The ECB gets it wrong, wrong, wrong, wronger, and etc

Don’t get me wrong, KP is still a dick.

It was childish and stupid to say it’s me or him, and to do so while on safari makes it even dumberer.

Wanting the coach gone is one thing, but losing your job over it is another.

Peter Moores did not inspire me as a coach.

And he was never the right fit for KP as captain, but the ECB is a proud stoic group, they survived the war you know, and they were never going to react well to an ultimatum.

So KP is a dick, and Moores was a dud.

But what about the ECB, fucktards perhaps.

Lost a captain, a coach, and a fair bit of common sense.

I have looked in depth at their role in this, and this is what I have.

The ECB mistakes

Picking a captain that is not tactically aware.

Picking a captain who cannot work with the current coach.

Not listening to either captain that the coach was not upto the job.

Waiting until their hothead captain made a decision that would set back their cricket.

Allowing any of this to hit the media.

Looking to extend Moores contract, while also looking at other candidates.

For not informing Geoff Miller of any of this.

Teaming up a tactically unaware captain with a clipboard coach.

Giles Clarke.

Giving Michael Vaughan a contract with no intent of picking him in any test squad.

Allowing the oval to shut their bar for 90 minutes after lunch.

Picking two South African born captains in a row.

And most importantly at all, taking the moral high ground through all this, when most of it was their fault in the first place.
