After three months of huffing and puffing, the ECB have given the role of Team Director to the man who was already in temporary charge. For all the nonsense of headhunting and shortlists, the appointment of Andy Flower does seem to be the right decision, at least on the face of it.
The reason Ian Bell was dropped by England was not because he is in poor form, or because he does not have a good enough technique. He is and he does.
