Yes but he is England coach full stop, he can't do everything, did he ever coach Read?.

They said it here, they have asked Jack Russell to help G O Jones, he has problems, he had a poor tour to South Africa, what can Russell do in 4 or 5 months before the Ashes?.
I have no doubt Russell does know a potential kepper, but time is running out, the Ashes start in July, I would not like to see the likes of Ponting dropped on 20 or so.
