Is Peter Moores the right man for the England Job

[hopeforthebest]

From the Mail:

" England will be 24/7 for Peter Moores ... not just a job, but a passion "

If that's true then he's definitely the wrong man for the job as in my experience such people expect others to see it the same and are less than understanding of those who don't.

Don't know about that? Some may, but a man with a half open mind, will see the differences.

With that attitude it seems he's the same man that sent his squad back out onto the field for extra training at the end of a ODI v NZ. He already has a reputation of talking as if he's giving a presentation at a corporate seminar that has been ridiculed by many in the media but must have impressed Downton who's just fresh from an executive job in the city.

Here's a quote from another arrogant individual:

"Peter Moores can impose himself on a young, ambitious England squad, writes BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew

Impose himself is not the way to build a team.

It is amazing, the conclusions that may be drawn from little snippets of others' words (often misreported and taken out of context) in the media.

Interesting that Farbrace has joined as "assistant coach", whatever that means. I do like the idea that a guy who has won more One Day Competitions in two months in charge of Sri Lanka than anyone in England should be brought in as an assistant.

the way that Farbrace has left sri lanka is disgusting, and has left the sri lankan side in a bit of a mess going into a tough tour of england and ireland..

I had read somewhere that he had not been paid is full wages, and that he was only on a 6 month probabtionary contract, and SL did the same thing to Yorkshire when they got him. So SL cant be to angry

Was a big blow to lose Farby, but at the same time a man of his calibre was never going to be a County 2nd XI coach for long.

Sri Lanka were not required to pay a severance deal to Yorkshire based on their own agreement with the county. Instead, Sri Lanka arranged and hosted Yorkshire on their Sri Lankan pre-season tour, footing all the financial impact of the tour and arrangements under the severance agreement.

So yes, they spent a hell of a lot of money putting up Yorkshire's Tour in order to get him, and by all accounts people in their board are furious they spent a large amount of their budget getting him in for nothing.

Indeed. Especially when those people making the articles are fueled by bias against the old regime, and are trying to paint Moores as a successful appointment.

The bottom line is we have Moores now, we dont have KP, and its time to move and and rate Moores on his performance this summer. Of course, if he fails then questions will be asked and have to be answered

It's my experience that a man who could not do a job first time around cannot do the same job second time around -------- we shall see.

and the ECB have foot Yorkshire's pre-season bill as part of the compensation package.

Cook sacks Gooch as batting coach, I hope Saker goes next but he has only recently got a new contract.

[D/L]

Can the captain sack a member of the coaching staff?

[Gingerfinch]

Seems odd for the easy going Cook to make that decision.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Can't understand why that is his decision to make. Surely someone thinks it would help if it was made to look that way.

Maybe a case of 'don't shoot the messenger'.

[Arthur Crabtree]

The statement from Gooch looks purely resigned to make Cook look like a tough cookie. Maybe Gooch has just had enough, and he's doing one last favour for his mate.

[Gingerfinch]

Thorpe to replace Gooch?

Thorpe to replace Gooch?

Hasn't he already been working with the OD batting?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Seems to be some doubt that Thorpe will want to be on the road so much.
