What about Steads "pre-planned break" for this series? Wild.
Pretty typical for most leaders to plan their breaks to coincide with major competitions, I mean, there really is no other opportunity this year for him to head to the caravan park and relax with the fam.
My immediate thoughts too.
I do wonder if there were any outside commitments like a relative's wedding or something.
Otherwise it seems weird.

@booboo apparently is was "pre-planned", seriously. Wtf do they take the common fan for???
So bad.
My point was is there a reason from outside hi control that it was pre-planned?
If there is, share. If not ... I'm gobsmacked. So can only assume there is.
-
@booboo right, got it. I'm only back for a couple of days, haven't seen the news here in years. What got me was how matter of fact/run of the mill the excuse was that they rolled out, like it would be swallowed up by us all at face value. Just bizarre.

"No, this has always been pre-planned," Jurgensen said.
"So I've been planning for it for a while to look after this series.
"It's been happening throughout the summer, I've had breaks, other coaches have had a break to freshen up and get ready for the other challenges ahead after this series."
This is still not optimal IMO. The boss takes time off in the busiest time of the year? Bizarre in any organisation. Ridiculous in one one performing so terribly at the moment.

Pre-planned. After we lose 8 in a row we stick to the plan huh?
There'll be some sound bites again soon about how important it is to be " flexible" in your plans as a " coaching unit"
Staggering how much confidence in this team I've lost in less than 6 weeks!

Again, my point.
You don't plan a holiday during the middle of a home tour by fucking INDIA!!
So if there is a legit reason for said break then tell us. If there is I'll buy it.
Otherwise it's complete crap.

Coney agrees.
It's just weird. Who comes up with - and authorizes this plan?
Seems like the brains at NZ Cricket departed when Hesson left the building.
-
Think we're really starting to see just how good a coach Hess was. Stead rode on his coattails for a while but now things are getting tough he's looking more and more out of his depth at this level.

I'm inclined to think all of the incoming are likely to be upgrades except obviously not Chapman for Kane.
Jamieson is untried, but I'm interested to see how he goes. He might not be an upgrade on Tickner, but probably won't be much of a downgrade - if at all.

I can answer my own question:
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12305835Kane still out, as are Boult and Ferg. Neesh is back.
