John Wright's new book, An Indian Summer, goes on sale today. According to the Press this book states that Wrighty applied for the New Zealand coaching job in 1999 and was left angry by New Zealand Cricket's selection processes.
Let's hope New Zealand Cricket doesn't repeat its earlier mistakes. John Bracewell's reign ends in April and nabbing someone like John Wright to replace him should be at the very top of Martin Snedden's list of priorities.

I'm looking forward to this book - should be a fantastic insight into the Indian team's workings and background politics.
And yes, Braces needs to go and soon. Under him NZ have marginally improved in the one day game (although how much of it is due to him - and how much is due to the emergence of guys like Bond and McCullum, who're just phenomenally talented?), and gone several steps back in tests. Bring on a real coach, rather than a guy whose main claim to fame lay with a county side nicknamed "Onedayshire"!
