I agree its a shame for SL. But I would not say that Tom has no chance of coaching Australia...Because these things can change very quickly and IMO, it would be Australia's loss if they don't seize the opportunity and nail him down sooner or later if not as National coach then at least with the Academy.Real shame for SL - they're on the verge of big things IMO
Might be a good move for the family but it's a poor business decision - going back to coach a state team in a country where there's no likelihood of being national coach for quite a few years is a definite backward step AND if WA dont improve his market value will only drop
Very disappointing for SL ...but that's the way the cookie crumbles...SL Cricket could've offered him a massive deal he could not refuse, but they are very tight fisted when it comes to coaches...and very expansive and lavish when it comes to celebrating among themselves or fighting elections against each other ... that's the state of the administration in SL..http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/current/story/294056.html

What difference would that make, for one Gilly never plays for WA these days. Secondly Trevor and Tom never said anything about Gilly. What would what others say about someone, make a difference between there relationship.All the crap that was being said about Gilly his Western Australian mate by the Lankan board officials and fans probably made Moody's decision to quit an easier one, but on a more serious note i think he did a fantastic job with the Lankan team and hats off to him for his superb tenure as the Lankan coach.
A job very well done Tom.
Yeah it makes no sence at all why would you want to No 2 forever. Im sure Sri Lanka would sign him pretty quick, if he wanted the job. Seriously what would you rather be assistant coach at state side or a national coach. Does look like he has much ambition to me.I really hope Trevor Penney stays , although it seems unlikely... Can't understand why Trevor is following Tom like he was Tom's appendage ...
Really if he stayed , SL Cricket should seriously give him a 4 year contract or make him National coach for next 2 years .
Ashley Mallett or John Wright .Yeah it makes no sence at all why would you want to No 2 forever. Im sure Sri Lanka would sign him pretty quick, if he wanted the job. Seriously what would you rather be assistant coach at state side or a national coach. Does look like he has much ambition to me.
If Chappell does to SA, who is left for us to sign?
Whats his number, should give him a call IMOAshley Mallett or John Wright .
Steve Rixon , Geoff Marsh outside possibilities....or Back to Dav Whatmore ..
I would even try Troy Cooley or some one like that if they are available...
But given Bruce Yardley's strong connections with SL Cricket, I would not rule out some one else from WA even...
Would start with 07 (is that the area code for WA)Whats his number, should give him a call IMO
Should get hold of Steve Ervine, he should have it, hitting his daughter and all.Would start with 07 (is that the area code for WA)
You are confusing Steve Irwin with Shaun Ervine aren't you?Should get hold of Steve Ervine, he should have it, hitting his daughter and all.
He's a good coach and has shown with Zimbabwe he's keen to give one of the less sides a go. We really need someone who wants to make a name for themselves or is looking for a challenge. What about the former Irish coach, what is he going these days?But SL cricket could offer Geoff, A chance to become National coach again...
Thanks for completely disregarding what I thought was helpful correctionHis a good coach and has shown with Zimbabwe his keen to give one of the less sides a go.
