We're all extremely proud that Welshmen were at the heart of England's Ashes success.

Our approach is common sense in this professional era, and the WRU has ideals we've looked at.

If you have raw pace everything else can be worked on. It is a rare human who can propel a cricket ball at above 85mph.

The attitude of both the Welsh rugby team and English cricket team is very similar.

Cricket is just following the same trend as football and rugby. You do see world-class players becoming world-class coaches because they have all that first-hand knowledge. But then there are other coaches who have spent less time playing and more developing interpersonal skills. The saying goes that good coaches coach technique, great ones coach people.
