Although the selection panel require change, selecting another panel who are puppets would be equally ineffective, in my view.
The selectors have to be independent but flexible to take advice from the Board rather than being manipulated.
Even if there is absolute independence and the best players are placed into a non workable environment then performances would be unaltered.
Therefore that environment of Manager, Coach and Captain required immediate review,with a view of actioning immediate change following the New Zealand series.

I don't know, it doesn'tย seem all puppetry. To me, it looks like a case of selectors going full retard AND puppetry. For eg. how would you explain away Sammy being captain in TESTS but taking his captaincy away from ODIs except resorting the full retard hypothesis? I think someone would half a brain would do WI a world of good - although yes, granted that problem runs far deeper.
