I mean, it's great to see England getting back on track with Troy Cooley at the helm . 20 years have passed since he last worked with the team and he's still got that experience under his belt . I'm not sure what more can be done when it comes to coaching, but maybe having someone like Neil Killeen working underneath him will help bridge the gap . It's just a shame they didn't get some of the younger talent involved in the backroom staff, you feel? Still, I'm optimistic about this move and hoping it'll bring some improvement to the team
Just saw this news and I gotta say, I'm a bit skeptical about rehiring Troy Cooley . I mean, 20 years is a long time, and it's great that he's got experience working with Cricket Australia and India's national academy, but is it really necessary to bring him back in? He's gonna have to help the guys figure out why they're dropping so many catches ...it feels like a lot of money for not a whole lotta progress . I'm all for trying new things and experimenting with different coaching styles, but let's see if it really pays off before we get too excited .
omg i cant believe england just re-hired cooley again he left 20 yrs ago and didnt even help them win the ashes like whats wrong with these ppl? can't they see that hiring more coaches isnt gonna solve anything? and now they're saying it's not linked to the aussie defeat lol yeah right, who do they think is gonna make a difference? at least he's got some experience from his previous stint, i guess that's better than nothing...
Dude, I don't know if this is such a good idea... I mean, Troy Cooley was out of England 20 years ago and he's only back now? What changed? Was it just the Ashes series that made them realize they needed him again?
And what's up with all these coaches? Like, Brendon McCullum is the head coach now, but there's already a new fast-bowling coach on top of Cooley and another one for the Young Lions... it just feels like too much, you know? I'm not saying they don't need more help, but it's just so... overkill.
And don't even get me started on the dropped catches during the Ashes series... maybe instead of bringing back someone from 20 years ago, they should be looking at some younger talent?
So, England is going back on their commitment to stability by rehiring Troy Cooley after 20 years? I mean, it's not like they're trying to recreate the magic or anything . On a serious note, 60-year-old Cooley might have some valuable experience from his previous stint, but it's crazy that he's getting brought back in just because of a few dropped catches . England really needs to focus on developing their young bowlers instead of bringing back old coaches who aren't exactly known for being progressive .
I'm loving this move by England! Troy Cooley coming in as their pace-bowling lead is like a breath of fresh air after that rough Ashes series. I mean, 4-1 is no joke, but bringing back an expert like Cooley shows they're serious about getting it right. He's got the experience and knowledge from his last stint with England back in 2005-06 to help develop those fast bowlers. And let's be real, having a proper coaching structure is key to success - it's not just about having talented players, you need the brains behind them too . I'm curious to see how Cooley and Brendon McCullum work together to turn things around for England. Fingers crossed!
