Bond to leave Black Caps

[Blakey]

How much of NZ's success with their bowling attack can be put down to him?

all of it really...

uh oh

Nah, Southee was already taking bags of wickets before Bond came on the scene, and Boult was bowling very well as well. Bond's done an excellent job but he's far from irreplaceable. Still would've loved for him to stick around for another year for the sake of the injury prone quicks like Milne and Henry.

Allan Donald started the turn around iirc. Bond continued the good work.

Damien Wright did a pretty good job in between the two of them as well.

This is really bad news for New Zealand cricket.

This is always a nervous time where you're hoping the new person doesn't ruin everything.

Simon Doull knows his pace bowling. No idea what he's like as a coach but his name comes to mind.

What Donald, Bond and Wright have done is build a very strong base of bowling IP in all of our guys, so even when they're not surrounded by coaches they can be either self sufficient, or work together in a group to get the best out of each other. They're all very bowling smart

Not saying for a second that we shouldn't appoint another ideal candidate, FYI

Joins Mumbai Indians.Good decision

Second pinching Doully from sky. All for hearing more of rudds .

Joins Mumbai Indians.Good decision

Thought this is what happened. Good money, three months. More time with the family. No brainer really

Bond cashing in while his name is still hot, fair enough. Hopefully he's laid enough groundwork so the next guy to come in won't have to change much.

Nah I have a sneaking suspicion it's a package negotiation and he's in line for the India Bowling Coach role.

Since when has that happened before, IPL + Indian deal??

Short answer is it hasn't and it'll be Mumbai rather than the BCCI who are his employers, but I suspect this is a move to get him more familiar with India etc before he applies for the India role.

I dunno, just a wild guess tbh.

He could just want easy money and plenty of spare time.

Joe Daws did it (I think)

Can't see Simon Doull leaving his cushy job/lifestyle with no real responsibility or accountability.

Not even Bond could help those indian pacers imo. Just not good enough.

Bond will do wonders with Yadav. That kid has a serious ceiling.
