Sir Ian Botham: 'England must move on'

Sir Ian Botham suggests that England should "move on" from coach Peter Moores following their early exit at the Cricket World Cup.

Sir Ian Botham has suggested that England should part company with coach Peter Moores following their disastrous showing at the Cricket World Cup.

The Three Lions were eliminated at the group stage of the tournament as they lost four of their six matches in Pool A.

Botham believes that England need to "move on" from their current approach to one-day international cricket and start learning from other teams around the world.

"They've got to move on I think, join the rest of the world," he told Sky Sports News. "They need to stop saying 'we haven't done much wrong' or 'we're not far off'. They're miles away at the moment.

"Look at the way the rest play. We're not at the races. They're still playing as the game was played 20 years ago. They think if they get to 280, they've got a good score. That's not even par for the course over here. You have to be dynamic."

Following his team's exit at the Cricket World Cup, Moores insisted that he was eager to stay in his role as England coach.
