Bond to quit as NZ bowling coach after World Cup - myballfield - 01-09-2015
Former New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond will quit as the national team's bowling coach at the end of the 2015 World Cup. Lindsay Crocker, NZC's head of cricket, said Bond had not wanted the extension offered to him.
"Make no bones about this - we're very disappointed to be losing Shane," Crocker said. "He's given great value to the Blackcaps programme and we were hopeful of having the benefit of his input over the next few seasons. However, we respect his decision and his reasons for making that decision, and wish him well in his endeavours post-world cup."
Bond took up the role of New Zealand bowling coach in October 2012, two years after ending a promising career that was blighted by a spate of injuries.

Yup its true, he is a great bowler. I guess he is putting all his effort in the team for the world cup. What ever his plans are, he has a great respect as a bowler.
