A quarter of the job as Baz is still white ball coach.

 ECB have changed policy then, has Baz became coach with both formats.

Can anyone tell me why Key has not been sacked as well?

He appointed McCullum and then lit a cigar saying Bazball was the future, Baz soon gets found out and gets the sack.

Richard Gould has stated that Key will oversee and appoint the new red ball coach, the guy has managed to put English cricket back to where the series against Pakistan is now the relegation battle of test nations.

How can this guy be trusted to make such decisions when he simply is not good enough!

Because to sack Key would implicate Gould. See how it works?!

Key is a classic Sky TV gobsh***** who probably couldn't be trusted to run a bath. Alec Stewart would have been the ideal appountment, but for his family issues.

Looking at the interest that is taken in Domestic 50 over cricket, at the moment. It will not matter, who is in charge of the white ball game. There will no players, of the required standard. Who have played 50 over cricket. To pick for the team.
