Sorell steps down as South Australia Coach
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Australia-c844 Cricket Association. The poor performance of the South Australian team
is the main reason for Mark’s resignation as he knew that his contract will not be extended.
Previously, Sorell had coached the South Australian Women’s cricket team. During his tenure, the women team won 17 out of their 21 One-day internationals. Afterwards, Sorell signed a two year contract with SACA in 2007/08. He overtook the coaching duties
from Wayne Phillips in order to get South Australia back on track as during Phillips assignment with the team, they were way down on the charts table.
In the process, Sorell has become the second domestic coach to step down in a week. The first one to resign was http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Trevor-Barsby-c2710, last Wednesday as Queensland wanted Darren Lehmann as a coach of their state team.
Sorell also represented South Australia’s second eleven and also enjoyed playing league cricket with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806 as a wicket keeper.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jamie-Cox-c66230, the South Australian director of cricket told. "He has consequently stepped down as coach of the Redbacks, effective immediately," Cox said. Jeff Vaughan, the assistant, will take over for South Australia's one-day and Sheffield Shield games against
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Victoria-c859 this week.
Meanwhile, Barsby’s termination as a coach came as a result of player’s power. The Bulls were quite happy with their coach and wanted their governing body to terminate Barsby. Lehman will start his assignment on the second of January with a match against
Victoria.
Cox said, "I would like to make it very clear that this outcome was initiated by management and the board and not by the playing group.”The players have, however, been consulted and understand the reasons for the decision.
Lehmann, the former Australian batsmen is currently coaching the IPL franchise Deccan Chargers. In his tenure, the Chargers won the IPL in 2009. Resultantly, the Queensland cricket authority provided him the opportunity, keeping in mind his IPL stint.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Queensland-c834 CEO suggested, “Darren’s earned a reputation as an innovative coach in the IPL and with his extensive international playing and coaching experience, we are confident he will further assist the development of our promising young
squad”.
