Tom Moody
Coach
Born: 2 October 1965
One of the most sought-after coaches in world
cricket following his success with Sri Lanka,
Moody returned to Perth in May 2007 to take on
the role of Retravision Warriors Manager and
Head Coach and enters his third season at the
helm in 2009-10.
Moody played 145 first-class matches for Western
Australia, scoring 9520 runs (avg. 42.31) and
taking 232 wickets (avg. 28.40), as well as 73
one-day games, chalking up 1970 runs (avg. 33.96)
and snaring 70 wickets (avg. 30.41). He played
in five Sheffield Shield-winning teams and four
domestic one-day championships. Moody also notched
up eight Test appearances and 76 one-day internationals
for Australia, including two World Cup wins in
1987 and 1999.
Following his retirement from WA cricket in
2001, Moody spent four years as Director of Cricket
at Worcestershire. In 2003 they won Division
Two of the County Championship to earn promotion
to the top flight for the first time. He also
led Worcs to successive domestic limited-overs
finals at Lord’s.
In mid-2005, Moody was appointed Head Coach
of Sri Lanka and presided over a fruitful two-year
period that included an ICC World Cup final appearance
in 2007 and overseas Test victories against England
and New Zealand.
He will be aiming for similar success with the
Retravision Warriors in the near future. |
