Ashes Inquest


it's staggering the amount of players coming out and digging the setup. someone surely orchestrating it to get rid of Key and his cronies

It is definitely gathering momentum. I am sure I quickly saw something from David Willey yesterday but when I have searched for the article this morning I can't find anything since 2023 when he was quite critical when retiring from international cricket. Bairstow was a bit of an interesting one for me, as I saw him and Key together at Lords during the India test last year, but I think he was there for some sort of presentation for his 100th cap?

Dave Willey in Cricketer Newsletter.
"You see a lot of people come away from that set-up a bit sour and bitter, which to me says something's not been done quite as it should be.

"I'd be very surprised if there are not phone calls made.

"But I think just a little bit more emotional intelligence could be called for, and maybe they just need to look a bit closer at how they do things."

It would seem Mr McCullum himself "wears his intelligence lightly"
 
Most articles are behind paywalls, but yeah does seem a growing number of people not happy with the current regime
 
Root, Brook, Duckett and Tongue all not playing in the opening round of fixtures. Sigh.

TBF Brook has had a heavy workload all winter so can understand that one but there’s no reason whatsoever why the other 3 aren’t playing.

I reckon Duckett probably isn’t too happy. Pulled out of IPL to play and probably doesn’t want to draw too much negative attention to himself.
