Coach Grumpy

Playing Finch in what.T20 or Test?

Tests. Was horrendous

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Ian Chappell has taken a sensational swipe at past players defending Justin Langer, calling them the former Australia coach’s “PR machine” while defending Test captain Pat Cummins.

Tests. Was horrendous

Agree,worth his place in the T20 side though.

Brett Lee has been very measured too.

100% at his peak was simply brutal in t20, but in tests I still have nightmares.

‘We owe him a lot’: Pat Cummins finally breaks silence on Justin Langer’s resignation

Australian Test captain Pat Cummins has broken his silence following the highly-publicised resignation of Justin Langer, thanking the coach for his service to the national men’s cricket team.

Excellent statement from Cummins, last line is telling.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Good statement now we can all move on

 

[Blue1980]

Only?

They were our 2 best batsmen.

Significantly weakened but I believe someone claimed we were reduced to our 3rd XI

 

[Jamurp]

I can just imagine that flog Matty Hayden reading that last line, brilliant stuff. Great statement overall by Cummo.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Interview on Fox Sports with Cummins now is difficult to watch

Not sure if it's live

 

[GoDees2021]

Yet it’s still better than playing Finch

Yeah so other than not playing Finch you have nothing else to back up your weird claims that he should have been sacked.

 

[Blue1980]

27 tests: 15 wins, 7 losses, 5 draws.

Caveat only 7 overseas

 

[Blue1980]

Yeah he only coached 2 away series and one of them was neutral Pakistan in the UAE.

More of a reflection on CA and the ICC that Australia have only had 2 away test tours in 4 years.

Covid didn't help but how many test tours got cancelled in that time just 2 from memory South Africa and Bangladesh.

So basically only 4 test tours abroad were scheduled in last 4 year cycle.

Just cancel playing anyone away who isn’t england or India was the plan, covid was a convenient excuse.

That would have flown about 40,000 feet over Haydos head unfortunately

 

[Belnakor]

well its his team now.

CA might have thought they were putting in a board puppet like Paine. I think they are now being disabused of that.

lol yeah after helping to knife the coach in the back a written statement with the help of 15 writers makes everything ok.

 

[FreoRicci]

So from that, coaches better treat the players like soft cuddly bears instead of intensity, as they don’t want to be pushed too hard to win. It’s players vs whoever gets hired. Yeah good luck

 

[HirdsTheWord]

lol.

Cummins is 100% full of shit.

"Skills based Coach"

hahaha

 

[GoDees2021]

So from that, coaches better treat the players like soft cuddly bears instead of intensity, as they don’t want to be pushed too hard to win. It’s players vs whoever gets hired. Yeah good luck

Only positive messages and just let them **** up with no accountability is what I gathered. Like when they mentally imploded against Stokes in england better not tell them off for that.

i think the point is he making is that they need a coach who is going to teach them something and refine their games.

The time of a fire and brim stone coach is from AFL in the 90s.

There is literally a line coach for every skill, whos job it is to coach and refine that certain skill whether is batting bowling or fielding.

That is not the head coach's job.

It is a bullshit excuse.

Agree, and while Haydos was critical of PC emotionally defending his great mate JL, I think you'll find PC's swipe was more directed at Bitch Johnson and the like...

 

[JackOutback]

That's not a positive. Khawaja was right, the days of captains being solely in charge of the team is no longer viable. The idea that Cummins is best placed to assess his own strengths and weaknesses is flawed, the idea that he could do the same for other players is absurd. Yes, they each have their own coaches but someone needs to have a look at the bigger picture.

The perception remains that the players pushed Langer out, that the next coach will be more of a yes-man to the players; the last time we let the inmates run the asylum, someone thought it was a good idea to take sandpaper out on to the field.
