Tim Neilsen Quits!​

​

Today in some shocking news for Cricket Australia, Tim Neilsen has annouced he is quitting as the head coach of the Australia Cricket Team. Neilsen has recently been in the firing line after Australia has suffered some big losses and its new rotation policy has been put to the sword, with it being blamed as the cause for many of there recent losses.
At this time we do not know who the new coach will be, but with a test series just a few weeks away, expect a decision in the coming days.​

​

Today Cricket Australia have shocked the nation, in announcing Stephan Coniglio as the new coach for the country. Coniglio, 22 is a former Australian Rules Footballer who ruptured his acl in his 2nd season, before taking time away from Football and returning to West Australia, to help in coaching the state side. Coniglio was a talented cricketer himself as a junior so he certainly has the passion for this job.
In an interview today, Coniglio has announced that Australia will be looking to take a youngish side the West Indies to test the depth of Australian Cricket. This may also be taken as the rebuilding of Australian Cricket and will hopefully have them as the world beaters they once were!

With little experience in the Australians first test squad coming up to take on the West Indies, these players have a lot to prove, not only to prove they are good enough for test cricket, but to new coach Stephan Coniglio.​
