I’m not sure why people think that appointing Rob Key is so strange.As well as his commentating work, he was already involved in cricket administration.Seems a sensible, steady bloke. Just what’s needed at the moment, rather than a flash personality.

Just what’s needed at the moment, rather than a flash personality.After yet another post-Ashes review/post mortem we need an imaginative appointment as MD of the England cricket team; someone who will be involved in the appointment of the next coach and the next captain. The chance to lay down a marker to show what is expected in red ball cricket. But no they’ve gone safe and the chance of a shake up is lost, so here’s to the next post-Ashes review/post mortem which will be around 2025.They have missed an opportunity to shake things up and kick start English red ball cricket but no just another safe pair of hands will be topping up his pension.
I have a feeling that Buttler would make the best captain of the current crew, but he seems to have screwed the pooch with his recent batting performances. Having said that his Test average is 32.
Yeah it’ll be interesting, because I fear exactly that and he’ll try and take too much responsibility on himself. But in fairness he’s the best option.
