Western Australia sign Mickey Arthur to caoch

[brod]

Western Australia have got their wish for a disciplinarian and the new coach Mickey Arthur has already told the under-achieving squad there will be no room for comfort zones. Arthur, who resigned as South Africa's mentor in January, has been given a three-year contract at the WACA, where he replaces Tom Moody.

Arthur will apply similar structures to the ones that lifted the Proteas to the top of the world as he attempts to take the Warriors to their first Sheffield Shield since 1998-99. "We need guys getting stuck in and taking responsibility," Arthur told Cricinfo from South Africa. "There is going to be no room in the squad for comfort zones. I'll be pushing them as hard as I can to get the best results I can."

It'll be interesting to see if Pomersbach stays or goes given his recent run ins.

WA would have to be one of the most frustrating teams,i thought Tom Moody was a good choice,they seem to have the talent but their batsmen have been so inconsistent.Will be interesting with coach coming from the outside and see if they can improve.
