Rhino is new Aus bowling coach

Rhino's our new bowling coach

"Former Australia fast bowler Ryan Harris has been appointed Australia's bowling coach for the team's upcoming ODI tour of South Africa. He joins head coach Darren Lehmann and assistant coach David Saker in Australia's coaching staff.

Harris, who retired from cricket in July 2015, is currently assistant coach of the National Performance Squad in the A-team quadrangular series in Australia. He also served as the Under-19 Cricket Australia XI coach last season.

"It's great experience to learn from David Saker and Darren Lehmann," Harris said of the appointment. "I'm really just going to sit back and watch and learn.

"Eventually I'd like to work my way to the top and become a [full-time] bowling coach of the Australian team one day. Just like playing, you have to earn your stripes and learn the ropes." "

----------------------------------------------------------

I hope the Ledg is as successful as a coach as he was as a match winner for Aus.

Meanwhile, this tour is his first challenge...

Tue Sep 27 - Only ODI - Australia v Ireland, Willowmoore Park, Benoni
Fri Sep 30 - 1st ODI - South Africa v Australia, SuperSport Park, Centurion
Sun Oct 2 - 2nd ODI - South Africa v Australia, New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg
Wed Oct 5 - 3rd ODI - South Africa v Australia, Kingsmead, Durban
Sun Oct 9 - 4th ODI - South Africa v Australia, St George's Park, Port Elizabeth
Wed Oct 12 - 5th ODI - South Africa v Australia, Newlands, Cape Town

I think some of the boys will be well shagged out by the time the Aus summer starts.

Good man.

On another note

Harris said of the appointment. "I'm really just going to sit back and watch and learn.

Where can I get a job like that?

Retirement?

I'll put my hand up and admit that I still have a massive man crush on Rhino.

Good times:

"get him up here, I wanna boof 'im"

batted like Jaques Kallis too, just not as fat

And based on the comments hands aren't the only body parts going up in this thread.

I think we need more than a good batting coach. Some talent would help.

some guts and determination and patience would be even better

Every time previously he's been confronted with someone who might bowl slower than 100kph and who may get more than one sideways revolution on the ball he has been shithouse ...Why is there surprise at his performance?

Do you guys watch cricket or just look at stats and scorecards?

Back to the receipts, you.

He also looked pretty shithouse when I saw him batting at the Wanderers against Steyn.
