I don't think there is any doubt about that. So it's not Ireland COULD but WILL in time with the right environment.

What Richard correctly refers to in his posts is having the right set of indicators and circumstances to develop world-class results through best-practices. This is entirely what leading coaching set-ups in Australia, England do.

The reality about working in Bangladesh is that you have to accept the circumstances and simply get on with your job. You cannot change that culture off the field and in the board room that foreign coaches complain about. It is not the Head Coach's role - it is that of the President and Cricket Operations to decide on what the infrastructure and environment must be.

Coaches like Richard are successful for two reasons:

1. They are good
2. They are committed

The clue is right there...
