Silverwood


Giles, Silverwood and LJ all sacked
Defoe, and potentially Keano + a good coach (ponting, kirsten) all coming in
What a week

Bit out of the league 1 loop ;) but didn't know Defoe had gone back to Sunderland. Know he's got history up there but still a bit of a catch
 
I've defdned Root recently,not because I dont think he has been poor over last year

he has

but I think people have amnesia and forget about all the serieshe has won previously and forget about the bigger issues inbatting etc that he cant control

However

Giles and Silverwood both go, not sure Root should stay personally

the fact the players want him to stay for me is a reason why he shouldnt

there is always someone else

pick an XI then pick a captain
Edit: Also sorry I am blabbing on

I think Covid and 17 tests in a year is amassive reason but when your senior batsman, Burns, Root, Stokes, Buttlerdont score any runs in the Ashes,the coach cant be blamed forthat

these are lads who have all played 30 tests

you cn point reasons to why each one has struggled, but at end of day its downto them

Yep agree totally he had to go, as judged by results, but ultimately the players above like you say failed to put enough runs on the board.

That can’t all be down to the coach whoever that coach maybe
Silverwood + LJ gone. Need a Boris Johnson resignation and it's been a blinding week.
That last one just a matter of time mate!

Good but Harrison needs to go. It's all good and well getting rid of Giles and Silverwood, but the main problem still exists.
Looks like Harrison is staying :neutral:

From Dobell's latest article
"One man who will be going nowhere, however, is Tom Harrison. The ECB chief executive has seen colleagues, including the former chair, resign or be sacked in recent months, but has retained his position. It might be noted that Harrison is due to receive a significant bonus from the ECB in the coming weeks."
