Whateley · Nick Hoult - Bazball era comes to a close | Cricket journalist and Author · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

So that's a departure for England.

They're used to having total control over their coaches.

So, yeah, there's quite a lot up in the air.

It certainly wasn't an unpopular decision.

I think once Stokes was gone, I think, I mean, you know, a lot of people, me included, would say that they should have done this after Australia.

That was the right decision at the time.

For some reason, they wanted to keep going.

They rolled the dice again.

but of course they were just under so much pressure that any slight slip up and it was all going to be uh it was all they're all going to come under scrutiny again um i think the manner of the defeat in nottingham uh trent bridge where they sort of threw away a test match it was they were very much outsiders really to ever chase down such a big total in the fourth innings but they never really gave themselves a chance you know it was a kind of

the last gasps of, of Baz ball.

And I think, um, I think then it felt right.

This has to change now.

Well, I think the last sort of six months, the last eight months have been a message I've known, really.

And, you know, that includes the kind of Peterson flower stuff that went on a decade ago after a similar defeat in Australia.

It felt this time that it was after the sort of Stokes story, the recent Stokes story, the Rex Rooms in Chelsea, there was a few days there where it felt as if it was out of control, really.

You didn't really know what was going to happen next, who was going to be sacked next or who was going to resign or retire.

So, yeah, it's been as messy as it could be, really.

And it's just a continuation, really, of the end of Australia and the Harry Brooks story coming out.

discipline being a problem and not being addressed.

I think, again, I'll just go back to why did they drag it out for another six months?
