I don't think it really mattered what he did when he was in charge of the Aussie women, they were so superior in both talent and funding that they could run themselves. That they had such a natural leader in Lanning too made it even easier.
But he did win the 2021 T20 World Cup, the problem was that that was clearly a very talented team come to the natural end of their time together. It needed to be broken up then, but it hasn't been. Quite why the likes of Wood, Jordan, Bairstow, Livingstone are still in this squad I have no idea. As for leadership, it ought to be better. It's not like Buttler and Moeen don't have an abundance of experience of playing at the top of the game with some of the most influential leaders (Morgan, Dhoni), yet they continue to make such basic errors on team selection that the rest of us have all highlighted way before they even happen.
Excellent point this. I really don't care that much if we get knocked out, I'll be far more invested in the Euros anyway. Concerning that someone like me should feel this way, are the less committed even watching? With WI and SL to follow, it's almost like an entire International Summer of Cricket will probably just pass on by.
