Didn't agree with his sppointment and still don't.

That said, I tend to judge coaches on tests rather than ODIs. He hasnt fucked up enough to deserve the axe but I doubt he'll see out 2015.

I think the walls are closing around him at ECB with sackings and new appointments.

Added to that, this ashes comes 18 months too early for this team to be really competitive. Batsmen are coming along nicely on the whole, especially younger lads. Bowling a little bare but Jordan has given glimpses of what the selectors see.

Moores looks like a lib dem to me for what its worth
 
Peter Moores is a great coach of young cricketer s and should have a role coaching England cricketers in the under 15 - under 19 level. He isn't a manager of men though and shouldn't be coach of our national side.

Maybe true, but Nasser and Co have maintained that the players, especially the young ones like him, are close to him, and what him to stay.

I'd have somebody else but the hatred he gets on here is pathetic

This isn't football, the coach doesn't have as much say as people think, the captain is in charge, not Moores. He is just there to prepare them.

Was it Vaughan or Strauss who, when heard that Moores was being considered again for the job went to the EBC to warn them off? I can't recall but one of the is said to have done that.

Also, on the coach / captain bit I don't think the division of labour is cut and dried. Certainly Flower by his own admission had a greater say with Cook as captain than with Strauss.

Remark typical of the long format snobbery in the English game.

The future of test cricket is looking pretty bleak, we could be down to three or four nations in a few years. We need to learn to be competitive in all formats. Moores shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the one day or T20 sides.

absolutely no chance in hell

its not snobbery, test cricket is what matters most to English cricket fans, it gets the biggest crowds, and it was the team is judged on

Obviously we need to sort our ODI stuff big time, but tests are still more important

The issue is that it is starting to matter very little to most other cricket fans....Australia maybe excepted...interest will wane even amongst the English supporters if there is a perception that it is not the main focus of our opponents, imho.

The future of world cricket isn't driven by English cricket fans.

Outside England and the Ashes, attendances are really poor. There is no money in it, which questions its long term future.
