It was announced this week that Matthew Mott would leave his long-standing role with the national women's side to take charge of England's men's white-ball prospects.
During an international career that spanned from 2004 to 2011, Nitschke represented Australia at four World Cups and won trophies in both the 50-over and T20 formats.Nitschke was named the ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year in 2010 and won the Belinda Clark Award as Australia's best women's cricketer four years in a row, from 2009 through to 2012.Nitschke said she was overjoyed by the opportunity.
Mott's legacy leaves some huge shoes for Nitschke to fill in the coming months, after the team achieved a world record winning streak in ODI cricket , clinched three World Cup titles, and have had a tight hold on the Women's Ashes trophy under his tenure. "You won't be seeing any shake-ups, it's more of an element of 'if it's not broke, don't fix it', and I think one of the huge successes of this team is the way the playing group drives their values.
"To be over there with other athletes and Australian teams is something really new to us, and the group is really excited about it, we can't wait."Mott is not only well-respected in the cricket community, but is well-liked for his happy-go-lucky personality, with his laid-back and warm approach as a coach.
"Even when you look at her playing record, she was so good back in her day … she didn't win all the Belinda Clarks and ICC medals for no reason."
The lazy way.
That's a very philosophical approach. 😃
