Ali de Winter installed as Australian bowling coach – Cricket News Update
Tasmanian, Ali de Winter, has been installed as the new bowling coach for the Australian team on a permanent basis, beating the likes of former Pakistani seamer, Waqar Younis, and New Zealander, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Damien-Wright-c1304.
"We're very pleased to have secured Ali's services for the role from a wide field of international candidates," said http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075 Howards, the team performance manager.
De Winter replaces http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Craig-John-McDermott-c51704, a former Aussie paceman, who left the job in May, citing the team’s hectic away schedule as a major reason. De Winter had been touted as the preferred replacement after missing out last year, and was further given a perfect
head-start during the recently concluded tour of England, where he worked closely with the some of the upcoming youngsters in Pat Cummins and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CJ-McKay-c1265, Ben Hilfenhaus
and the now retired http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brett-Lee-c48419.
While the tour turned out to be a disaster, in terms of results, de Winters’ coaching methods were highly impressive, which helped him to beat stiff competition from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 speedster earlier announced that he was out of reckoning
after an unsuccessful interview with Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
Despite no international experience, the 44-year-old has been an active and prominent figure in the Australian domestic circuit. Apart from playing 21 first-class games, he is the Tasmanian assistant coach and has further commitments in the Big Bash League
with Hobart Hurricanes.
However, he is surely to relinquish his domestic obligations after bagging the national team job on full-term basis. The former paceman is believed have played a pivotal role in the development of Hilfenhaus, who has gone on to cement a permanent place after
a slow start, and Jackson Bird, the rookie pacer.
"Ali presented well on how he would manage the role on a day-to-day basis and has impressed through his work with bowlers such as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.”
