Hall of Famer
After playing for Leicestershire in 2010 and 2011, I, Andrew McDonald was remarkably made Coach of Leicestershire county cricket team*, whilst still playing for the South Australian cricket team. I have decided, before the 2014 season begins, that I will announce my playing retirement immediately to focus of coaching the Leicestershire cricket team. I came to this decision upon realising the possible pathways this creates as I head into my mid 30's, personal doubt I'm beginning to have in my body and of course, because I love the club ($$$.)
Admittedly, the last decade and a half hasn't been memorable for the club, with no silverware and no wins for the past two years. Heck, history hasn't been kind to this club, let's have a look at the trophy cabinet.
County Championship (3) – 1975, 1996, 1998
Runners-Up (2) – 1982, 1994
Sunday/National League (2) – 1974, 1977
Runners-up: 1972, 2001
It's time for a change in fortunes. And once I have changed those fortunes, who knows what the future may hold? Silverware? International management for Australia? It's a distant dream right now, but with my playing career over, my managerial journey begins here. First step, win some division two matches.

PLEASE NOTE: I'm playing this on my phone, so I can't post screenshots. The reason I'm playing it on my phone is that through doing it this way, this career can hopefully last a long time and keep people interested. It's also much quicker and easier.
