Moles Resigns; NZ Coaching Situation

"Matt Keeton (Takapuna)
Thursday October 22, 2009 I be it is people in there like McCullum who quite simply is in it for one person only, himself. Let's face it, he has never been up to the mark as batsman or gloveman. He should have been dumped years ago. he is the bad apple and things will continue to fester while he is there."
Some people have no idea. While I am annoyed at McCullum's performances with the bat over the past year you can't argue that he is one of, if not the best, keeper in the world. Not entirely sure how anyone would know whats going on behind the scenes with any of the players/management without being directly involved.
Matt Keeton of Takapuna, give yourself an uppercut.

Andrew Saville?
Why would any player admit they are short of talent, lack work ethic and are somewhat aweful by international standards, thus jeopardising a lucrative income? It's much smarter to make out it's the coach. As for cricket itself, I think the sport believes too much in it's own importance. I don't know any kids who play or even want to play the game. I know lots of kids playing soccer, golf, hockey and tennis.

Sounds like Mark Watson's crap radio talkback tbh.
Anyway, Flem isn't going to coach the side. According to 3 news.

bring in steve rixon or another guy who's not going to take any crap or poor performances. most of the black caps did pretty well in their first 10 or so games but then just expected to get picked. whilst the domestic scene isn't filled with talent maybe the thought of being dropped will scare these guys into some form. we got pakistan bangladesh and australia this season, not easy beats (considering we barely beat bangladesh last year, well vettori beat bangladesh that is)

I would be happy with Rixon or Wright. Both have experience at the highest level and will be able to help them out techniquely. If Wright isnt a good enough man manager then lets get a good MANAGER!

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
You'd think Wright would be the best candidate for the job. I guess it's down to him if he wants it or not, as I know he said earlier in the year he wanted to focus a bit more on his family, or living at New Zealand (something like that).

John Dyson enters race to be New Zealand coach | New Zealand Cricket News | Cricinfo.com
I'd forgotten about old Dyson, he seems to regularly get shafted by whoever he coaches
He'd be a good choice, with loads of experience. It seems like things will boil down to a two horse race between Dyson and Rixon.
John Wright really needs to communicate more
, he could have at least said he was giving it some thought it by now.

So replace a coach who had previously been dumped by two other international teams... with one who has previously been dumped by two international teams?John Dyson enters race to be New Zealand coach | New Zealand Cricket News | Cricinfo.com

Yeah, seems strange. Mutterings about Wright being a poor organiser but as others have said that can easily be remedied by recuiting a good man-manager. And also no-one seems sure whether Wright wants the job (or at least it hasn't been made public).
But really, if Wright can make a success of the differing personalities and enormous pressures of coaching India that must say a huge amount about his abilities, regardless of these other issues. Perhaps he really is saying he doesn't want the job... or doesn't want it yet.

Dyson's a beast, he was just set up to fail by the WICB with that whole 64354 XI debacleSo replace a coach who had previously been dumped by two other international teams... with one who has previously been dumped by two international teams?
Plus when they offered him a new contract, they gave him one with the wrong name on it
He has a reasonable record for the teams he coached, I suppose the obvious recent black mark was that Duckworth-Lewis ****-up, but I'm sure he has learned from that.
Sri Lanka losing to us at home, being demolished by Martin and smacked around by Vincent and Harshall is another
It's not like he was sacked in the circumstances that Moles has been through over and over, he just didn't have his contracts renewed.

Sri Lanka hint at persisting with Dyson | Cricket News | Global | Cricinfo.com
This old article suggests that the players thought he was ok - just the administrators weren't fans of his necessarily. I guess he wasn't there first choice to begin with so when they had a chance to upgrade they took it?

Yeah, Dyson was well liked by the Sri Lankan players, but there was some politics within the board and administration back then. There was a huge clean-out of the management in 2005, with the board being dissolved and the government getting involved. It coincided with Dyson's contract renewal.

Millmow's an idiot though
Would anyone give a flying crap who he endorses?
But yeah, it is rumored that Wright might have actually shown interest. You'd think he'd actually say something himself...
Edit: I don't think having both Wright and Rixon would work, Rixon doesn't seem like the kind of fellow who would want to play second fiddle and just 'assist'.
