Dizzy goes to Zimbabwe

[brod]

Jason Gillespie, the former Australian fast bowler, is heading to Zimbabwe to take up a position as head coach of the Kwekwe-based MidWest Rhinos franchise. Gillespie's tenure will begin before the start of the domestic season in September, and he replaces Andy Waller - who has moved to Harare to take charge of the national age-group sides - in the role.

"We are really excited to have Jason taking charge of the team," said MidWest Rhinos chief executive Kenyon Ziehl. "It is a tremendous development in the franchise. He played for Australia at the highest levels with the greatest respect and was one of the best bowlers ever to open for Australia."
