The squad consists of the usual all round plodders who cant bat or bowl but considered good enough to be "all rounders"

Good to see Boof taking a well earned rest after a "tiring" tour of Bangladesh. Big Sports Breakfast reported this morning that David Saker will be acting head coach for this ODI and T20 series.

Fat lazy f**k, he's only just returned from a 5 month holiday.

He's a protected species.

Really?

I reckon it just goes to show we don't give a f**k about this series and the BCCI's coffers tbh.
I'd like to have a rest after coming back from a 5 day holiday let alone 5 months. The captains not resting is he??? So why should Boof??? It's his f**king job.

Agree 100%

The team hadn't played any Cricket in months before the Bangladesh series and yet old mate needs some leave?

Surely he could have taken a holiday at some stage during the 5ish months of no Cricket!

I legitimately don't understand what he's resting from. He's been watching test cricket from an air conditioned room whilst staying in five-star hotels.

His job is more luxurious than most people's f**king holidays.

Can't have it both ways, though. It can't be a meaningless series about which we don't give a f**k, AND a must to have the head coach there...personally I couldn't care less.

What does Boof even do anyway? What does any cricketing head coach even do? You've got coaches for batting, and bowling, and fielding. The captain has final say over strategy and even team selection to a point. The head coach is a glorified motivational speaker and assistant to the captain these days....storm in a teacup over an irrelevant series.

I couldn't give a f**k about the series either but it's got the point, the bloke has just come had 5 months off. It's laughable, it's his job if it's too tough for him give it to someone else.

Boofhead is so busy improving quality test cricketers like Maxwell, Wade, the Marshmallow bros etc that the poor dear needs a break.

I read an interview about his break, said it was to get his mind fresh for the Ashes series
