There is no Chairman if Selectors. Miller simply carries the title "National Selector", who's job it is to run the selection panel. He is the only full time selector, originally Giles was appointed as part-time back up along with Whitaker.... neither were dedicated full time, and until 2009 or 2010 I dont think Miller was full time either.
Moores was never involved, but then he was also never Team Director. Andy Flower was the first and only team director of English cricket, a role inside which he manages the whole of the cricketing output of the side, for which he answers to Hugh Morris alone, the Managing Director of English cricket.....
Hugh Morris makes the plans of Flower reality by dealing with the ECB Board to make sure that resources are adequate, and he been instrumental in a lot of the increase support of the national team and the increase of the backroom staff.
Lets make no bones though, as Team Director Flower has ultimate power to decide who plays and what happens with Team England. He oversees all the coaches, players, selectors, etc
