Black Caps: Batting coach Luke Ronchi to step down after India series

What an absolute bloody joke. Another Kiwi coach off to Australia for a bit of cash. Our entire cricket system is just a feeder for the Aussies. Disgrace.

Ronchi was a decent keeper-batsman but let's be real, our batting has been mid under him. Maybe it's time for a fresh approach anyway.

James O’Brien2026-07-17T05:31:28.000Z

oath mate, the batting has been dogshite. Couldn't get worse right?

Sophie Ngata2026-07-17T05:08:28.000Z

Good on him though, gotta look after your family and career. Hope the Black Caps find someone good to replace him.

Casey Adams2026-07-17T05:19:28.000Z

nah it's always about money with the Aussies. But Luke's a good bloke, hope he does well.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-17T05:39:28.000Z

exactly, it's a job opportunity. Can't blame a bloke for wanting to coach in the BBL.

James O’Brien2026-07-17T05:40:28.000Z

Oh well, maybe we'll get someone who actually knows how to coach batting on NZ pitches. Sick of watching collapses.

Jamie Fox2026-07-17T06:02:28.000Z

you're right, another one bites the dust. Ronchi did alright but we need a proper batting coach who can sort out the collapses.

RNZ2026-07-17T05:51:28.000Z

Doesn't matter who we get, the board will pay peanuts and we'll get some bloke who's just happy to be here. Meanwhile the Aussies throw money around like confetti.

Casey Adams2026-07-17T06:01:28.000Z

Honestly Ronchi was alright but not a huge loss. Wasn't exactly Kane Williamson level as a coach. Let's see what happens.

RNZ2026-07-17T06:31:28.000Z

haha just like How's knock in the WC final ey. Classic. But still a decent move for him I guess.
