Michael Vaughan doubted Peter Moores

MICHAEL VAUGHAN shared the concerns of his successor as England captain, Kevin Pietersen, about coach Peter Moores and flagged up his doubts to the England and Wales Cricket Board last February when the team were touring New Zealand.
Pietersen was forced to resign last week after demanding the ECB remove Moores. Pietersen had told the board: “The whole of the team think he is no good. The whole team want him to go.” The board said that few players supported Pietersen’s stance but sacked Moores anyway.
Vaughan, inset, who quit the captaincy in August, first contemplated stepping down in New Zealand. Moores’ devotion to training, computers and statistics was thought to be a big factor. Another of Pietersen’s demands had been that Moores and his fellow selectors call up Vaughan as a player for the winter tour to the Caribbean. They declined.
Matthew Hoggard, who was in New Zealand, said he had noticed trouble between players and management during the 2007 tour of Sri Lanka, six months after Moores’ appointment. “There were differences. They thought the management was stand-offish. They didn’t feel like they were getting on.” Asked if the players had felt that way since Moores started, Hoggard added: “Yes, I think they did.”
Pietersen last night claimed that he had originally been due to meet the ECB to discuss his concerns 48 hours after he was forced out. He also maintained that he had never submitted his resignation last week, as some reports suggested, but was told via email: “Your resignation is accepted with immediate effect.”
ECB officials have acknowledged that there were problems with Moores. “The situation was extraordinarily serious long before Christmas, even before Pietersen’s captaincy,” said one. Another added, “A lot of older players liked Fletcher as counsellor and adviser. Peter was not really like that. He had a strong work ethic. That way had worked at Sussex but it didn’t fit the England model. He was overpromoted.”
Moores’ ability to handle players proved disappointing yet he remained popular with some, notably Andrew Flintoff, who had fallen out with Fletcher. But Pietersen’s timing was poor, demanding Moores’ removal just seven months before the Ashes. “They thought, ‘Why are we going to war?’” said one source
