They should appoint a test team coach and an entirely separate one day team.

Yes!

Might have been nice to tell Moores before the media though - they were all tweeting about this yesterday

Expect something like " I wish Andrew Strauss all the very best... I look forward to working with him again.. " on KP's Twatter account

We are fast becoming the Newcastle of World Cricket, a complete PR and organisational disaster.

Which unfortunately is why he won't get the job. But KP back is a certainty IMO, which I suspect is what this is all about.

Stupid decision. The team isn't that good and needs an infusion of new talent which Moores was trying to encourage - except he was cut off before they had time to build a new set-up. The others are getting old - Anderson won't last for ever, and Broad is inconsistent so they need to start looking at a replacement opening bowling attack (not Finn), a proper spinner (Moheen Ali isn't good enough unless he has a helpful pitch), and still need another opening bat (assuming Cook retains his place) . Need more competition for places as too many are retaining their place on reputation rather than actual performance (Cook, Broad, Ali, Trott (as was), Jordan, Stokes, Bell).

Alec Stewart very critical this morning of way it was handled, but is supporting Strauss.

An assistant is going to manage the Tests against NZ! Surely the ECB have lined someone up already to take over before doing this?
