Not exactly leaving Sussex in a better place than he found it is he? I wish him well in his future endeavours. With the greatest of respect that is not Mike Yardy's fault. The reality is our batsmen need to improve or from October they will be on the minimum wage flipping burgers in McDonalds. Do this group of Sussex players have the hunger, desire or passion to succeed? I am seeing repeatedly weak dismissal and the same mode of dismissal. I don't mind players making mistakes as long as they learn from them and improve from them. I want to see them putting in the hard yards. There should be double training, seven days a week, 365 days a year until results improve. Don't reward failing players with days off. #realitycheck
Yardy wasn't the best batsman, far from it, but he worked his arse off to try and improve his game and became a Sussex legend as a result. Salt, Wells, Haines, Finch and Rawlins could do a lot worse than follow Yardy's work ethic in their attempt to successfully make it as a professional cricketer.
Yardy will now be coaching Dave Warner, Steve Smith, Moses Henriques, Daniel Hughes, Nick Larkin, Kurtis Patterson plus youngsters like Jason Sangha, Jack Edwards, Nick Bertus, Ryan Gibson, Param Uppal, Ryan Hackney and Ollie Davies.

It’s interesting that we have had several members of our coaching staff, that command respect from elsewhere, Dizzy himself, Jon Lewis, Hoppo and now Michael Yardy, all highly thought of, and yet Sussex still languish in the second tier. What are we continuing to do wrong?

More interesting is the fact that Yardy, Hoppo and Lewis have all left Sussex, like rats abandoning a sinking ship.

Maybe they could do no more with the material provided It’s alright cutting cloth accordingly, but what they’ve been given to work with, in playing terms, is pretty dire A lack of investment in the squad has seen us sink like a stone, and with no sign of the austerity easing, who can blame them |

Given the choice of tirelessly trying to get blood out of a stone or pastures new and more dollar, I know what I’d choose to do. Just another example of the complacency of the management. But don’t worry we’ve got some lovely plans for another redevelopment of the ground and a Rod Stewart concert to look forward to. |

This news has all kinds of implications. The timing is a coincidence, surely? Just when the top order batting is, yet again, experiencing a crisis, he leaves for Australia. Was there an understanding at the Club that it was time for pastures anew, although for Yards, this certainly appears greener. While I have nothing but respect for him and what he achieved at Sussex, in my view, Yardy's departure is a very positive one. This allows Gillespie to choose his own batting coach and one from Australia, hopefully, who understands the importance of a tough mental approach to playing that can be instilled into our players. A new energy should do wonders for our top order who, at present, are woefully under- performing. One also suspects, Yardy has gained his job via one of Gillespie's many contacts. So, there may well have been an understanding between the two. It just required finding a new job elsewhere to offer Yardy to make the departure as friendly and diplomatic as possible. Mike Yardy is one of the last "jobs for the boys" energy to depart the Club, where only Keith Greenfield survives. I welcome the Yardy move while wishing him every success in his new job. After all his past problems this is a definitive next step in his career, where one presumes his family will move with him? In today's professional sport, managers, coaches etc.. have their period of time at a Club and certainly for Yardy his time was up at Sussex. It is interesting looking at the Women's England cricket team to see how Mark Robinson's time, after all his initial success, appears up too. sussexcricket.co.uk/news/mike-yardy-leave-sussex-new-coaching-role |

I have spent the last 30 minutes doing some digging re: Mike Yardy's appointment at NSW. First, the New South Wales 'Blues' team represent NSW in the Sheffield Shield and the JLT One-Day Cup competitions. They have a strong team where the bowlers outweigh the batters for fame and recognition. The batters include up and coming Aussie teenage stars Jack Edwards and Jason Sangha. www.cricketnsw.com.au/teams/nsw-bluesen.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_South_Wales_cricket_teamThe Club's Press Release on Yardy's appointment reads, 'Former England One-Day International all-rounder Mike Yardy is the new batting coach of the NSW Blues. The 38-year-old replaces Beau Casson in the role after the former Australian Test and Blues player decided to return to Western Australia at the end of last season for family reasons.' It goes on to say, 'Since September last year, (Apart from Sussex) Yardy has been the batting coach for the England Young Lions, adding to his vast coaching experience that includes a support role with the England national team in August 2018. Cricket NSW General Manager, Cricket Performance, David Moore believes it is that experience which will assist the development of the younger players'. "We’ve got seven or eight really good players under the age of 21 at the moment that we think are going to be good players and we think Mike is going to be able to add his experience, not just technically and tactically, but really how he thinks about the game, how he devises his innings,” said Moore. “He’s coached at Premier League level in the UK, he’s coached Academy level, he’s coached at second XI level and he’s also been involved with the Sussex first XI, so we’re very lucky that we’ve got someone of such experience and development. We’re obviously looking for Mike to come in and fit into the team beautifully, which we’re sure he will and … to assist in the development of players that are going to play for Australia and help us win Shield titles.”' www.cricketnsw.com.au/news/michael-yardy-england-sussex-cricket-nsw-blues-odi-t20-batting-coach/2019-07-09en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Moore_(cricket_coach)PS: Jason Gillespie was born in New South Wales in Darlinghurst, Sydney and played for South Australia. Their former T20 side 'The Redbacks' was succeded by the 'Adelaide Strikers' whom Gillespie coaches. |

An odd appointment. Has Yardy got a good record as batting coach? If so, where is it? I've looked all over Sussex and I can't find it. Is it in the same place as Greenfield's record?

Their former T20 side 'The Redbacks' was succeded by the 'Adelaide Strikers' whom Gillespie coaches. Dan Hughes and Nick Larkin forged a successful opening partnership, Patterson had a strong season at 3 which deservedly culminated in him being called up for Australia, Henriques was productive with the bat at 4, Nevill kept wicket and batted at 6 with the youngsters Sangha and Edwards at 5 and 7. With Smith and Warner returning Sangha and Edwards chances maybe reduced.
7/8 batsmen under the age of 21? I make it only 5 batsmen and 9 overall so I'm not quite sure who Moore he referring to. They have a spinner (Fallins) and seamer (Hatcher) aged 22. What has happened to Steve Waugh's son Austin? Edwards and Sangha are the pick of this group.
