[brandon]

Has been ‘tasked’ with writing a report into the failings of the England Test team…

… That’s the same Ashley Giles who has been in charge of development of English Test Cricketers since 2015. Around about the time it all started going to shit.

Rotten to the f*cking core.

 

[TheRey]

Like the Tories investigating themselves.

Disgrace, needs to be independent but he knows he'd be out of a job

 

[Raker]

It’s not hard, I’ll do it if they like.

The ashes tour

f***ing shite.

The end

Giles has always been a fraud and a failure. Most of us on here have known that for years of course, but everything he’s touched post-playing career has turned to shit.

Well, at least it'll be a short report - he can just write his name at the top

He should be writing his resignation.

His playing career was shite anarl.

Whey, Ashes winner and that.

Minimal contribution though.

He's one of these chinless establishment types that always thrive, or should I say survive in senior sporting admin roles.

Definite Tory voter too I bet.

 

[Parkside]

Of course he'll get top jobs -he's the king of spin.

 

[Aidan11]

He's also on the board if England Netball.

I've now idea how he got that role.

Bit harsh. Whilst he only managed 10 wickets (at a heavy average iirc) he did contribute. Got in and scored the winning runs at Trent Bridge and then got an impressive 50 odd with a 100 odd partnership with KP to get the draw at The Oval which meant we regained the Urn.

Not a man to be a leader in English cricket though, that much is obvious.

Did ok no more

Mo Ali contributed more to ashes win for example
He’s just not a leader

Compare him to Strauss

 

[The Breen Machine]

I didn't mind him as a cricketer but he's just not inspiring in the slightest.

I'm never convinced that he knows what he's talking about or even that he believes what he is saying

Problem is Tom Harrison, who is under his own pressures, now the one to judge Giles

really want Strauss as chief executive
