The All Time XI For All Time: West Indies
Through electric bowling, dashing batting and acrobatic fielding the West Indies made themselves one of the most popular teams throughout history.
In every other professional sport, the Head Coach of the national team takes responsibility for his or her team’s performance – both on and off the field. So why do we persist in holding one of the Australian cricket players responsible?
It’s not a complex question, because the answer is simply – habit.
The Board is still thinking inside the square of old traditions, which die hard. It protects the selectors and the coach from media scrutiny; and will continue to try and get away with it for as long as it can.
In this modern era of mass media, it is a tremendous strain on a player to have to captain a side, play well, participate in TV commercials, conduct a private life, and be the media spokesperson for the sport.
It is in the public interest for the coach to become the spokesperson for every sport. Or in his or her absence, the manager should assume that mantle of media responsibility.
