I think one reason that Rob Key said that he's unsure of what needs to be done for the game globally may be that, particularly while he is working for the ECB, it's not for him to tell other countries what they should be doing. I suspect that he has some ideas but knows he doesn't have the power to implement them and doesn't want to offend other boards by appearing to preach to them how they should act.
I'm only a few minutes into the interview but it's clear that the current trend of England players and others associated with the team deflecting praise and attention from themselves and onto others and the team as a whole well and truly extends to Rob Key too.
Ha, wait till you see the first second after the interview ends with the two blokes arguing whose idea it was to get MB to speak to RK. I know they were only joking, but your point is valid and I think we can all be better at deflecting praise. Especially when you watch the true elite doing it!
I love how odd it is that a man who scored a Test double century, had a distinguished career in county cricket and was a respected pundit, their greatest legacy could well be as an administrator
Great interview really enjoyed it although worth pointing out the challenge facing English cricket... "We definitely need the hundred it is great" vs "there is too much t20 cricket" you can't really have both views.
To my mind Warnie was the first to articulate that he was an entertainer but he never sacrificed the imperative of winning on the alter of entertainment. He was one player with the extraordinary ability to marry the two. My observation with the English, is they are so married to entertainment, that loosing is no shame when we can accept we entertained people and tomorrow is another day. It's one thing to celebrate five runs an over, it's altogether an animal of a different stripe to win test matches. Be very careful of becoming intoxicated with the propaganda of bazzball. Let's just keep our powder dry till England are 4 for 30 and see how well bazzball stands up then. This test match was totally controlled and set up by Uzzi Khawaja. Pure genius. Nothing England did, altered the pace and situation of the game. This was test cricket 101 according to Uzzi.🇭🇲 My suggestion to England is to keep playing golf in preparation for a test match. Australia will probably continue to jeopardize their chances by winning the world cup of test cricket and selecting players with a preexisting medical condition. What degree of arrogance is required to think England would kick the arses of Australia by picking a front line spin bowler with an injured finger. The Pomms will get rolled in every test unless the weather saves them.
Will this current trend of Bazball wins or whatever in test cricket for pomps continue ? I don’t think so. Put them against Australia in Australia, similar case with India , we will know the reality. But on a hindsight it’s going to be a riveting Ashes this time to watch atleast.
@@Damudean You are exactly right. If Bazball has improved the team significantly then you can't just throw it out because you don't win every single test series.
Trouble is losing at home v Oz then away in India (absolute certainty) would mean we haven’t become a top Test team after all and there will be nowhere to turn. Truly.
Someone needs to tell Butcher less is more.. just ask 1 question at a time and the interview could be 30 mins and Rob could give the same information..
Well, all you bazzballers might consider giving the spectators what they pay good money to come and see. Please start this series by firstly commiting to completing the required number of overs each day. You say your entertainers. Well your first challenge is to prove it.
India's test team is going too good at this moment until the WTC final & the next tour of South Africa and New Zealand & Eng under stokes... Stop the needless chest thumping. It's not amusing anyone
@@amitm2692 I am not telling that we are the best in the world even if we won in england, australia. It just bazball can not stustain long term. At the end test cricket requires some special technic. Same kind people from England were discusing related to how to produce spinners and how to play and still they are not doing that..That thing will be come out in India tour and they will start discusing same thing again.
@@aniketpharakate5114 What Eng is doing is not a fluke & it's not blind slogging.... there is a lot of conviction and method in the madness.... Winning 10 tests out of 11 cannot be achieved without skill & planning and execution....go watch his England played today on a green top against New Zealand.... whether they win in india or not doesn't really matter at this time..jab hoga tab ki baat tab hai....
@@amitm2692 out of 10 they won 6 at home , 3 in pakistan and 1 in nz. They have not tested in sa,aus,ind. We won 2 series straight in Aus. I dont think so Eng can achieve this within next 50 years. I can understand england is playing too good at this moment no doubt in that. Its just they are not creating a team which will rule the world.
@@aniketpharakate5114 Winning is a habit & mentality...You need the right personal & leadership...So let's stop bragging about our own team as if they are world beaters.. ..We won in AUS but then couldn't replicate that elsewhere... India's batting got exposed in New Zealand, South Africa twice, lost in the WTC final, lost to Eng in 2018 & managed to draw it last time..Barely managed to win that last test in Bangladesh when the middle order capitulated...No team is perfect mate.Not even india..... Test matches are won by bowlers & England has ample quality in that...time will tell whether England can sustain this but for now it's awesome....
england would be the 3rd best team with or without bazball . with this you will be getting 50 all outs more often in india and australia . they were 4th best when NZ were good in 2021 now they are third best with harry brook,the super talent coming in
New zealand didn't do shit outside New Zealand..Definition of home track bullies......Whitewash in Australia, South Africa, lost in srilanka, couldn't even win in Pak, lost 0-3 in india in 2018, lost in Bangladesh. ENG before bazball started have drawn a series in Bangladesh, won twice in srilanka in 2018 & 2021 , won in south africa in 2021... England, aus & india are the only 3 test nations that are competing... Rest of the nations test cricket is dead....no one watches it
But they weren’t the third best team… before key, stokes and mccullum came in England had lost away to India, Australia and West Indies and lost at home to New Zealand.
@@JimChap I like New Zealand, James but they are a highly conditions dependent team..when it stops swinging, they are mediocre....when was the last time they won a test series or even a solitary match in south africa, aus or even subcontinent....big in ICC events I personally cheer for them
English people prioritise self-interest and class. You’ll rarely hear an English person invite “you & any of your friends” to their party. They will decide who, they will decide the class. BazBall or whatever. English people will always live and play cricket through a prism of entitlement. It’s an exciting style, born by a New Zealander, trying to paste over the still stale & elite society that English cricket represents. There is no silver bullet.
You would have to attend university and/or be immersed in modern day woke ideology and culture to even come close to believing something as ridiculous and delusional as that. You will be miserable forever if you look at the world like such an asshole.
Unfortunately that has become a part of most societies today... But yes, it is definitely a very English thing to do by some but not all... If they don't have talent the elite buy it so by owning it they feel they have it... Some people's 'self esteem' comes from having to feel superior to others and to do that they feel that they have to own everything. It's a power and control thing. It's part of that Empire mentality.

I always loved Rob Key and thought it was a great appointment to pick him
