Why?
There are some players who don't like him and some who really do, it will be interesting how it plays out,And who gets selected.

Interesting. A difficult personality or is he just a coach who has strict standards etc?

He is a typical South African hard nosed but fair.

As a local level observation, they're often the best with the boys who have plenty of talent, but not a lot of focus.

Kind of slipping under the radar - this feels like it should be a bigger deal!

Not the most naturally talented but I can't think of another player who eked out all he could out of himself like Dan the Man.
Carried the team on his own for quite a long period of time. Quite literally the best bowler, best batsman as well as being the captain at one stage.
I always thought it was a shame his career didn't start and end ten years later so he could have been a part of that extraordinary team we had.
Richly deserved.

He's a Cantab. Cantabs engrained in the old boys network.
It's not what you know it's who you know. Look at Henry Nicolls If he were't a Cantab he wouldn't be anywhere near the team. -

I see we now have Ken Rutherford in charge at Northern Districts too.
Absolute journeyman in sports administration.

There is a merry-go-round with the Otago coaching spot. Former Aussie international Ash Noffke has left to be Mike Hesson's assistant with Pakistan.

The schedule for the 25-26 home summer has been released.
Facing OZ, England, West Indies and South Africa.
Disappointed we aren't playing more T20I's tbhJust 3 tests at home, 3...

Frankly, this sucks. Again. We are a total minnow.
Our mens cricket season is basically done before Christmas, except for a 5 T20 tour in bloody March.
ICC events and IPL have killed our summers. I hate it. All the good players are playing overseas during the good weather, and what we are getting is a shitload of money earning T20 games that I just can't get excited about.
