Wright to step down as New Zealand cricket coach | New Zealand coach John Wright will step down from his post following the upcoming tour of the West Indies. "I never really envisaged going through to the 2015
Cricket World Cup so the change has to be made at some stage. During the review
process with the current cricket director, we both agreed the planning systems
that he wants to implement don't complement the style and the way I coach, so
that was another factor. It's part of sport. I've enjoyed the opportunity to coach
the New Zealand cricket team,” stuff.co.nz quoted Wright, as saying. On being
asked to elaborate on the key differences between himself and Buchanan, Wright
said: "I think he's probably in a better position to do that. We're probably not
that different, we just see things a little differently. As I explained earlier,
the planning systems that John wants to implement are probably suited to another
head coach.” Wright described a question as "hypothetical" and irrelevant over
whether he would have stayed on as coach if Buchanan was the cricket’s director
the. "I've looked at it from my point of view, the way I coach and the values
and beliefs that I bring to the job. It's very important that I'm true to myself,”
he said. He said he had "mixed feelings" about departing, but there was no lingering
disappointment. "I've always been in an environment ... where you only look at
results, so I've always brought results to the table. When you're a national coach,
you're really coaching for the fans. I've had wonderful public support. "And then
you work very hard with the players so the public sees a team that fights for
them to bring the results they want. I hope we've made progress, and I think the
team will continue to make progress." He took over as coach at the end of 2010.
