hope the players join him. Pathetic in all forms of the game not even put up a fight.

Apparently, Paul Downton, managing director of England Cricket, sacked him following our dismal tour of Australia. Cue more miserable shots of Flower. Has anyone ever seen him smile?

I think a fair few more should go after this debacle.
We are being thrashed by 2nd and 3rd choice squad players!

Expect lots of finger wagging at KP. And talk of a 'clear-out'....

I wonder if Robbo would be in the frame. That is a coaching exchange I'd like to happen!

You might sneer, but vulture has a point. Three weeks ago he was quoted as saying "either KP goes or I do". As if Flower was in any position to make such demands - or has he not noticed the most feeble tour of Australia EVER was on his watch?

Bring back Bumble as coach. At least we can have a laugh.

Wonder where this leaves Cook. He worked closely with Flower, as part of the Essex mafia and he's no member of the KP fan club either. Figjam could have two scalps here

Yeah and Peiterson would flip him off out of the picture like he did with Moores.

BBC quoting that he is " Leaving " his post. Did he jump or more likely was he pushed ?

I was being sarcastic, aren't you agreeing with me and disagreeing with vulture?

I think I'm agreeing with you both.

If he goes, then he has lost his argument with KP, primarily because as you point out, he is responsible for this utter shambles.
