Still no knighthood.

A misjudgement. Sure, there are plenty of people who think only of Flower that he did a great job, got England to number one, and a more extreme element who think he did well to force out KP. But there are still a good number who stopped supporting England and buying tickets and cancelled their Sky Sports over the affair. Even if the ECB think it's time these did their duty again and the machinations of the ECB are none of their business, they must know that disengagement is still out there.
