Smith to become Worcestershire assistant coach
Worcestershire batsman Ben Smith will take up a new role of assistant coach at the county at the beginning of next season.
Smith is now approaching the ripe old age of 39 years old and has admitted that he had already started looking at the next stage of his cricket career. It seems a popular move at Worcestershire due to the fact that Smith has played at the county for the majority of his career.
He has a tremendous amount of experience having scored over 29,000 first class runs in 12 season at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Worcestershire-c866. He has already been doing a minor coaching role at the county so the transition should be very smooth.
Smith has a number of qualities that will help him thrive in his new role as assistant coach next season.
Personal and professional qualities
The biggest asset that Smith possesses is his vast knowledge of the game and his experience of playing. He has scored runs in all types of conditions and played against all types of attacks.
He can pass this knowledge to the younger players coming through at Worcestershire. This will help them form a better idea of how they should play against certain attacks in varying conditions.
Smith knows the set-up of the club inside out. The fact he's already been performing minor batting coaching roles also proves that he is highly valued as a professional on and off the field.
He said: "I have taken the difficult decision to retire from playing at the end of this season. Over the years I have taken my coaching qualifications. To have the opportunity to start my 'second' career with such a talented group of players at Worcestershire is greatly appreciated."
Betting advice
Worcestershire are not one of the strongest counties on the domestic circuit at present. They lack a little bit of firepower in all areas of their team so be reluctant to bet on them to win any form of competition.
Smith should come in and organise the batsmen at the county more efficiently. This will mean that they go on and score more 50s and 100s and this in turn will allow them to win more matches. This is the best option for now because match by match betting will be more productive than having a punt on them to win a tournament or league.
