Released by Pakistan.

Would you have him as Bayliss' replacement?

 

[smoker]

No.

 

[Fletch73]

No.

Who then?
Colly/Silverwood combo?
Or do we need a completely fresh start test-wise with someone from outside the current set-up?

 

[pavarotti1980]

Gillespie?

 

[brandon]

Paul Collingwood.

I think the position is over-valued. Does an International cricket captain need input from another source? The key post is the chairman of selectors-Ed Smith's response to the 1st test debacle is the crucial issue.

 

[Silly Point]

Don't know but my primary interview question would be how do you intend to improve us as a Test side and what measures would you put in place. See what they all come up with

Do you mean an International Cricket Captain who knows what he's doing or the captain we've got?

I also felt Cook wasn't a good captain and only learnt how to be just before he left the job.

Good point.Agree totally about Root and Cook who, to be fair, had little or no captaincy experience before being given the England captaincy. Seems Colly would be the best available for the role. Not so sure Root would heed advice though.

Andrew Mc Donald was lurking around Smith/Taylor/Giles at the test match. Wonder if there's anything in that ?

He has just been apppointed coach for the Birmingham based 100 team (he was on TMS talking about it). I suspect that would be his reasoning for sniffing around

 

[Safc_Luke]

Didn't know that. Makes sense now.

Running Birmingham in the Hundred next year

Released by Pakistan.

Nah, won’t happen

Busted flush

He will no doubt be sniffing a position in the new SA set up

Brendon McCullum .. untested but thinks differently.. this is what we need.

Silverwood, Farbrace, Mike Hesson, Gary Kirsten, Gillespie.

Aye, more slogging in red ball cricket - exactly why we need

Been there done that. Back to Test match basics now please

TBF McCullum's NZ seemed to square the circle of playing expansive test cricket without collapsing like a pack of cards.

But why appoint McCullum when you could have the coach (Hesson)?
