For a man who has been around so long, there's no doubt about it that he knows his stuff. However, his arrival as a national coach marks a new era in English cricket. His 7 years at the helm of English cricket have seen some great success, including the recent home and away rankings. If anyone can make a mark on English cricket, it's Brian Lara. There's no doubt about it: Brian Lara is the leading candidate to be appointed as the head coach of England, if not the entire England team.
