Winning a home Ashes series is a big deal for nationalistic, chest thumping purposes but it's not the huge cricket achievement it once was.

In the last 40 years England have won just 2 series here. In that time, they've won just 9 tests out of a possible 55 on our shores.

England's ineptitude isn't Langer's fault but winning a home series against them really isn't that big an achievement at the moment. It's simply a case of job done and taking care of business.

Nonetheless, they won.

with all do respect to Cummins he comes off as a bit of a twat here. Hiding behind a process is a joke and frankly a bit whimpy.

Whilst its not his job to decide it, he clearly has enough of a say in it to matter and he should be smart enough to know that by not publicly endorsing him, he is not endorsing him.

CA are also being a pack of dickheads by drawing it out and thus letting Cummins take the heat for it. Make a call one way or another.

This is just stupid politicism.

These same “results” that were got belted by India at home correct
And after that, he was asked to change how he did things.

He did what they asked, and have since won a World Cup and was one wicket away from a series whitewash.

Surely that's a positive?
 
Coaching is dependent on the cattle you have

Give him a year extension. Let’s evaluate after the sub continent. He has to WIN tests there otherwise it’s a waste of time

Who is doing better though?

Don’t know but honestly it’s a waste of time if he can’t win overseas. Most coaches should be winning at home
 
Performances in Bangladesh and West Indies would suggest not much will improve. Clearly there's no real plan to combat spin.

You mean the tours where the same senior players so deeply concerned about team culture decided to sit out and/or chase IPL coin instead?

Well they happen to be our best players, it's like every sport your best players get the coach they want.

Yeah, Sandpaper-gate (and the broad strokes player meltdown throughout that entire tour) was an excellent reflection on their leadership nous in times of crisis.

He’s one of the selectors at the end of the day, he isn’t the only one but he’s responsible there especially overseas. At home you can get away with some howlers overseas you can’t.

As I have said give him another year but that’s it

You place too much importance on the influence of the coach

John Buchanan is statistically probably tbe best coach Australia has ever had and all that in the face of some of the best players in tbe team hating his guts.

The talent of the players wins you matches not coaches

He should've left after drawing the Ashes in England against one of the worst English sides in history.
This! What about that gutless declaration this ashes in Sydney? had BNG written all over it! More interested in not getting a loss against his record than going for the clean sweep! Him coupled with Sydney’s crap weather and Scott Morrison have ruined any respect this country was clawing back since being exposed as a bunch of w***ers at sandpaper gate with our captain crying over spilled milk he never even knew about!

A happy group is more likely to succeed. It’s up to the players and it’s why I’ve said CA can decide and there’s no rush
 
Cummins was part of the team in South Africa. Maybe Langer kicked his arse for some reason.
The point is, if Cummins is behind the stoush now, be a man and come forward. Don't hide behind CA. Show some balls.
Easier said than done , let’s be honest
 
When I was about 16 (30odd years ago)I went to Meulemans cricket to buy a new bat and there was Damian Martin and JL so I got them to help me pick a bat , JL took charge and faced up to about ten Kookaburra bubbles before handing me his choice so I bought that one , I never liked it much , felt a bit thick in the handle and blocky and then it got stolen. Sack the mug! 🤣
 
Sounds like Cummins is more the problem...we could do without him!

Yeah no we can’t lol. A mile better than any bowler we have. Easier to sack the coach who does nothing really
