Why Rob Key picked Stephen Fleming over England's up-and-coming coaches: The coaching 'shift' that has swept cricket, why foreigners are judged through a different prism and the county coach who has been harshly overlooked

England's Managing Director Rob Key has appointed New Zealander Stephen Fleming as Test head coach, continuing a trend of overlooking domestic English candidates. As highlighted by Richard Gibson, only Peter Moores (twice) and Chris Silverwood have served as England Test coach from the English ranks this century. The decision has sparked debate about whether foreign coaches are judged by a different standard than their English counterparts, with at least one county coach considered harshly overlooked in the process.
