The need to feed the beast of 24 hour television will require cricket, the recipient of a ridiculously irrational share of the news, to adapt. I feel the time has come to insulate the coach and give greater responsibility to the manager. And for the manager to lay down rules for the side. For that to happen, the manager has to be a constant factor, must have the respect of the side and should be able to think straight. It will not happen if the job is distributed and I hope the BCCI looks very carefully at what John Wright has said in his book.
Then the coach will have one job less to do!
