Good article on Mickey Arthur

This is an excellent article on Mickey Arthur and confirms what I have suspected, that he has reassessed his style for county cricket, having previously approached it as he has done international roles.

My gut feeling is that there have been lengthy chats with Tom Poynton, the 'cricket man' on the Board and someone whose recent experience of the county game will have been of considerable value to him. Perhaps Ben Smith, experienced as a domestic coach both here and in New Zealand, will have had input too. 

But it is encouraging, with all that is going on at the club, that Mickey has reaffirmed his desire to be at Derbyshire.

'I'm here until the club say to me, 'not any more'. That is how hellbent I am on achieving success' he said.

Good to see, as we approach the Blast!

  1. An interesting article. Mickey has re evaluated the way he approaches the job.
    Well, the changes appear to
    be working at the moment.
    He could yet be a Derbyshire hero.
    Time will tell.

  2. Really interested to read him talk about re-evaluating and changing the way he coaches - not all coaches of his age and experience would take that approach
