The England Cricket Board (ECB) was criticised for letting him move as he was seen as a key figure in England's 2005 Ashes success who had little recent form. Following England's loss of the first test in The Ashes in Australia in 2006, former England captain Tony Greig commented that England missed Cooley. After England had lost the fourth test, Colley commented that the English side has lost it's "intensity", and was surprised at the team bringing back injured players like Ashley Giles.
He left in Dec 2005, I seem to remember we won the ashes that year.
