Shane Bond expresses interest in New Zealand bowling coach post – Cricket News Roundup – Part 3 – August 30, 2012
Former Kiwi paceman Shane Bond has expressed his interest in the post of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka this September.
“I am interested in the role, but I want to know more,” Bond said in conversation with
Fairfax NZ News. “There's not much else to say really, until I see a job description.”
Wright, who took up the post mid-2011, announced his intent to step down following the World T20 for the sake of devoting more time to his family, and while New Zealand Cricket have confirmed that they will be advertising the post, Bond’s expression of interest
has aroused the special interest of the board.
A veteran of 18 Tests (with 87 wickets to his name) and 82 ODIs (147 scalps), Bond retired from international cricket in 2010, and has recently been working as a bowling coach for the NZC and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Central-Districts-c777 team.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 Cricket (SLC), has revealed that despite the huge amount of work which still needs to be done, the board is well on its way to regaining fiscal stability.
“.. there were serious challenges with finances ... there is a handle on it now and there's progress being made. But there's still a long way to go,” said Lorgat. “Sri Lanka Cricket has taken up and understood what the issues are.”
Owing to major expenses incurred during the ICC World 2011 (for which Sri Lanka acted as co-host), the SLC fell into major financial problems, after racking up debts of close to $70 million. Lorgat has been appointed special advisor to the board until October
31 this year, and will be conducting an independent review to investigate the structure, governance and finances of the board.
Indian batting great http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 has maintained that he has no plans to retire from the sport, going on to state that he will only bow out of the game when he loses his enjoyment for cricket.
“As long as there is a reason to wake up with a reason in the morning, it makes sense in continuing,” said the batsman, after being honoured at the Castrol Awards for Cricketing Excellence ceremony in Bangalore. “The day I don't enjoy wielding bat in my
hands, I will think otherwise.”
A holder of numerous records – including most Test runs (15489 from 189 matches), most ODI runs (18426 from 463 matches), and a landmark 100 international centuries, Tendulkar’s retirement has been the subject of much debate, with the batsman having reached
the age of 39. However, despite the retirements of many of his contemporaries, among them http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772, Tendulkar has expressed no interest in hanging up his boots.
