(TheSportsNext) August 24, 2012: The New Zealand Cricket (NZC) board and
the national director of cricket, John Buchanan had expressed an interest in
having separate coaches for separate formats of the game.
Interestingly, he may not have given this idea during his
tenure as coach in Australia.
It was also reported that Rixon was interested in taking
over the head coaching job of the Australian cricket team when John Buchanan
left at the end of the 2006/07 Ashes series.
Now Rixon is here coaching the Australian team for the ODI
component of the team’s VB Tour of the UAE and the regular coach, Micky Arthur
has stayed back and is preparing for the remaining part of the series.
"I can’t recall coaching duties being split this way
before the Argus Report which, by coincidence, was tabled a year ago
today", Peter Young, Cricket Australia's General Manager said from
Melbourne..
"That report recommended that the old national coaching
role be expanded to effectively become the head coach of Australian cricket –
not just coach of the Australian men’s team".
"As such, the Argus report recommended that the
national coach not coach every single game as time would require him to also
attend to other duties across Australian cricket", he signed off.
