Seriously what is it with Australian Coaches?
I love Jamie Siddons, I spent many years watching him carve out awesome innings for Victoria and a few games I saw him look a bit scratchy for South Australia.
I’m glad he got the top job in Bangladesh, but is it part of ICC regulations that you must have an Australian Coach?
Other than a handful of old grey haired exotically born English men, no one else seems to be allowed to coach.
Are we the only ones in the world who know where to put the witches hats.
Are we the only ones who know what you should have for breakfast?
Are we the only ones that can be bothered working with Shoaib Ahktar?
Cricket coaching is a weird science.
Cricket is the only sport where the captain is really a coach, so the coaching role is confusing at best.
The coach is more important than say Ian Chappell thinks they are, because the captain shouldn’t be looking after deficiencies in techniques or problems with frontal nudity. They should be working out tactics, saying clichés to the media and making sure their form is ok.
Are they less important then Duncan Fletcher ended up being, well of course they are. You don’t become the messiah, Dav Whatmore is the perfect coach, man behind the scenes, who works with the cricket administrators (who are the hardest people to deal with in the world including Bin Laden, George Bush and Navjot Sidhu) and makes sure the cricketers are mentally ready to play international cricket. 
Coaches should be there for selection, guidance and to organise training, and you don’t need to be Australian to do that.
I mean seriously India, Greg Chappell, I think I could do as well and I’d do it for a date with a bollywood star and a slab of kingfisher.
