HEADLINE: Pybus rejoins CWI as new High-Performance Director

 
CaribbeanCricket.com 2018-02-08 12:30:47 

St John’s, ANTIGUA – Cricket West Indies (CWI) has appointed Richard Pybus as the High- Performance Director.

In this new role, Pybus will work alongside the Chairman of Selectors and all the technical coaches in the region to improve the high performance programmes and standards within franchise cricket. His role will also include, but not limited to standardizing coaching and preparation for regional teams and overseeing a talent identification programme from the Under-19 level all the way to the WINDIES International level.

Pybus’ record with high performance programmes is well established. He is the most successful South African franchise coach of all time having won nine championships across all formats. The two-time South African coach of the year was part of a system that developed the likes of current South African, Captain Faf du Plessis, Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel and A.B de Villiers.

The High-Performance programme aims to support the continued development of CWI regional franchise cricket and put systems in place to close the gap between regional franchise cricket and International cricket.

Richard Pybus said: “I am delighted to be re-joining Cricket West Indies in this newly created role. I am looking forward to working with Jimmy Adams and the rest of the cricket department to improve standards within a system that I know well. My focus will be on developing our high performance programmes and helping to identify and coach the most talented cricketers in the Caribbean.”

Pybus’ appointment is for an initial term of two years.

Pybus previously served as CWI Director of Cricket from October 2013 to December 2016, overseeing WINDIES victories in two ICC World T20s, an ICC Women’s World T20 and an ICC U-19 World Cup. Along with International Head Coach roles with Pakistan and Bangladesh, Pybus coached extensively in South Africa for Border, Titans and Cape Cobras, as well as Middlesex CCC in England, at domestic cricket level. He will be based at the CWI Headquarters in Antigua.

One thing can be sure is that we're certainly not looking for fresh ideas.

Big loud stewps. Tricky Dick left the Director of Cricket post to pursue head coaching jobs. When that endeavor failed he comes crawling back to CWI begging wuk and CWI takes him back??? Wuh di rass!!!

Irony of all ironies. This is the same forker who closed the High Performance Center in Barbados. Now he is being brought back as High Performance Director to resurrect something he killed off? You can't make this shit up!!!

And isn't Tricky Dick being hired to do something that Jimmy Adams is supposed to be doing already?? rolleyes rolleyes rolleyes rolleyes rolleyes rolleyes

If Pybus was any good he would have been part of the English setup long ago ...

Wow. He seemed to be behind a lot of the animosity between the seniors and the board as well.
This is a very strange one

My question is what is Jimmy Adams role and what is he doing if this guy is the director of ----?

RIP Cricket West Indies. Pollard, Little Bravo, Big Bravo, Narine et al can kiss goodbye to any return to West Indies Cricket. Dave Cameron has his buddy back. The End (in every sense of the word).

Yes, it is rumoured that Pybus was the person that influenced K Powell to take a break from WI cricket a few years ago.

He had major issues with the Bravo brothers and almost single handedly drove Sammy and Big Bravo out - i sense a pattern.

Why is it that Dave Cameron is never happy employing an individual who can relate and has synergy with the players (ie Jimmy Adams / Phil Simmons). Both should have remained where they were appreciated (Kent/Ireland).

Will soon claim personal reasons and leave.

Pybus is back to finish the job making sure CWI is regulated to minnow status.

Yes even if there was a glimmer of hope when Adams and Johnny Graves came in (and they did try to make in-roads with the players), it is flushed down the toilet now that Kim Jong-Un II has returned to destroy our cricket and alienate the players completely.

Agree re Adams. He has been too silent of late.

TheTrail 2018-02-08 17:33:48 

Is this the same Richard Pybus who told Keiron Powell to submit a reason why he did not report to him about his personal problems - otherwise he won,t be selected to the senior team again?

 
Judgement 2018-02-08 18:02:40 

In reply to TheTrail

Also the same Pybus who tried to coerce Big Bravo to sign a legal document before they would provide Bravo and the others flights out of India to go home following the contract walk-out fiasco (the ones who refused to sign ended up paying for their own return flights). Communist Dictator and his threats are back!

Yup, it's going to be interesting how he handles that.

He is the first guy who got canned by lemonade Dave and returns to the fold as though it is business as usual. I wonder what he has on Dave. : lol:

Usually, when you canned someone, that is it - but it seems this guy has many lives.

From what i know, Dirty D and the Communist Dictator are administration best buddies (and bullies) so its no surprise he's back actually. Poor Lil Bravo, should have taken his opportunity when it was just Dirty D he had to deal with.
