Confirmation that the job has gone to Silverwood.
I think it's a good appointment and shows that the county circuit is still being noticed and they won't just go after someone with international experience who has coached another country.
His record is very impressive, he's a good age (44) and seems an intelligent cricket man.
The article quotes Ashley Giles as saying Silverwood has "detailed thoughts on what it will take to win the Ashes in Australia and win major ICC white ball competitions" so it's now up to him to deliver.
It's an interesting time for him to be taking charge, particularly as a former bowler himself as our opening bowling partnership for last decade and more is on the home straight and both will need replacing shortly.
At the other end of the order we still face many issues with the batting, thankfully the middle order is a bit more settled but still possibly needs looking at.
