    Looks like there will be a new Black Caps coach and it will either be Shane Bond or Rob Walter. Stead out altogether.

    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?

        Go Bondy !

        Injury prevented him achieving ongoing greatness as a player, lets see if he can do it as a coach.

          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.

                  Remarkable? Disappointment more than surprise.

                    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

                            On paper looks promising - has both familiarity with NZ cricket and international experience.

                            Good stuff

                                An interesting selection is Mr Walters.

                                      One thing he will do is sharpen up the fielding it is one of his main things he works on.
