With Ponting, Jawardene and Gibson seemingly out of the running, who would peoples preferred choice be for the roles?

Test: Kirsten
ODI: Nixon (Very Impressive credentials)

In my opinion

Discuss.
 

Test: Kirsten by a long, long way. Best candidate by far

ODI: I'm happy with Colly. Knows the system, knows the players, highly rated coach

Katich one of favourite too

A lot of the ones I want don’t even want it

What makes Kirsten stand out is he really does want to manage the test team specifically

I got the impression listening to key on the pods he wasn’t covinced by him in terms of he thought the success there was led by captains

I think people are being a bit dismissive of the white ball coach mind; it’s important. I’ve felt we just lost our way there w bit last few years

My first choice there would be Trevor Baylis all day long, he’s perfect for it and he has a really good eye for a white ball player in my option

Probs be too soon though

:eek: is that you agreeing word for word with me?


Forgot about Farbrace, be happy with him

Cant help feel Ford's time has passed

Fords a great coach. KP swears by him (and given his opinion on coaches he must be doing something right).
Key knows him well.
Think Ford is more a players coach rather than a head coach if that makes sense and this England batting unit probably needs that right now
 
The process will take a few weeks, when's the first test, June?
ODI/T20 Morgan is in control there, so they don't really need a Head Coach. But i reckon Collingwood would get it as the players like and want him
