Default Appoint Shane Jurgensen as Head Coach


Shane Jurgensen



Shane seems know how to motivate our players very well. According to Mashrafee, Shane cares the players very much, thus, very popular amongst the players as well.

We have seen a few coaches who left the Tigers simply for money and other reasons, didn't care about their unfinished task or gave a damn about the Tigers (of course there is exception, i.e., Jamie). Thus, no point appointing a high profile coach as he might have other preferences over Tigers and does a "Pybus" job!

Now that we all know Shane has a keen interests and passions for our cricket, let's propose BCB to make Shane as our head coach.

By appointing Shen as head coach, Bangladesh could be a winner in different ways:

> As Tigers are known mentally vulnerable, here comes Shane's motivating factor
> He has passion for BD cricket, thus, would/might sacrifice personal interests
> BCB can save a lot of dollars compare to a high profile (useless) coach
> Tigers will get a long time year round coach who will be there to help

The money BCB will save by appointing Shane, appoint Saqlain as a permanent spin bowling coach, along with a batting coach who is technically solid, possess modern cricket knowledge yet has passions for Bangladesh cricket.

And, of course, establish a pace bowling academy and appoint Ian Pont as coach there.

I would rather give the role to ICEMAN! He has all of the above qualities plus more.
On a serious note, give it to Dada or Akram. Dada might have an ego problem, but surely he is a lot smarter than the entire BD team management combined.

Well, I see it a bit different way!

We need a coach who could make the connection/communication between him and our players easily while in many occasions a high profile coach fails to do so.

He rather looks promising as a TV commentator!

Actually I like the idea as long as they save money in HC, and spend money to get good specialized coaches.

I kind of agree with KP bhai. Shane must not be very high profile but he possesses the ability to motivate the players.

And about making Dada the head coach? Now I dont know whether to laugh or cry. He talks a lot without much sense like many others.

Starting to believe in SJ. Well said kalpurush. This motivation, team spirit was missing during our Europe tour, and Sri Lanka under Richard Pybus.

Not sure the quality of our bowlers have improved under SJ, but the tigers are at least playing with a plan, some intent and fighting spirit. Confidence and the will to win is there. To some extent this is job of a head coach. He's been with our players for nearly 2 years, knows the system and is very down to earth. Appoint him as headcoach, make Saqlain permanent, and bring in a batting coach.

Also development must be done at HP Academy and Under 19, we shouldnt continue to rely on head coaches to teach basics and ABCD's. We have a brilliant coach in RM in HP. Now we need a very good Under 19 coach to complete the backroom team.

I support this motion wholeheartedly. I've been saying throughout that Shane is the right man for the job. His typically hands-off approach, albeit faulty on the surface, has been working. He needs time, along with Saqlain as spin bowling coach, to help the players gel together and fight the enemy as a unit. This year, we've seen the Asia Cup and we've seen the WI ODIs. In both cases, he has been one of the common factors in the coaching staff, which does prove his worth as the man doing most of the work behind the scenes.

Since he will be in charge of the pace bowling in addition to his HC responsibilities and Saqlain will take care of the spinners, I don't think it makes sense for someone like, say, Ian Pont to take up the bowling coach role. But given his love for Bangladesh and her cricket, it will be a pity if we don't utilize his services. As a level 3 coach, I'm sure he'll fit in fine as the assistant/batting coach, reporting to Shane (who has already had HC experience with a Test side), working his way up to the HC position gradually (although by the time Shane retires, it will likely be between him and Saqlain).

I think Neil D'Costa is a worthy batting coach. I really think BCB should try to get him to work with the national team for a couple of months. He would really rectify Anamuls problem with foot movement. He is the man who moulded Michael Clarke to what he is today.

I won't change my mind even if we win the series. What is his contribution? He is supposed to be a bowling coach, but where is the improvement in our pacers? Their performance is free falling like Dhaka share market and the improvement that we see in the spinners can be attributed to Saqlain.
If being lovey dovey with our players can get him the HC role, so be it. However, I cannot really see what new he brings to the table. We need a HC who has passion for BD cricket but at the same time can be tough on the players when necessary. Now, if we can get someone like that or not is upto BCB.

Agreed. Would support SJ as the HC. No need to go through the headache of finding high profile coaches , usually who tend to have other reasons for taking up the job.

What i have seen in WI series, the team has intent to win and not giving up easily. These factors will see through our team to become a powerhouse one day. Of course, it is just the beginning.

Keep him and make Saqlain permanent. And look for good, specialized batting coach.

Not much contribution as a bowling coach like you said. But the players seem to do well under him, more motivated, more confident. You could see the same effect during Asia Cup where SJ was an integral part of the coaching staff. Sometimes this is the best thing a head coach could bring to the table. The late Eddie Barlow was loved by players, administrators not because he brought in more technical competence than Greenidge or Whatmore. What separated him from the rest was his ability to instill self confidence, belief. He was a terrific motivator. What works best-a motivator or a task master? Very debatable, and hard to pintpoint the correct recipe for success. Whatever SJ is doing seems to be working and was evident in the tests and first 3 ODI's. Yes we have made the same old mistakes, but gradually with experience we should be able to overcome these.

Another thing to keep in mind. National team isnt the place to learn the basics. It should be more about tactics, match preparation etc. If we expect NT coaches to do the whole cricketing education we will always end up dissapointed. Thats why we have the A Team, HP and Under 19. We would be much better off with tougher coaches in these setups, so that the players which filter through to the NT are well groomed and disciplined. At the moment we have the perfect person in RM

Perhaps you are right, but I think the recent good performance in ODIs at home happened because of the overall improvement in our batting and spin department. Jurgensen is just at the right place at the right time and now being credited for our good performance.

Not long ago, we were asking for his head. Two matches under our belt and a motion to make him our permanent HC?

Let's not forget that he is first and foremost our bowling coach and should be scrutinized under that aspect as well. I will have him on for another couple of series as an interim HC and then decide.

This kinda sums up the thread.

It is quite ridiculous to judge ANY head coach on results when they are inheriting a set up someone else implemented, good or bad. Law took a wait and see approach, Pybus didn't even wipe his face. The only person who has got to grips with the players has been Jamie Siddons in his 4 year stay. And when it came to it, Jamie Siddons lost his job because the 58 and 78 were too much to take as he was batting coach. The batsmen were just not improving.

I can tell you as a support coach that you have a huge role to play in your specialised department and any coach should be judged on this, as Jamie was.

Shane's time as bowling coach has been terribly disappointing. Even he would acknowledge that. Shane was also in charge of NZ bowling when they lost 4-0 on BD. In the past two seasons the BD pace attack, instead of getting better and being made secure, has just dropped away. In the national team he has virtually no one left to work with.

I like Shane as a bloke. Very nice guy. I can understand why he might be popular with the players as he most likely let's them do what they wish and is probably not allowed to change anything. It would be good to see in 6 months time if has been able to make a difference as interim HC and then assess if he is someone who can be a leader. I suspect Shane isn't leading, though, at this time as he won't have normal HC powers.
