Langar or Gillespie?.......Langar looks like he is going to get the job and I have no doubt its a player inspired choice as much as anything.
I agree with Ian Chappell and would prefer Gillespie who has had great success in England with Yorkshire and appears a more rounded individual and less inclined to play favorites and also has a world view on the game.
Langar IMO is more of the same as we got with Lehmann, will be popular with the players and will look after the main core group but wont be so keen to make major changes or look to new talent especially if its from outside WA and more specifically the Perth Scorchers..

It should be Gillespie by some margin, imho.
Langer is a little too close to the establishment and is getting favors at the selection table that make him look better than he really is! If Langer gets the job the Marsh boys will be welded into the team!
The warning signs are things like Langer gets key players released from national duty for local games, but his opposition coach/team don't get the same treatment even if their players sit around as extras on the big stage.
So I suspect it should be Gillespie, but will most likely be Langer.

Langer would be more of the same old same old, I think they will sense the winds of change and pick Gillespie, I really hope they do

Gillespie by a wide margin. Langer nowhere near it.
His "aw shucks" humility when he played was painful to watch. Fake.

Another international team done for ball tampering. Seems like they never learn. Now for The year long bans and appropriate action.
Time to pad up Sutherland....

Geez Prof - I really hope that it's the case, but don't think it will be.
The ICC penalties for ball tampering seem to be about 1 match. Our cricket admin gave the rest of the penalty, partly because of how badly it was all done and handled.
This also gave the opportunity to work out how we wanted to play cricket - what is and isn't acceptable behaviour. This will take some time to work out. I am not sure that other countries want to do this.

Ha, yeah I saw that......interesting the different reactions.
Aust - ball wasn't altered enough to be even changed by the umpires & all hell breaks loose, players accept full responsibility & cop their whack.
Sri Lanka - ball was altered enough so that it was changed by the umpires & Sri Lankans shut themselves up in the changerooms sooking & refuse to come out & play........
Bet you anything that nothing will happen to any of their players.
Life is pain....... anyone who says differently is selling something.

I want to see Sutherland grow a pair and issue a statement in the penalties are soft. I thought they ICC and cricket community were serious about stamping out this nonsense.

One inviolable right withdrawn from some but for others?
Let it pass. Cheap sub continent and manufactured achievements amount to nothing. I don't subscribe to playing with outright cheats

Because of our ridiculous knee jerk overrreaction we can't say anything, and we won't
