No, it was the England conkers team. He felt they had more potential.

Why do people fall for 'stories' like this?

Half-truth.

Wisden Cricketer article asking if Woodward's techniques would work in cricket. Still, I'm closer-qualified :P.

After the way the English won the Rugby, maybe it will be the only chance they have of getting the Ashes from the Aussies!!:P

Coaching cricket is totally different to coaching cricket, i'd like to see him try it.

Nope. It's exactly the same:P

I agree. As similar as the game of cricket is to the game of cricket, coaching the two is a much different challenge.

 

[Tim]

d'oh, I seem to do this quite often lol.

But you probably figured out that one of those 'crickets' was meant to be 'rugby'.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Yes, but I elected to highlight to you your error in a more unorthodox fashion.

Maybe they'll try n gang tackle our batsmen as he's running down the wicket.

No, Bob Willis only commentates. Maybe Dennis Lillee could coach that anyway

And Blackwell

And Blackwell

Maybe Blackwell would do best to concentrate on the rugby.

What... the conkers team had more potential than the cricketers at cricket?
Or at conkers?
Never knew there was an England conkers team... have to get my brother into that...

Same story in the papaer this weekend about the Football team.

It's been misreported from a WCM article.

The only other chance is if Peter Reid coaches the Australian cricket team...then the English are shoe in next time the Ashes are contested.

as i posted in the other forum kerry O'Keeffe said on the fat

if Clive woodward coached the english cricket team they would try and win test matches without taking any wickets



on the tackling thing - i would love to see any of them 1 vs 1 takle Hayden

What, by continually squandering great opportunities, and having to rely on a last minute extra time drop goal. England got lucky. They should had that game wrapped up in normal time without any doubt about the result!!!!

You mean like we won the World Cup without scoring tries?

Still bitter?
