Why?
There are some players who don't like him and some who really do, it will be interesting how it plays out,And who gets selected.

Interesting. A difficult personality or is he just a coach who has strict standards etc?

As a local level observation, they're often the best with the boys who have plenty of talent, but not a lot of focus.

Kind of slipping under the radar - this feels like it should be a bigger deal!

Not the most naturally talented but I can't think of another player who eked out all he could out of himself like Dan the Man.
Carried the team on his own for quite a long period of time. Quite literally the best bowler, best batsman as well as being the captain at one stage.
I always thought it was a shame his career didn't start and end ten years later so he could have been a part of that extraordinary team we had.
Richly deserved.

He's a Cantab. Cantabs engrained in the old boys network.
It's not what you know it's who you know. Look at Henry Nicolls If he were't a Cantab he wouldn't be anywhere near the team. -

I see we now have Ken Rutherford in charge at Northern Districts too.
Absolute journeyman in sports administration.

There is a merry-go-round with the Otago coaching spot. Former Aussie international Ash Noffke has left to be Mike Hesson's assistant with Pakistan.

The schedule for the 25-26 home summer has been released.
Facing OZ, England, West Indies and South Africa.
Disappointed we aren't playing more T20I's tbhJust 3 tests at home, 3...
-
Frankly, this sucks. Again. We are a total minnow.
Our mens cricket season is basically done before Christmas, except for a 5 T20 tour in bloody March.
ICC events and IPL have killed our summers. I hate it. All the good players are playing overseas during the good weather, and what we are getting is a shitload of money earning T20 games that I just can't get excited about.
-
Our best summer months of Jan and Feb are cricket-less for the men
16 T20I's is fucken ridiculous.Only good point worth mentioning is we do have one of the higher number of tests in the next WTC cycle with 16 in total. Clearly 90% of which must be overseas.
