When I did economics back in HSC I remember talking about GD , with an important factor being mentioned that exports outweigh imports. Fair enough. Anyhow my mind has moved from GDP to LBW, thanking about the role of cricketing coaches. Australia has exported some of our finest to different parts of the cricketing globe, in return the only import that comes to mind is Mickey Arthur who is in Australia, but is not our cricket coach.
So here we go, a team of Australian test players, who have then coached other nations.
In batting order .
J Dyson Sri Lanka & West Indies
G Marsh Sri Lanka & Zimbabwe
D Whatmore Sri Lanka, Bangladesh & Pakistan
G Chappell India
S Law Sri Lanka
T Moody Sri Lanka
S Rixon New Zealand
B Yardley Sri Lanka
G Lawson Pakistan
J Gillespie Zimbabwe
C Rackemann Zimbabwe
Not a bad team. Enjoy the festive season,
Frohe Festgae,

Keith Stackpole. Coached Carlton. Ok so they arent another country, but they bloody well should be!! #Ihatetherottenmongrelsnomattercricketorfooty.
Eddie Jones. Harry Hopman. Roger Rasheed. Forbes Carlisle.
Excellent team.
Andy Bichel has done some fantastic work as coach of Papua New Guinea, with that team doing really well in cricket’s second tier.
Dav Whatmore also coached Zimbabwe until recently.
What about the Sunraysia/swan. Jamie Siddons?
Although not a Test player, my favourite all rounder cum mullet model, Joe Scuderi coached Italy, I think.
