Klusener turns down Bangladesh coaching role:(

[Gunner_Mania]

Lance Klusener, the former South African allrounder, could be appointed Bangladesh's bowling coach, filling the vacancy that arose because Champaka Ramanayake, a former Sri Lankan fast bowler, quit the job due to illness. If Klusener is appointed, it will be his first international coaching job after having completed a level-three coaching course at Cricket South Africa's High Performance Centre in Pretoria. "I'm in negotiations with them [bangladesh Cricket Board], it's not finalised yet," Klusener told Cricinfo. "There are a couple of things that need clarification, I hope to have it finalised in the next week."

Klusener was a better batsman than a bowler. But Bangladesh has obviously seen something in Klusener that none of us has, at the moment.

He was originally a bowler but injuries forced him to hone his batting and he's been a better batsman than a bowler, don't you know? I rate him as a batsman and pretty high at that. He's the player Irfan could've become. He still can.

Seems like Sanga and SLC have a few questions they wouldn't like to answer.

Klusener turns down Bangladesh coaching role:( http://www.cricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/story/475554.html Klusener turns down Bangladesh coaching role Lance Klusener, the former South Africa allrounder, has finally turned down the offer to take over as Bangladesh's bowling coach, ending a prolonged period of speculation over his possible appointment. Klusener, who was in discussions to replace Sri Lanka's Champaka Ramanayake, was reportedly unable to convince his wife about a permanent move to Bangladesh. BCB had tried to be flexible with Klusener's demands to return home between series. "We are ready to fulfill all his demands," BCB spokesman Jalal Yunus said. "He wanted some additional facilities and we agreed. We were also ready to allow him to go on a long leave between the twin home series against New Zealand and Zimbabwe and the World Cup." However, the board was not open to the idea of having him on a strictly tour-by-tour basis. Klusener, who has a level-three coaching degree, was in the frame following Ramanayake's resignation due to illness. "He put us in a serious trouble as we are now facing a race against time to appoint a bowling coach for the Tigers," Yunus said. "We don't have too many options now. "England's Andy Caddick was an option but he has a business interest at home. We had also contacted Venkatesh Prasad, but he is also unlikely to come as he has a chance of joining the Asian Cricket Council as a development coach." Colin Croft , the former West Indies fast bowler, had expressed interest in the role but was rejected for a lack of coaching experience. Meanwhile the board appointed sports psychologist Soumendra Saha as a consultant for the side. Saha who joined the squad's training camp in Mirpur, will work closely with the players for three weeks before returning to his teaching job with a university in Malaysia. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :hysterical: no one wants to be Bang's Bowling Coach.... why do you think that is... the lack in standard of living in Bangladesh maybe? :sherlock:
