O'Keefe tells ECB to stick with McCullum as head coach
Steve O'Keefe, the former Aussie spinner, is calling for the ECB to keep Brendon McCullum as England's head coach after they dropped two matches in the Ashes 2025-26 series. He says McCullum's Bazball has injected fresh energy compared to the Root-Silverwood era, but he needs to adapt and take criticism like a champ to tackle the Australians. Adapt, McCullum — or you're just an idiot sandwich!
Quick rundown
- McCullum's coaching has turned England's cricket ship around, but it's still sailing in stormy waters.
- O'Keefe believes sticking with McCullum is better than going back to the dark ages of Root and Silverwood.
- England's Ashes performance has been as shaky as a toddler on a tricycle.
- Fun fact: No England team has conquered Australia since the dinosaurs roamed the earth... or at least since 2010/11.
- The key takeaway? Adapt or get thumped – it's a tough love lesson in Test cricket!
