Justin Langer

I think Langer could be the man to take over Flower as head coach for England.

He's a tough character and he's a winner.

Just lead the Scorchers to winning the Big Bash.

Anyone think he should be talked about more and could do a good job?

Doesn't seem to get a mention for some reason.

Langer's a bit of an idiot I think.

You don't rate him as a coach?

I'd rather him than Giles.

I don't know about him as a coach tbh. He's probably ok.

Why can't you find someone from your own mob to coach you.

Must be time for someone like Vaughan to actually put a bit in rather than taking pot-shots from the comm box.

Surely they don't want an Aussie

Who'd be the English version of Boof?

Tufnell?

Moody has been talked about, so maybe they would?!

LOL Langer. Was awful as our batting coach IIRC.

I'd have Thorpe as the batting coach and Langer as the head coach.

I think the best options that I would suggest here are Kumble and Dravid,
the reason being that England have always had this methodical and orthodox approach towards the game, and both Dravid and Kumble are quite similar in that context, they study the game really well and always put more stress on long term growth. Kumble was just too good as a captain in whatever opportunities he got to lead the side. Dravid was also brilliant, but people don't rate him highly because of India's early exit in 2007 world cup. The way the team was improving under his leadership, he should have continued for a longer time as a captain. Both of them, with their vast experience, can be perfect for a struggling English side

Yes he certainly was, pretty sure every Aussie batsmen bar Clarke went backwards while he was there.

Wouldn't be adverse to an Aussie.......David Saker seems to have worked out OK, but Langer?? Thanks but no thanks.
