Brendan McCullum has been sacked. I still feel a bit lost uh as to what's happened with uh Ben Stokes Brendan McCullum relationship because they were great mates.
It's just hard to quantify exactly what the plan is. It it kind of just doesn't feel as though there's a plan. I have no idea.
Who you could give the Captain C to. I don't. Are there any names on your lips that you're that you're thinking? I think Andy Flower's the best coach in the world. That I met you remember that sort of when Man Man United were going through it was like, give it gigsy to end at season Give it Stokesy till end it's season to get it.
Give it broadly to the give it broadly to the end of the season, I reckon.
Give it me till the end of the ashes. Just do it. Just g just be a wind up merchant throughout. No tactics. Hi, I'm Shuk Broad. He's Stephen Finn, and this is For the Love of Cricket. Finney, I was desperate to talk to you about Jose Bootley. Yeah, it's 131 against India at Southampton. What a not, by the way. Uh, but we will have to do that later because there's been a big bit of news this afternoon. The Sunday afternoon, Brendan McCullum has been sacked as England's test match coach, or will stay on as a white ball coach. Uh a
Why was Brendan McCullum’s dismissal timed during the historic women’s Test at Lord’s?
Lot to talk about here, but Sunday afternoon, where were you and when did you find out?
Well, I was at Lord, so similar to the Stokes announcement we got v about an hour's notice this time about that it was happening at two o'clock. And it was embargoed till then.
And then much like a bit naughty it got released before that, by the way, though 'cause an embargo means that it shouldn't be released before that.
Well that was an Australian um Australian radio station, wasn't it? I think it might even have been um S E N who you work for in the in the winter who uh who leaked that one. So maybe you're you're the common denominator, but it was um It w yeah, it was just it's just crazy. I just you just pray for a quiet week in English cricket and we're and we're not getting it at the moment. Um and on the back of I think the most curious thing about it, and I don't know what you think about this, is the timing, like halfway through the women's test match.
I think it's ridiculous, if I'm honest. I think it's uh what's what right word, like not disrespectful, but but you have a historic first ever women's test match at Lords. You have legends of the game of Tammy Beaumont had a knight walking away from the international scene after gosh, what, seventeen years service for for English cricket, deserves the journalists and and the fans to soak in everything that that that whole week for the for the women um is about and for the for the two women walking away from the game. And then to go to Lords Richard Gord, the CEO, to go to Lords and get all the journalists together and interview about sacking Brendan McCullum. I don't get the timing of it at all. Like w th yes England are gonna lose this test match.
It might be tomorrow at lunch. So why not just do it tomorrow night? Or Tuesday morning. They might not want to do it on a day of a game. I get that. But it it feels very odd timing. Yeah. And I was very uh not not flat with the time, but it just feels like has anyone even thought about this? Has anyone actually sat in a room and gone, not sure that's great timing, lads?
Yeah, there was a lot of anger actually in the press box, especially from um from like former England players, England women's players, just saying, Why exactly that? Why now? Why would you choose to do it at two o'clock just before Tammy Bowman walks out to have her last ever innings for England? And then the same with Heather Knight.
