What we can take from this is that Hess loves money.
They don't get the India money though (obviously) and aren't (or certainly weren't) super wealthy.
Remember when Mohammed Asif got pinged for spot fixing at Lords? He was on 35k USD/year as an international bowler. Given that was a fair few years ago, but Pakistan wasn't splashing money around then - no idea how it is now

Better than that now,Pakistan 20/20 comp puts more money in to the local scene.

Seems like they were willing to pay Watson $2mil a year last year.
Hess will also need to stand down for his Indian roles

Looks like there will be a new Black Caps coach and it will either be Shane Bond or Rob Walter. Stead out altogether.
Last Men Standing: Blackcaps coaching race down to two as Stead drops out of contention

Two metre Peter will be annoyed, thought he was well in the frame.

You would have thought they would have at least given the guy an interview considering his domestic coaching record?

I thought Bond was fantastic during his brief spell as our bowling coach, and he's one of the few commentators that actually come across as having a real deep insight of what's happening rather than reacting after the fact, so I'm hopeful that he'd be a success.
-
It's kind of remarkable that NZC didn't try to line this up with the coaching appointment.

What gets me is that the incoming coach will be working with players that he has had no say in the selection of in this contract list.
There is also a list of 5 players who received casual contractswhich I'm not sure has been released? From what I understand those players are
Williamson, Conway, Seifert & Allen but I don't know who the other one is. -

That was guaranteed as soon as he stood down from his SA roles in March/April

Would love it if Bond could be our bowling coach again
