Law reveals heartache at Queensland axe

Stuart Law was almost gone from cricket after his work with the Bulls lose, but has returned as Australia's batting coach for Sri Lanka tour
In January last year, Stuart Law was prepared from Cricket on foot. His beloved Queensland Bulls ran last in the Sheffield Shield, the Brisbane heat had finished bottom of the KFC Big Bash League and an emergency meeting of Queensland Cricket Board had Laws resignation. The proud Queenslander who had his state lead in 1994-95 for their first Shield title, thought his ambitions for a career coach had gone up in smoke. So when Darren Lehmann came knocking, there was no hesitation. Cricket Australia has confirmed today, it would be the Australian cricket team interim batting coach for this winter Qantas tour of Sri Lanka. Law occurs instead of Greg Blewett, who missed the July August tour due to the birth of his second child. "I am a roller coaster ride recently for over a bit I thought about getting out of cricket," Law told reporters today in Brisbane. "Then I sat down and gave me an uppercut. I do not know anything else, I want to be a career coach." I feel like I have a lot to give. It is a great chance to get there and when Darren approached me first, and Pat Howard followed them to start you on the horse are again to believe. "His Queensland starting when he still had another year on his contract, so sitting a shock to the system, leaving him" embarrassed more than anything else "was." There are not as many jobs were when I was released, " said Law. "down and find out what you will do, you have to put food on the table and your family keep working at a level even keel. "If nothing starts on cricketing horizon arise you have to look elsewhere." Law was forced to bring the family home on the market to stay afloat. He said he went on, but there are still maroon blood in his veins. Despite the manner of his departure, he still wants to roar the cops to see. "I'm not ashamed of what happened. There are people who go every day through them," Law said News Corp. "You put your heart and soul into something for 16 years, then coach you, but there is no resentment of me there. I hold no resentment. I've moved on." I want to still help and hope that one day I in some capacity, but it was hard. "" a man like this, with more than 27,000 primary class runs to his name, a Baggy Green cap and proven international experience as manager after working with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh was never to sit idly go for long. Law returned to coaching as an assistant at the Australia A tour of India last year, working closely with the clubs in a row that saw start his journey of the test team back toward Australia Usman Khawaja. Law spent time in Bangladesh, working with the U-19 team, as the country's U-19 World Cup hosts that Cricket Australia decided a team due to security concerns of sending. However, this job is the "icing on the cake", and a man who "hates losing" will show everything for the team. "I am not to prove a point, I am there to help these guys, the best players they can be, and if I'm going to add something to him I" Law said. "Around here are now saying,". That's what we will do, "that's not my style I get there, we will work out, the guys will tell me what they want to do, and we 'll try . to achieve it, "Law only played one test against Sri Lanka in Perth in 1995, but have no career average - he finished unbeaten on 54 - as Michael Slater 219 and Mark Waugh scored 111 in Australia's innings and winning 36 runs. Law says Test match batting since those days has changed significantly, with the pace at which runs against the red ball a crucial difference to be achieved. "It is not uncommon for 150 runs in a meeting these days to see, especially on the first morning," Law said. "But it is important that the aggression with a solid defense cranking. If you can have a solid defense you bat longer and the longer we asked the more runs we score." It is a philosophy that the game back to the roots and strip Law batsmen to be particularly keen on a diet of T20 competitions and limited competitions names spend time in the middle come the test games crammed to see. "What they need to do is to stay there and make sure whether they are in then they are the ones who runs scoring or the innings finished off," Law said of Australia's top six. "Be happy, not with 100s, 200s and be happy with 150 not outs. That's what I reinforce to seek."
