What's The Story?: The panel look at coaching and power in sport

Each week on What's The Story?, Sarah-Jane Mee and her expert panel look at some of the big talking points from within the sporting realm.

Andy Flower's future

England's team director Andy Flower has used his powers to mastermind three successive Ashes victories, with the third of those coming at The Oval on Sunday night. The Zimbabwean has remained coy over his long-term plans amid rumours he could step down after this winter's Ashes campaign, and former England Women's captain Connor echoed the sentiments of skysports.com blogger Bob Willis by stating that Flower would be sorely missed if he did depart. "Andy will say that teams continue to go forward and reach new heights, but he has been critical to the team's success over recent years. He is a great leader, a brilliant person and sets high standards." The panel also looked at how England may fare without Flower and the resignation of ECB managing director Hugh Morris, as you will hear by playing the adjacent video.
