Wright, the right man for Australia

In the Sydney Morning Herald, Peter Roebuck says John Wright would be the best man to coach Australia and the fact that he is from New Zealand should not prevent him from getting the role.

Wright has coached New Zealand and India with considerable success. Wright handled India well and they rose steadily on his watch. Some regarded him as indulgent towards the older players but the strong don't need to bang a drum and, anyhow, sometimes it is wise to let the players get on with it. Like most openers worth their salt, Wright adjusts his game to meet varying conditions.
