They said the same thing the last time.

So, BCB certainly is not interested in Bowling Specialist Head Coach, hmm. There goes the chance of Ian and Donald.

Thanks for the link MO bhai. is it just me or the BCB guy and the reporter are saying completely different things? the bcb guy just said, amader kase koyekta high profile coach ase kintu naam bolte chai na, than how can the report claim Newell is running as a top candidate?

[firstlane]

I just hope the next head coach becomes successful and stay a long time with us.

He saw the ad in ICC website (but did not apply) and interested coaching low profile teams but awaits for BCB to come down to him and ask for his nod. How ridiculous !! Probably his agent is doing all the talking and negotiation and at the every last moment he will apply and get the job (if so happens).

[Dhakablues]

Pretty much Enayet Siraj said today at NTV that 'he heard from cricinfo' that Newell is interested and that the deadline is 15th and they will make a very quick decision. I guess, he didnt even go to the site and read it himself. And John Wright is also a possibility along with a high-profile NZ coach. I can't think of who else could it be other than probably,John Bracewell,,I would be really surprised if John was interested in Bangladesh job..Bottom line of his comments were : BCB is always in favor of a batting head-coach and they never will understand anything different, other than this time its not going to be an Aussie coach..

[jeesh]

Imo Newell will be better for us than Wright.

Wright has a wealth of experience, and a good track record. But have a feeling Newell will bring more energy into the role and fresh ideas. But either will be good.

No Nielsen please. That guy is one of the reasons why Australia cricket was on its way down. Look at their resurgence with Arthur.

I don't think only Nielsen should be blamed for Australia's downgrade. Nor should Arthur be given all the credit for Australia's upward performance. Things are looking better again as Australia have started implementing Argus Review recommendations (inspired by England's Schofield Report) one by one. Arthur is just part of the big picture. Appointment of Pat Howard (former rugby player) as General Manager of Team Performance was as vital as of Arthur's among many other things.
(sorry for going a little off topic here but as I said before we, as a developing cricket nation could learn a lot from England and Australia's experience)

Just by appointing a good head coach we might see glimpses of success here and there but to enjoy a consistent success over a long period we need to do much more.

According to Pakistan Observer, JS said if BCB was to approach him he would be interested. lol let the fight began. I'm so staying out of this one.

Is it just me or since the whole Pak tour saga pakistan media started paying a bit more attention to what's going on with our cricket?

On topic,let's hope BCB doesn't come up with a brain fart this time

Agreed!

[Night_wolf]

i read in jonokontho that newell was surprised that their was news of himk being interested about the head coach of bangladesh, he didn't show any interest and neither did anyone contacted his agents

[Maysun]

Thats why i said one of the reasons. The guys way too soft. Despite having such world class specialist coaches working under him he could never get the best out of his players. Under Mickey Arthur the players look more driven and have more confidence. Big difference in Australia under Geoff Marsh, Buchanan, Arthur and Nielsen.

Ian can you tell me why are you sitting on your butt and waiting for a call?..why dont you take the initiative and apply for the job rather then waiting for some BCB guys to call you..Their is a job opening, there is circular, Stop applying in twitter, apply where it matters

[Night_wolf]

i wanted mike newell to coach us for a long time..i hope this time it becomes true. and if we get the service of newell i want pont to be the bowling coach again, i have no problem with shane but newell and pont know well each other and pont knows BD players, so pont can help newell to settle in and do his job more easily. i want to keep our current fielding coach

i doubt this will come true but i can dream *sigh*

It's not just Pakistan bhai. Since BD has done well in one competition and launched the BPL, many coaches are suddenly smelling dollars and becoming mysteriously interested in Bangladesh.

We all have to remember it's only since February that cricket in the country has been really great. Before this it wasn't. Something happened in February. A door was unlocked.

Without the BPL, I doubt the Asia Cup results would have been what they were. So let's make certain the new head coach can understand what works in BD and develop that further.

However, it does rely on those appointing the coach to realise this too.

NW.. I am not applying on twitter. It's ironic bhai and aimed at IPL franchises who follow, plus some of the players in the IPL who know me from the BPL.

With regard to Bangladesh head coach, you have to realise I do not meet the criteria required by the board: successful head coach of a county or state team AND ostensibly a 'batting coach/head coach'. Plus of course, as Jalal Younis states :as big a name as possible.

There is no point wasting my time if the criteria is already set before application, and I don't meet it.

I don't hanker after the role NW. I have a contract in India for 4 years with Haryana for developing pace bowlers and overseeing some of their FC cricket. I also have project work throughout the year. Like Mick Newell, I already have a role elsewhere.

However, if a national board approaches you (as happened with the bowling coach role in 2010) then you listen and consider. You should only apply for a job if you are in a position to take it. But that doesn't stop you from talking to the board if they approach you.

I don't know why we "must" have a battingHC. I don't know why is that a norm all over the world.

Why can't bowling coach be a HC with a batting coach? It doesn't have to be the other way around.

That's why I like "manager" system better.

jurgensen doing a great job. I've seen how our bowling improved so much within this period. Bowlers got their confidence back. Specially our Bowlers are now a bit smarter and they are aware of their weaknesses. So if We hire a new bowling specialized head coach it will be foolish truly. And newZealand did great under his guidance. So batting HC needed.

I'm not saying now. Obviously we already have a bowling coach so hiring Ian Pont wouldn't make any sense. I was saying in general

[Night_wolf]

There you go..no point linking Ian with the HC anymore..lets move on

I need to slightly comment on the bowlers.

Rubel and Shaf became 'aware' at the end of 2010 when we beat NZ in the Banglawash. We completely out bowled NZ at that time. Nazmul was someone we spent a great deal of time working with when no one would pick him.

I know Shaf has somewhat lost his way and is now injured. Rubel is also injured too. Nazmul at least got a chance to show what we all knew he was capable of and although no one else bid for him in the BPL, we got him at DG. This also happened with Mashrafe who we fully backed and gave him the responsibility.

The support quicks (like Shahadat, Babu) either haven't been able to break in or perform consistently. It is worrying at this time, how low the stocks of genuine fast bowlers are. I would hope to witness a few coming through very soon from some sort of development work now the team isn't playing.

With regard to Shane, he has done a steady, professional job with the bowlers he has. His work ethics are good and he is a solid coach. I look forward to there being some good, new pacers under his guidance.
