Michael Vaughan

I think if he's reasonable and not stubborn to understand that it's a learning process, you know, he's relatively quite a young coach.

He hasn't really coached for many, many years.

So,

if he's willing to accept that he needs to change the way that he approaches the game, you look at some of the details about this England side, you know, the preparation's been poor, we'll keep going on about that, but it's been poor, just fielding drills in the morning, I watch Australian, poor, they're a professional outfit, I see Alex Carey down there every morning, just doing those little drills, little drills, I used to see, you know, Matt Pryor do those drills, I saw Alex Stewart for many years do those drills, I don't see Jamie Smith doing those drills, I see Australia taking a load of high balls, every player, load of high balls, I don't see that from the England team, so,

And the detail needs to come in for Bas McCollum to stay.

And if he's willing to create that detail and accept that he's made mistakes and change the process in terms of the way that the team play, I have no problem with the combination carrying on.

But if it's going to be, oh, no, we're going to carry on.

We're going to be a bit flimsy.

And, you know, we're going to be running towards the danger on a regular basis because no one's mentioned white ball cricket yet.

You know, white ball cricket in 2025, we went backwards.

They've got a World Cup, a T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka.

That's going to be big.

Because a lot of the data-driven coaches now in whiteboard cricket, the Andy Flowers, the Tom Moody's, they're winning.

Because they go through every attention to detail, they look at it, they go again and go, what else?

Because they want to have that 1% edge on any opposing team.

I want to see England with a little bit more of that detail.

People might be listening to this and saying, hold on, he's going to continue, even though his methods have kind of been shown to fail here.

Do you see it as likely that he will continue?

And would it be the right decision?

Well, I can only allude, say football.
