Management supervisors is the phrase I was looking for. They have to justify their jobs when players are doing badly, so I imagine they're like a pack of rabid dogs at the moment. There's still a Flintoff-shaped hole in the team - someone who can take the game by the scruff of the neck and turn it on its head, someone who the opposition legitimately fear. KP fulfilled that role for a while before he lost his edge, along with that whole 'left arm spin' kerfuffle. The big teams have these players - McCullum, De Villiers, Warner/Faulkner, Sangakarra. England have nobody. Their most enterprising batsman is Jos Buttler, who you wouldn't say had any sort of stage presence. One might say that England can't have these players - the way selection works and the way their careers are micromanaged these days doesn't allow it. You need to keep your hands off these players and just let them go at it. The best example of that is David Warner - under the previous rudderless leadership at Australia he was seen as a troublemaker in a team that was in a mess. Now look at him. I imagine KP's stubborn refusal to be put in a box played more than a small part in his problems with the ECB.
