John Buchanan Replacement

After the world cup as I guess most people know that JB is retiring after the World Cup.
But who will be his replacement? Throw pup some names and why.

Tom Moody - Is or did coach Sri Lanka, Was part of the Aussie team when they were strong in the 90s
Greg Chappell - Pretty easy to tell why, just solong as it doesn't turn out like the Indian situation
Goeff Marsh - Has caoched the team before, I think to the 99 WC and ashes success. Some of the sniors will know how he works.

Troy Cooley
Seems to be working well with the bowlers and maybe Rodney Marsh to help during this generational transition.

No.You just leave Cooley to look after the bowlers and get another coach in for the main job.Who that is i wouldn't like to say as i don't know who would be in the reckoning.The new coach has probably already been chosen anyway.

There is speculation Buchanan is going, but that is all it is. Why would he not keep his job? Easily the most successful coach in the history of the game, that revolutionised coaching through the clever use of available technology thus bringing it into the 21st century.

I noticed during Glenn McGraths retirement press conference that he took time to give JB special mention - describing him as a "visionary" and counting him as an important factor in not only his success, but the team's as well.

Won Queenland their first Sheffield Shield and four others, taken Australia to the level of undesputed champions with daylight second. We have all the possible test trophies, the world cup trophy, and the ICC champoins trophy to boot.

To write off the greatest coach in the history of the game is crazy IMO.
