I'd rather have James Franklin as Yorkshire Head Coach than Andrew Gale tbh
A backhanded compliment if there ever was one.

Even cash strapped franchisees of Bangladesh Premiere league and Pakistan Super League have better coaches. In fact even the T10 franchisee tournament in UAE had renowned coaches.
A bit harsh to condemn Franklin without trial surely, Meninblue. He's an experienced International Cricketer in tests and ODIs, extensive 1st class experience and captained a team to a county championship. He hasn't held any coaching posts previously but had he done so, and been available, it would probably be because he'd been sacked from such a post. He's always appeared to be knowledgeable and articulate when interviewed.
