The breakdown in the relationship between England captain Kevin Pietersen and the coach Peter Moores has stirred up plenty of debate. If they have to decide between the two then it is a no-brainer and KP wins every time. People may say the captain should not be able dictate who the coach is. That is a fair point but if the coach were up to the required standard that would not happen anyway.
The episode has highlighted the fact Moores should never have been appointed in the first place. If this job for the boy’s appointment had occurred in football, there would be a national outcry. The fact nobody else was interviewed after the departure of Duncan Fletcher was an absolute disgrace. At the time we were told they wanted an Englishman and to promote from within but, things have not worked out.
We keep hearing about Hugh Morris and his diplomatic skills but if he and others at the ECB were looking after the best interests of the England cricket team rather than their good friend Moores we would not have this fiasco. Fletcher should have been replaced with an experienced coach instead of someone who the ECB hoped would do a good job.
Moores is a manufactured coach who has been fast tracked to the position he now occupies. He has been England coach for nearly two years and in that time we have gone backwards. There is no point trying to repair the relationship between the two men and a change needs to be made now. If the coach is replaced, he will depart with a six figure compensation package which is not bad going in the current economic climate.
The next coach will be a crucial appointment and the ECB needs to make sure it is a good one. We need a top class coach and nationality should not be an issue. It has been said that candidates are in short supply but they will come up with an impressive shortlist if they put their minds into it.
