Not that I care but the timing seems odd to me - thought they were going to sack him a while ago but then they held their nerve and results improved? I didn't think things had suddenly got that bad again that he was going to get the tin tack.
Sad that Burrell is injured but glad that Kolli grabbed his opportunity, and most likely will be able to show what he can do with a start at West Ham on Sunday. Always very composed in front of goal.
Nothing to do with the fact that Hull had 7 first teamers out injured. The rumour is overnight they put sprinklers on the dug out to ice it over. Not sure how true that is. Watford didn’t agree to the postponement, which they’ve made clear in social media posts. Def something fishy going on if they could clear the pitch but couldn’t find a kettle to melt the thin layer of ice around the dugout
Appreciate McCullum trying a different approach, and when it worked it was exciting to watch. But cricket presents you with lots of different situations and you have to sometimes temper your aggression and play more pragmatically. But arrogantly or otherwise he would only ever stick with one approach, and especially playing overseas you will come unstuck if you don't consider implementing different plans.
Re Madsen I think he was struggling to adapt to a new country and a new league - and Cifuentes didn't have the bandwidth (or couldn't be bothered) to deal with him while trying to get a competitive team out of the squad he was left to deal with.
Was absolutely packed in the away end last season, will be interesting to see if we take similar numbers this time round.
But yeah unless you get there really early don't expect to be in the "seats" that are on your ticket, and most likely you'll be standing the whole game too.
Aside from Root or maybe Stokes, none of them can apply themselves with the bat. Oh for a Cook/Trott/Collingwood to dig in and make the bowlers earn their wickets.
Once again we've prepared miserably for an Australia tour. McCullum and co just seem to have gone out of their way to ignore any previous experience of playing there. "We know better".
I hope he and Key go after this, but the ECB will be making the decisions and like most England sporting organisations they can't be trusted to do the right thing either.
