National selector of New Zealand, Glenn Turner under Scrutiny
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Maitland-Turner-c60187, currently designated as the national selector of Cricket New Zealand, is under scrutiny as the relevant board works towards appointing a new selection panel for the next year.
Turner is expected not to continue his job with cricket New Zealand when it all comes down to the selector appointments.
Coach John Wright is expected to receive the call-up but it all depends upon the decision of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Willey-c81951 be.
Other members that are expected to be part of the newly devised selection panel are current convener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bernard-Lance-Cairns-c47799.
Cairns enjoys a slight advantage due to backing from Coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Geoffrey-Wright-c67883.
Turner is still not 100 percent sure whether he wants to forward his name for consideration, but the decision to choose the selector, manager and support staff for the black caps solely rests with New Zealand cricket appointments panel.
The newly established appointment panel is expected to include the chief executive of cricket New Zealand, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 Cricket.
After the departure of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daniel-Luca-Vettori-c52306, the board is yet to decide on the new skipper for the black caps. The board’s decision will be based on the recommendations proposed by Coach John Wright and John Buchanan.
Turner has rendered various http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Services-c840 for cricket in New Zealand as the former skipper of the side, then as the national coach and selector. Turner is the only Kiwi player that has scored more than a hundred first class centuries.
Over the years Turner has been in the headlines for major differences with the board and players. One of his famous disputes was with the New Zealand cricket council, as a result of which turner did not play a single test-match for New Zealand from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/March-c74391
1977 to February 1983.
His second stint was as a coach, that featured the walk-out of all rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Craig-Parore-c41893 from the tour of Caribbean in 1996.
Back then, Pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dion-Joseph-Nash-c54185, was part of that tour. He revealed that those players did give a tough time to the 63-year-old and the administration as well.
During Turner’s career as a selector, Dion learnt more about his personality as compared to the era when he was a coach.
He said "Back then we misunderstood each other but we've had an opportunity to resolve that. I found him great to work with - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-James-Harris-c44410 with no agendas and always open to intelligent debate. However, if you disagree with him, you had better come with a strong
argument and tell him why. If you don't, he naturally assumes you agree."
