INFJ.

i got introduced to the briggs/myers system a few years ago and did find it pretty accurate and useful when applied to team building

[braveneutral]

I found it a scarily accurate depiction of me.

your "type" does change over time as life experiences and the environment you are in can change how you approach things and how you make decisions

when i first did it i was ENTP and stayed at that any time i re-did the test for a long time

dont know if i have just mellowed a bit as i got older but i am now INTP

Same.
when I first did it thought it would be one of those joke facebook results like you answer few easy question and they say you got a phd in Science.

[Arthur Crabtree]

i think we are probably in agreement at some level AC

the theory of the progression makes sense but it takes good management to make it work

identification of talent at county level has to be paramount but it takes the right people to be making those calls

how players of different personalities deal with the pressures of test cricket will never go away, its part of what makes people individuals, its how you manage that and realise that to get the best out of people requires a flexible approach that makes it work

thats why the people in those roles get paid the big bucks and it has all appeared a bit haphazard recently

for me the best move we have made on the management side in recent times was getting rid of saker and bringing back gibson as i think that has helped the seam bowlers

Good summary.

Me also. INFP. (The Mediator) Not done that before.

Says there are very few, thank goodness.

Good Entp scares me now.
not sure I would like to be Entp when I am older.
is it ok if I ask you what you do as a profession.
I am pretty scared at the moment what I am going to do in the future, don't really have much prospects at the moment.

[braveneutral]

So we are similar Arthur.

Apparently I am in a less than 1% group. Which scares me more.

I think it is good to understand how people work I suppose. What makes them tick etc.

Not easily replaced. I suppose you looked into this sort of stuff when you started at MI5.

[braveneutral]

I couldn't possibly say.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I can piece it together.

Good summary.

Good to see someone else wanted rid of Saker, I was banging on about him being a negative influence on our bowling for years but not once did I get any support on this forum.

INTJ

Would you hire me?

Perhaps you are all missing the reason for Dawson being added to the squad, surely it's to strengthen the batting not the slow bowling. They've recognised that it's the lower order that provide the runs so bringing in Dawson (with a 40 average) at 8,9 or 10 makes perfect sense. To our part time coach anyway.
