Melbourne, Aug 19 (IANS): Former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie has been named as the head coach of South Australia cricket team. Gillespie takes … Former Test paceman and South Australia great Jason Gillespie has been appointed coach of his home state. "Keith Bradshaw, the SACA chief executive, said: "The South Australian men's head coaching role is the most important in South Australian cricket, and we know that Jason is the right person to invigorate our program and push it forward. "This is one of the reasons we are delighted to have Jason on board. "As coach of the Strikers since 2015, when he brokered a deal that allowed him to coach Yorkshire in England, Gillespie has overseen much the more successful of the two programs, winning the BBL in 2018 and also making the tournament finals on two other occasions, including last season when they finished third on the table.Over the same period, the Redbacks have seen results decline alarmingly from a position where, coached by Gillespie's former state captain Faced with such a marked decline, also pockmarked by problems at high performance pathway and grade cricket levels, the SACA Board called in Hussey to lead a review of the organisation's elite cricket program, resulting in a document that articulated many long-standing troubles in the state.Hussey's calls for a balance "between people who know the SA way and people from outside the state who have worked in successful programmes" and also the merging of the Redbacks and Strikers organisations seemed to draw a pretty clear circle around the appointment of Gillespie to the wider role, after his success with Yorkshire and then the Strikers. There will have to be an element of letting go of the past and focusing on the future. Gillespie takes the spot left vacant by Jamie Siddons last season. "We acknowledge that Jason will be in England until October as he is committed to his role with Sussex until the end of their season," said Bradshaw. The South Australian Cricket … “The chance to work with the … "Team SACA is something I'm very much looking forward to being a part of," he added.Gillespie is one of South Australia's most prolific bowlers with 54 Sheffield Shield matches and 71 Tests to his name. "As one of the smaller populated states, depth is always tested and as a result SA will regularly need to 'punch above its weight'," Hussey wrote. Melbourne, Aug 19 (IANS) Former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie has been named as the head coach of South Australia cricket team. "The chance to work with the players, coaches and off field team at the SACA is very exciting. "For this to happen, the SACA will need to think and act differently in some areas of its cricket high performance. The South Australia cricket team, named West End Redbacks, nicknamed the ’Southern Redbacks’, is an Australian men's professional first class cricket team based in Adelaide, South Australia.The Redbacks play their home matches at Adelaide Oval and are the state cricket team for South Australia, representing the state in the Sheffield Shield competition and the limited overs Marsh One-Day Cup. It is considered to have lasted from the 1897–98 English tour of Australia and the 1910–11 South African tour of Australia. It now appears that responsibility for improving the state's results and also its production line of international players will now rest with Gillespie, the pace bowling spearhead of that team, who was himself mentored by the 1996 Shield-winning coach, Jeff Hammond. "I'm deeply honoured to be afforded the opportunity to coach the South Australian cricket team," Gillespie said. He is a proud South Australian with a phenomenal coaching resume behind him, we have seen how he has worked with the Strikers, leading them to their first title, and I know Jason will give it his all to steer the Redbacks in the right direction.
Unfortunately, a strong view from the people interviewed is that South Australian cricket has had a culture of mediocrity for many years and acceptance of it has been a barrier to success.
