England will begin the hunt for a new coach at the end of the West Indies tour and Mike Atherton feels assistant coach Andy Flower would be the ideal man in charge. He writes in the Times:
There have been signs in the Caribbean that Flower's no-nonsense approach to cricket is beginning to hold sway, which will pay dividends in the medium term. The sense of cosiness that pervaded the team in the years since the Ashes win of 2005 is gradually being stripped away ... He is incredibly loyal and discreet, knows cricket inside out, having been a player of the highest class, and, having travelled around the world, he knows intimately the various playing conditions.
