Gilchrist has always seemed to me to be one of the good guys of Australian cricket, so might be a very good choice.... if he's interested in the job, of course

Not sure what, if any, experience he has of coaching, but perhaps CA just need a respected figure on the front page, even if others are doing the real work behind the scenes.

I may be completely deluded about his respectability, of course, but I hope not.

Which proves that pointless speculation in the press can generate a long thread of zero real content.

seemingly a judge-led enquiry found that bail tampering was just a little bit impish, whereas ball tampering was disgusting. Bail tampering was just a bit of banter, whereas ball tampering threatened the very fabric of the Australian psyche. The enquiry asked 4 people on facebook who thought they were answering questions on their preferred retail options, and produced a 20 word report in support of their findings.
