SACK MOTT!


Think it's a transitional period for the ODI side though, just off the back of one of the best white ball sides in history (let alone just England's).
 
The captaincy and big calls have been terrible since the T20 World Cup win

It’s hard to say who is to blame as surely the captain has the final say

Felt criticism of bairstow and jacks n co after Australia was really poor when the bowling, captaincy and management cost us the game

They did win the World Cup tho Buttler, Mott so they deserve chance to defend it

However I’d replace both after the tournament
 
I feel there are a canny few who this is the final hurrah in a t20 World Cup

Of course they are all good players with excellent records but most are well into their 30s now and we have to sometime draft in some youth

No one will ever convince that Buttler is a good capt, and Mott isn't a complete and utter fraud at this level

I think Buttler should give the gloves to salt

Again we were nearly having to field with an extra man in the circle, takes too long when he runs to have a word with the bowler

Not sure if other teams are having problem getting the overs in

As I posted earlier the buck stops with Key.Mott hadn't the experience and can't command the respect from the players.

I think Key made a mistake appointing Mott and has to take responsibility for that.

It was puzzling as I am fairly sure some more capable and experienced coaches would have took such a sort after job

But on the other side of the coin appointing McCullum and Stokes for the test side was a absolute masterstroke that almost immediately turned our fortunes around from rock bottom to winning a lot of games in a brilliant way especially for the first 18 months.

So has Key got more positives in the bank than negatives?

He has for me

Remember ,Stokes put himself forward for the job and there wasn't_any viable alternative so I hardly think it can be claimed as a master stroke. Not so sure that there were many alternatives to McCullum either. Wasn't_Langer rumoured to having turned it down?.
Key expresses some garbage views imo. His views on the pace attack for the Ashes being one.
