I think that the view of a cricket coach has moved on from Shane Warne's "a coach is what you use to get to the game"
I want to pay tribute to Andy Flower and especially to Gary Kirsten as to of the best coaches around. I also want to mention Tom Moody who is also a brilliant coach...
Anyone know of any up and coming coaches at county/state/franchise level who might be able to be bracketed as the new Bob Woolmer/Duncan Fletcher one day?

I've read your manual Buzz - you have my vote mate!

Steve Rhodes somehow managed to get a good season out of Worcester by the end of the year. I went to see a match early on and it was looking pretty hopeless, so I think he much have something about him.

Waqar is doing well with Pakistan too. As is Alan Butcher with Zimbabwe (he was excellent at Surrey too)
Who is coaching afganistan?
I am still to be convinced by Chris Adams at Surrey who spends too much time talking to Sky Sports. Any Lancs fans got a view on Peter Moores?!
What about Nots fans?
-
On a serious note then, Giles White at Hampshire (my team) has been expectional. Winning the T20 was a great coup for us, but the more impressive thing is who we are bringing through. Yes Jimmy Adams has been going a while as has Carberry, but some of the younger players such as Danny Briggs, Jamie Vince and Michael Bates have got a great future. Watch Vince, it's like a young Michael Vaughan.
Having Lumb and a fitter Simon Jones is not the worst thing either.

Massive waste of money for a County that's completely skint, him and Watkinson. Championship relegation looms.

Bit controversial, but Mick Newell has had a blinder at Notts...

Why is that contraversial - you won the pennent!

A few people round the scene don't like him for one reason or another Buzz! Personally, I think he's an outstanding coach, the lads love him, and he's bringing home the bacon. Works for me.
Also, I'd kill for a bacon sandwich right about now...

Buzz, you cut me deep. I have to wait until Sunday for my aforementioned bacon. However, it will be with sausages, poached eggs and toast in the ultimate fry-up!

Andy Hurry has done quite well at Somerset, runners up in every competition is a good effort. Some counties prioritise some competitions over others. But andy hurry has got a competitive team in all formats. Also, bringing Jos Buttler in was a good move!

It was Kabir Khan till recently but I believe he left after some selection disputes.

Butcher was awful as a coach at Surrey imo, Surrey were terrible under him! I know a few of the lads in the set up who disliked him, and I myself went on tour with him to Sri Lanka with Surrey YC's and wasn't impressed. He had his two blue-eyed boys and wouldn't give anyone else the time of iday. He was also a really good confidence-knocker!
But if he is doing well with Zim, then good for them.

We have a coach for our 1's and 2's , ex-zim test player I think. New for this season with the first sesh on Weds

Ian Pont. Revolutionised the coaching of fast bowlers. Much more of a specialist than an all round 'Woolmer' type though.
-
Terry Jenner for the leg-spinners.
-
Ian Pont!! There is a name from the past. Has done wonders with a hell of alot of people i know. the man does speak and speak and speak, but all that speak and all his coaching will work. his biggest thing is to coach 'fast' bowlers on the 'front foot block and drop step' to gain pace.
Legend!!
-
Also the only professional cricketer to play professional baseball. He held the world record for the longest throwing arm at one point too, not sure if he still does. A man who knows his stuff by all accounts.

Didn't set ther world alight as a first class cricketer. Funny how alot of the best coaches have fairly average playing careers.
