Test Surely the Cummins/McDonald captain/coach setup is the worst in Australian Test history

Posted this in the match thread, but thought i'd post it here as well.

Trying again to ask the question of if McDonald ever does any actual technical coaching? Is he a team manager, a strategist? What does he do??????????

Khawaja out AGAIN playing his absolutely diabolically stupid "jump in the air" shot instead of a regulation forward or backward defence. Why is that I, as a coach who has coached only to U17 level, can see this - AND MCDONALD CAN'T!!???

Should have been in the nets post the WTC loss facing ball after ball trying to work on getting his feet and head steady and grounded.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO obvious.......

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrating........

It's kinda funny seeing you continually double down on a terrible take.

It's going to be brutal getting smoked in the Ashes by a whole heap of failed big bash imports this summer

So you obviously think he's out there helping our batters overcome their technical weaknesses then?

I think you made a thread that was laughable to start with, got shown to be wrong consistently, and instead of admitting it you're continuously doubling down because you're committed to this narrative. Speaking as someone who saw him whilst he was coaching Victoria, yes I do, but I suspect someone who turns 39 in December probably won't change their technique that much. But sure, talk to your coaching record instead.

McDonald would do everything except the technical stuff. They have specialist coaches for that, and many have their own personal coaches, too (like Warne always going back to Terry Jenner, for instance).

Time for these coaches to start earning their pay then!!!

Some trolls are funny because you can’t help but laugh with them…others you tend to laugh at

Just for some context here, Cummins winning percentage as captain is 60%.

In the history of test cricket, among captains who’ve captained 25 or more test matches, Cummins has the third highest winning %, of all time.
