Cricket - Moody Keen On England Coach Job
| DECIDE FOR YOURSELF Moody's existing contract with Sri Lanka runs out after the World Cup. His family are settled in Malvern, near Worcester, and the 41-year-old has already said he will not pursue the vacancy to coach Australia. Newton said: "My gut feeling is that Tom would be very, very interested in the England coaching job, if it became available. He has clearly turned around Sri Lanka's one-day fortunes and realistically they go into the World Cup with as good a chance as any team - apart from Australia - of winning the thing. Tom's had a huge influence on the mentality of the team and how they approach one-day cricket. He is a very good coach, particularly at working with talented players. He does not over-rely on computer stats and so on. He still very much believes in the basics of cricket but if there's a plan of action or a way of playing he'll want it done that way. He's also a very good man manager." Moody spent eight seasons as a Worcestershire player, and latterly captain, before stepping up to be director of cricket in 2001. In May 2005, he left to coach Sri Lanka. £500 FREE. For YOU to play with. NO deposit required. WON'T cost you a thing. Sounds TOO good to be true? DECIDE FOR YOURSELF |
