The former head of New Zealand’s coach Bob Carter resigned from his role as a high -performance coach in New Zealand (NZC), bringing an almost 21 -year career in which he played a central role in the development of male and female national parties.
“I feel like I lived a dream,” Carter said in a statement by NZC. “I really liked to offer support and contribution, and if it helped players or teams to continue and achieve success, then it’s amazing – I’m pleased.” But I think what worked best in the NZC was combinations, teamwork and cooperation. ”
Carter was born in Norfolk and played 60 first -class and 55 reports for Northamptonshire and Canterbury before moving to coaching. First he joined the line -up of Men’s New Zealand in 2004 as an assistant coach John Bracewell and served for five years. He returned to the role from 2012 to 2014 under Mike Hesson, before Haidee Tiffen followed in 2019 as the head coach of women in New Zealand.
Carter led the white ferns to the T20 T20 Championship and at the ODI World Championship at home, and later withdrew, but continued its high -performance role based in Lincoln.
“We were able to create parties that were larger than the sum of their parts, and this is a key ingredient in team sport,” said Carter, who will continue to work in cricket as an independent supplier. “Sure, individual performance is important, but it’s a team that has more potential. This is where magic is.”
Carter, 65 years, leaves with New Zealand cricket in a strong position. Last year, the Women’s Team won their World Cup T20 Maiden T20, while the men’s party completed the Whitewash Historical Test series over India in India – the first team to do so since 2012.
“It is true that the game has developed a lot over the past 20 years,” Carter thought. “But the foundations and basics of tabting and bowling have never really changed.
“Certainly, the doughs play shots that we would not dream of in the 1990s, and the pitchers create possibilities and changes with an incredible degree of difficulty. But in everything, the framework that allows players to be carried out as successfully is still the same as it was 50 years ago.
“Our domestic cricket is very strong. I’m not sure if it’s widely recognized. The reason why the black hats continue to produce great doughs and pitchners is that we have a strong, basic home system. White ferns have been in the transition in the last few years, but the domestic competitions brought depression and invited them.”
