The Australians amassed a massive 303-run innings lead in blistering heat and then reduced the battle-weary tourists to 93 for four at the close with a day to play. Compounding England’s woes was a finger injury for skipper Joe Root, his team’s last major hope of staving off a 4-0 series rout today’s final day of the Test. Root was unbeaten on 42 at the close with Jonny Bairstow not out 17.

  • From Despair to Triumph: the Transformation of England Cricket
    From Despair to Triumph: The transformation of England Cricket Jim Chaplin AUGUST 2019 SRI CEO Jim Chaplin looks at the role played by Andrew Strauss and the team “behind the scenes” in laying the foundations for England’s World Cup win. n 9th March 2015, England were knocked out of the World Cup with a 15-run defeat by Bangladesh, having won just two of their Jim Chaplin Chief Executive Officer Osix group games. It was their third exit at the group stages in the past five tournaments. [email protected] Four years later, on a glorious July evening in London, Eoin Morgan lifted the World Cup trophy after, arguably, the most extraordinary game in the history of world cricket. We’ve witnessed a stunning transformation and much of the subsequent coverage and glory has quite rightly focused on the heroes on the pitch and the roles each of them played in the triumph. But what has been the impact of those behind the scenes in this formida- ble transformation? As a governing body in sport, blame for defeat often rests on your shoulders and victories attributed to the brilliance of those on the pitch. In the case of England Cricket, there are some notable and influential contributions beyond the playing squad. The architect of the victory was, in very many ways, Andrew Strauss. When Strauss took on the role of Director of Cricket in early 2015, he was not a candidate who would have met all the criteria of the job description. His administrative experience was non-existent, as were his governing body credentials.
