Rob Key lacks experience, but good on him for taking on the role of his life

Another ECB establishment puppet. You have to say if the ECB think he's the right man for the job, given their policy record of destructive gimmicks, he's probably the wrong man. He has no air of authority, just like the luke-warm Giles before him, just a front man to field criticism with bland platitudes, exactly what he did as a pundit. We need someone to stand up for the game as a whole, not just cow-tow to the white ball short term cash cow. There's no evidence to suggest Key has the chops for this.
