English fans on here are generally happy to let them get away with it, sod that and **** them tbh, i hope the lot of them follow that ****house Swann out the door.

Fact is that Flower has been appallingly let down by a pretty experienced bunch of players. Nine innings completed, and not one of our guys has made 300 runs in the series is a shocking statistic that says everything about their lack of stomach for the game. No wonder he says he wants to stick around to wield the big knife and enjoy getting rid of them.
Drastic changes now needed and Flower needs to get it right. The ECB have firmly backed him even after this latest debacle. He must indeed be firmly in credit with them.

Anyone see him nearly get all chirpy and sarcastic earlier when answering questions, just in time he thought better of it, im just annoyed looking at him now.
Another thing which grates, why is it whenever he used to get asked about his future when England were winning he would be all coy and never give a direct answer, now after England have been utterly bummed senseless hes piping up that he definately wants to stay and is staying and will build a new team etc...
You wait in the summer against India, we will be batting for draws on day 2 again, the whole negative mindset and dour cricket wont ever change with him in charge.

Hes well out of credit now, he should be massively in debt after this, hes just presided over possibly the worst most embarrassingly gutless ****house performance ever, not just by the English cricket team but by any English/British sporting team in history.

Athers and Nasser had some bad teams but this one was worse. 5 nil in the manner it was accepted should have the players and the coaches being questioned. Was Flower this negative as a player? I remember him being a decent bat but didnt see Zimbabwe that often.
Mike Selvey has wrote today that Flower staying on is contingent on KP being dropped. If that is the case then its Adios Andy for me. Done a lot of very good things for England cricket but we need a new direction, new style of play and KP needs to be a part of that.

Absolutely, the audacity of this man is a ****ing joke, who the hell does he think he is to be setting conditions for his services after the abortion we have just witnessed.
If you are reading this Flower, **** off you arrogant ****!

I sincerely doubt he's throwing ultimatums about. I more picture it that he thinks KP should be axed and if he doesn't have the selectors' backing on it then they probably need a new man in charge.
