Interesting that the Sri Lanka list is apparently Bayliss, Oliver and Siddons and the India list is Embury and Ford. I would have thought there would have been some overlap.

I suspect Moody saw the potential there and decided to give it a go.Reasons are india has all the cash srilanka don't.Still wonder how they landed moody.
I mean, it's seriously enhanced his coaching credentials.

Well, Moody was rejected by India over Greg Chappell and was happily snapped up by the Lankans.

It's because most Indian cricket fans think the coach is going to be the saviour. Sadly, it looks like our players are also starting to get into that line of thinking.Gottaat the way that turned-out, really.
Mind, you never know what'd have happened had it been the other way around.

Interesting to note that Bayliss approached Sri Lanka, not the other way around. Its seems his pretty even to get the job. As a NSW fan i'm still not convinced about his abilities, he hasn't been that great for NSW and hasn't really got anything extra out of the players. But at the end of the day I rather someone who really wants the coach us.
I really think Bayliss should be given the Job for 2 years with a clause for extension if he does well.(with an increased remuneration then).
Of the three in that list , I would be averse for SL to even get anywhere near Siddons ...he really would be the worst and poorest choice.
Bayliss would do well for us. And I hop they give him the all go and pick him. I am excited that he approached us and that really means he is keen . It would be stupid for SL cricket to let this Golden opportunity go past.

As a NSW player Trevor Bayliss was a gutsy cricketer who gave it everything and I know he is well respected as a player , despite not really getting anywhere near Australian Team selection.. I love his fighting , gutsy sort of attitude, which is what we (Sri Lanka) want in our coaches... not the big spending Millionaires...

I hope bayliss stays at NSW and doesn't get the nod for srilanka.I am biased .
Heard oliver was at the forefront of the candidates.
Interesting srilanka did not make a play for dav whatmore maybe he asking too much or the same reasons india had for not choosing him.
Sad the quality of coaches applying the srilanka board must be short on cash.

If they pick a coach on coaching ability Oliver far greater option then Bayliss really in the last couple seasons Bayliss hasn't done a great deal with NSW. Yeah we made the Pura Cup Final, but we stumbled over the line and didn't really deserve to be there. Our position near the bottom of the table in the other 3 comps probably shows Bayliss ability as a coach.
Siddons is yet to prove him at domestic level. He was Australia's assistant coach, but unlike Trevor Penney he didn't get big raps. TBPH is still go other Penney over these 3 any day of week. But im sure we will go for an Australian on the belief "Oh their Australian they must be a good coach," not nessary on their abilties as coach.
