Breaking News: Shane Jurgensen our Head Coach for next 1 year

Murad · #1 February 9, 2013, 07:15 AM

Shane Jurgensen, who has been Bangladesh's interim coach over the past few months, has been given the role full-time for the next year. The decision was taken at a BCB cricket operations committee meeting, and his appointment will be formalised once the Bangladesh board approves it.

Don't know if I should be glad or not. But I am earnestly looking for someone with great passion for our cricket.

simon · #3 February 9, 2013, 07:23 AM

atleast this guy wont have family issues & leave.

Naimul_Hd · #4 February 9, 2013, 07:23 AM

Expected one !

I don't think even 1 year enough for BCB to find a permanent HC.

Pls hire a decent batting caoch now. And keep Saqlain Musthaque

Good move. He is much settled in the country compared to other coaches who came recently. Only Siddons came close at latter stage of his Bangladesh stint.

I will echo with nadim about hiring a batting coach.

This is probably due to Indian current coach's contract won't be renewed and they are/will be in hunt for good coach. Which is why BCB didn't get any good response from their coach hunting ads. To top is off, recent batches of decent coaches left BD (and non-payment of BPL players) doesn't make bangladesh or BCB a very attractive place to work.

Remember the last two coaches who left (due to whatever reasons) didn't have anything good to say about BCB. And BCB with its true nature didn't handle the situation very well. If I was an half-decent international coach I wouldn't work for BCB right now.

Shane Jurgensen is an obvious choice because he is here and he did a good job so far.

I personally would love to have Ian Pont as a coach, but I don't see that happening because Ian, while a good coach, has a habit of talking too much about too many things. While its a good thing for the supporters, no Cricket Board will like coaches being the highlight of the team. One of the habits of good and stable coaches is there ability to work in background.

Good Luck Shane.

He can? Last 2 year e to ta dekhlam na. Ekta pacer ke o improve korte parenai.

simon · #11 February 9, 2013, 07:53 AM

batting coach shouldn't be the concern, we got way too many candidates for that

we need a good pace bowling coach, Jogashon diya hoy nai, hobeo na

jeesh · #12 February 9, 2013, 08:05 AM

If we can retain Saqlain Mushtaq, add Aminul Islam then we will have a decent setup. The efforts of Jason Swift as fielding coach hasnt exactly been up there, dont mind Salahuddin in that role given his excellent relationship with players.

Tiger444 · #13 February 9, 2013, 08:24 AM

Congrats to Coach Jurgenson for the job. A good decision in the end. Just not enough quality coaches out there that are interested in us. So that made the job a whole lot easier. As long as he has passion and is willing to work in Bangladesh for a long time, then I believe he'll do a great job. Good luck to him and wish him all the best

Not all the blame should go on coach Shane. 1 BC member here said that he watched Shane putting markers down and having I believe Abul and Rubel bowl and those spots, they ended up struggling even doing that. If they can't hit spots regularly even in practice then how do we expect them to do it regularly in games? Bottom line is we need to have a pacer academy or have a quality pace bowling coach at the Academy working with young bowlers. We can't expect our players to come in to the national team and be taught basics. That should be done at the developmental level. Look how India and SL have a well organized plan for pacers. Even then they have issues. Obviously we'll struggle with nothing in place.

ankur86 · #15 February 9, 2013, 10:26 AM

Wasim akram or saurav ganguly could be a better coach. they understand our mentality and culture.

raad007 · #16 February 9, 2013, 10:32 AM

Looks like Saqlain is coming back. Good for our spinners.

Tiger Manc · #17 February 9, 2013, 11:51 AM

All the best coach. We need to retain Saqlain and hire a batting coach.

al Furqaan · #18 February 9, 2013, 12:41 PM

I think its the best possible move. No one else wants to stay, and the BCB is to blame for that most likely. You don't always need a big name coach, costs money, and team doesn't perform. So why not hire a guy who actually gets results like SJ?

In just one full series in charge he can boast of highest Test total ever and ODI series win against top notch opposition including a must-win game. He has proved that he's capable.

Best wishes to SJ, and I see him being more successful than most of his predecessors.

Max100 · #19 February 9, 2013, 01:40 PM

best of luck SJ. we dont need high profile coach, we need some one who will spend most time with our player and know them well and work based on that.

no indian or pak coach.

when ganguly was captain for IPL team--- he made sure, under his captaincy, mash or tamim get no game / no chance to prove themselves

MohammedC · #21 February 9, 2013, 01:50 PM

NTV news: BCB will advertise for the assistant coach's position even though they wanted someone from Bangladesh preferably either Bulbul or Shujan. But they want to make sure they apply for the position and whomever sends the best CV will get the job.

Yunus said they are also in talks with an Australian and an Englishman for the posts of batting coach and fielding coach respectively, though he refused to name them.
‘At the moment we are trying to confirm their appointment before the Sri Lanka tour. But for some reasons I cannot disclose their names,’ said Yunus.
The BCB official added that former Pakistani spinner Saqlain Mushtaq may also return to the coaching staff provided he agrees to the schedule.
‘Saqlain told us he will be available for a maximum of 100 days in a year. We are now trying to sort out when we actually need his services. If everything goes according to plan, he can also join us,’ said Yunus.

All the best, SJ!
