England should march Brendon McCullum to the exit door immediately - while he takes us for fools with his happy-clappy positivity, immunity to criticism and hubris beyond belief, he should be apologis
The lazy nonchalance of those dismal few words encapsulates the entire dodgy mantra that he’s infected our game with. The notion that precision and preparation and intellectual curiosity and graft – Australian cricket qualities – are not for the cool guys. That the foundations on which our national cricket team were built are dull and outdated. Who’s to say that a little application from either might not have made up the 82-run margin by which England lost? An apology to the English public for a near-unprecedented form of capitulation would have been appropriate from McCullum.
