An Aussie Coach Would Work Best For The England Team

Every time there is a vacancy in a team for the position of captain or coach a list of top contenders for the spot is formulated. Such lists are usually formed after combining the speculations of those informed and throwing in some guesswork.

The post for coach of England team is up for grabs and the informed speculations suggest that the post would be best taken up by an Aussie. There are many Australian contenders for the job including the passionate Geoffrey Boycott and Shane Warne.

Having a couch from outside their circuit will benefit England in many ways. The foreign coach will be able to take an objective view of the side and then suggest ideas accordingly. The English have their own way of playing which the new foreign coach will need to understand. Another Aussie name suggested for the post is Darren Lehman.

The player has earned widespread respect with his performances with Yorkshire. The retired Aussie player has moved into the domain of coaching in recent years. Lehman seems to be one of the top contenders for the post known for his ability to drive confidence in his team.

The England team’s setup is in total disarray at the moment. The situation has not only gone from bad to worse but it has also been made public. There are many differences that need sorting out behind closed doors. The team also needs to set the balance between the coach and captain right.

Moores lacked the support of some of the key players of the team as coach. It was a rather unwise decision to have KP replaced by Moores which cost the England in more ways than one. The problem with KP was that he could not accept the fact that he was not in control. In his egoistic efforts he wanted to run the show in the field as well, which is of course the captain’s job and not the coach’s.

Strauss has been nominated to lead the England side. Although he appears to be more of a Vice Captain the man is surely a safe bet for the post. He is a loyal and solid character and has the full support of the board. Strauss and the new coach have around six months to shape up for the ashes as they face the World Champions in the most revered cricket tournament after the World Cup.
