I dont want to write Parkinson off at all. At the end of the day he takes wickets on pitches that work against him regularly, so whatever pace he bowls atand how he goes about it, its worked, and shouldnt be dismissed without a chance to prove otherwise.
But sadly, its not how professional sports work. I think if Flower had never laid into Leach's attitude, he'd have played more. Criticism of players, whether valid or not, tends to linger a long time and affect the opportunities that present themselves. So the talk of MP's lack of pace will reduce the margin of error and patience afforded to other players in his position. And for that reason, I cant see him lasting long.
Similarly, Silverwood forever tainted Bess in India by sending him home and saying he needed to get better..... its no surprise with those three having their relative question marks from influential peers, the team are looking to bring back retirees without such things, even if they are worse performers.
