I reckon that's who they officially were But he was never gonna do it.
We don't know.
I don't I don't think they did.
I think they wanted flour.
And I think flour
couldn't do carry on doing the IPL and his other jobs and do the England job properly.
So he he obviously ruled himself out.
So I think if you asked Rob Key who was his first choice, I think it would have been Andy Flower.
Well I said at the time as soon as they announced that McCullum was the one day coach, actually that is the hardest thing.
That the person must be able a strong enough personality to be able to handle McCullum.
Um because what happens with the split coaches, one side, the test side, or the red ball side or the white ball side, one of them does better than the other.
So therefore the side likes playing for the more s the players like playing for the more successful side, therefore likes that coach a little bit.
more happened with Mott and McCullum, even though Mott won the T twenty World Cup, actually the test side started at the starters of McCullum and Stokes era, started this you know, momentum and everyone loved playing under baths and it put Mott under pressure.
So that relationship was key.
So you c you can understand why Rob Key made Fleming
Coach, because that professional and the per professional and a personal relationship was already there as Fleming and McCullum are already A played together but also in business together as well, which is I think a really important thing when you're when you're not just friends but in a business together where you actually have to make some really tough decisions I assume uh on certain things.
So so that relationship there.
So I can see why Fleming and McCullum should work.
I I think they I think uh as always
It's going to be very, very hard to manage perfectly because there's too many, it's such a hard thing to get right.
