Michael Atherton has certainly not been shy for words while assessing Ashley Giles ' tenure as managing director of England men's cricket, following his departure from the role on Wednesday.
Giles has become the first casualty from England's Ashes debacle, with Australia comfortably retaining the urn after winning the series 4-0.
More departures are expected, including that of head coach Chris Silverwood, but Atherton feels Giles has paid the price for "failing to get the big decisions around personnel and structure right".
