My views on England and how to change them
It crap that we did that against the Aussies but lets fact it they are the BEST team in sport IMO.
The English game need a crackdown as not good at top level as we thought it would be.
Suggestions
1) Scrap Central Contracts but have 6 regional teams in place so they can play against each other therefore the system will be better, with a feeder system from the County game
The Likes s of Caddick, Vaughan, Butcher could play this week in week out and it could be a Better test for them
Squad could be on the same lines as the states and are then only allowed to play regional cricket , this will devalue the Counties but do you want a Great england team
2) County Championship down to"Semi-pro" status and more youth orientated. Have less matches but have more Local matches so the crowd will get better, Counties will basically be Club Cricket based players
3) Keep the Natwest trophy and style it like crickets FA Cup add University sides to it and also have the best players playing in it therefore it is now the major competition and will be crickets fa cup
4) Get rid of the old fart, it may sound Ageist but a lot are Destorying the game even at Club/Village level. Coaches are not with the times in England like they used to and have a lot of ideas which would suit the 60s and they dont have faith in Leg-spinners
5) Give Terry Jenner more Money to coach leg-spinners and tell the coaches to understand them and Encourage them to the max!
they are brilliant leggies in the system but are not used or given the chance to shine, Warne consided 10 off 1 over in the test but Waugh had faith and left him on it would not happen over here we are too defensive in the county for too many years
6) Keep the Acadamy as it will work with more chance but have England A in the Summer and play against other Touring Counties i dont underatnd why we did not have that.
7) Bring in Techinal coaches to sort out the players, for test level only as some players are simply out of there depth at test level afzaal and that sort.
English Cricket needs more of a revamp and go along the same lines as the aussie version. There is a need for a leg-spinner for england people like Marc are living in the past,
Marc what is your email address so that i can email you about leg spin?
Becasue of England A, County Cricket will suffer but i think it will be a good thing (More youngsters) and the county system will start working and it will begin to harvest some players will remain in the county system but will be part-time the present county system is too cosy and needs fixing
Old Coaches are the problem they are only there becasue of "Jobs for the Boys" a Few counties they is what is in Practice
I going to write this is better form so if you are interested then email me at chrishinton19@yahoo.co.uk
