Temporarily for Pope I hope.I mean really, coaching has come on so much in
The digital age ,but it seems to have over ridden a players instinct. Batters and bowlers.surrey had Vikram Solanki playing 2nd team cricket as a coach. And they've let him go.If you've played a good standard of cricket,(and 8n my case had little coaching),You learn so much from your more experienced, older colleagues. In my case I'm talking Keith Rudd,Clive Adams,Stewart Bunting. Tbh I even asked Robin Huggins what facade meant !
