New Zealand Cricket - New Zealand Cricket announce BLACKCAPS coach Greatbatch got it........

I had a small outburst in the Bangladesh tour thread you can check it out there. Or the short story is: He's clueless

Gillespie shows so much promise but really doesn't deliver all that often kinda like Sinclair. He probably deserves a few more chances though.

I am starting to set myself up for disappointment Greatbatch will probably get it. :( Jeff Crowe has been mentioned in a cricinfo article its the first time i've heard his name thrown in the ring for it.

Yep but I see that as a good thing if he is prepared to give that up to coach NZ its showing hes really dedicated.

Lehmann is popular choice by a few of the blackcaps it seems. I am very doubtful it is Greatbatch if it was it would have been confirmed awhile ago not just a few days out from a series starting. Arthur's name keeps coming back as well the whole coach thing has only suddenly started up since he...

Coach is going to be announced tomorrow morning. Darren Lehmann and Mark Greatbatch are rumored to be the front runners for it, I hope its not the latter.

Well with the selection of Franklin and McKay the firebirds lose both their strike bowlers. Hitchcock to be our number one strike bowler? :laugh With so many injuries already I am struggling to put together a team it might be time to call up some of those under 19 players. Ari added 2...

Lack of depth has always been the main problem as has already been said Rugby is by far the main sport in NZ so most natural sporting talent ends up going there. On top of that things like the IPL/ICL are causing some of our better players to call time on their careers far to early. McMillan...

From what I understand he was announced as vice captain with the Bangladesh squad announcement and it was meant to be kept quiet. So as far as the Pakistan series went he wasn't the vice captain then so McCullum was the logical choice back then I would assume Ross Taylor would take over if...

Fleming said no to it because he was to close with some of current players still infact I think he is still the manager of Brendon McCullum and James Franklin. I reckon he would be a good coach maybe sometime in the future though.

Ross Taylor is officially the vice captain now, not to surprised with that hes one of only a few whos spot is secure in all three formats. Also anything which knocks McCullum's ego down a few levels is good. :D

Well Vaughan did confirm someone will be named before the start of the Bangladesh series so within six days in other words. For me I would like to see Arthur get the job I am a big fan of his and I don't see many other good options around at the moment either however I still reckon that is a...

A rumor going around here in NZ now is that Mickey Arthur is set to be announced as the NZ coach within the week - the plot thickens. I can't see it happening but if its true that makes things very interesting.

I made my feelings about Greatbatch known in the Bangladesh tour thread. As for Arnel the whole thing is just strange I would never give a contract to anyone who has not played for the Blackcaps before, it is something you need to earn.

Haha its all good CD host the final thanks to you guys!

Yep Otago got 15 in their innings, Auckland coming out now to bat. Ari added 1 Minutes and 36 Seconds later... Wicket first ball for Otago!

He took 12 off the last over to get CD into the final. The Otago vs Auckland game has been on TV but they have a camera at the ND vs CD so we have been getting updates from there too. Also Wellington won so we didn't finish last which was a relief, was a good game as well.

haha what a day in NZ domestic cricket!!!

Can't see the game in Hamilton starting again rain has become very steady. Auckland vs Central final.
