Allan Donald desires to coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757
Former South African pace bowler, Allan Donald, missed out on an opportunity to coach the Australian team, but has expressed his desire to be a part of his national side as a bowling coach.
Donald is currently associated with the New Zealand team as an assistant coach and has done a decent job with the bowers until now.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/White-c96514 Lightening stated, “I’ve not had contact with anybody from Cricket SA (CSA), but they’re appointing a new head coach soon, and he will need support staff. So who knows?”
He further added, “If I get half a chance, I’d jump at it. But it feels like it’s never going to happen. I keep saying, ‘Maybe one day.’ I would be the most stupid man in the world not to consider an offer to join my own national team’s coaching staff.”
Former Australian speedster, Craig McDermott, was appointed as the bowling coach of his national team ahead of Donald. The Kangaroos have been struggling a lot in the recent past and their bowlers have found it hard to take wickets, especially in the Test
matches.
According to the general manager of Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Brown-c75791, both Donald and McDermott were equally good candidates, but only one had to be chosen for the job. However, the Aussie was selected considering his vast coaching experience in the
national structure.
There is a possibility that Donald will be confirmed as a bowling coach with the Kiwi team, as he brought significant improvement in the fast bowlers. The former pacer is eying a two-year deal with the cricket authorities in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754.
New Zealand had struggled to perform in 2010 in both home and away series and their worst came in Subcontinent, which was scheduled to hold the ICC World Cup 2011. The team lost 11 out of 12 games against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 on Asian soil and
their chances in the Mega Event looked slim.
However, the cricket authorities in the country took some significant steps to bring improvement in the performance of players. They hired http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Wright-c69045 as the head coach of the team and Donald as the assistant, which helped the team reach the semi-final of
the World Cup.
