Kiwi bowling coach to quit after ICC World Cup 2015
Wellington: Shane Bond who is the New Zealand bowling coach has made it clear that after World Cup 2015 he will be leaving his post of Bowling coach and has not accepted the contract extension.
New Zealand Cricket’s head of cricket Lindsay Crocker said Bond did not accept the contract extension that was offered to him.
He added he was disappointed but hopeful that the Black Caps would soon reap rewards for what the former pacer Bond taught them and that the board respected his decision, reports espncricinfo.com.
“Make no bones about this – we’re very disappointed to be losing Shane,” Crocker said.
“He’s given great value to the Blackcaps programme and we were hopeful of having the benefit of his input over the next few seasons. However, we respect his decision and his reasons for making that decision, and wish him well in his endeavours post-World Cup,” said Crocker.
Bond took up the role of the bowling coach in October 2012, two years after he retired from international cricket.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
