Former Aussie fast bowler Jason "Dizzy" Gillespie has been signed to coach MidWest Rhinos for the upcoming season, replacing Andy Waller, who is currently on duty with Zimbabwe XI as their assistant coach. Gillespie was most recently coach of the South Australian Outbacks, but apparently jumped at the chance to take on the Zimbabwean side:

"I am looking forward to working with the players and staff at the Mid West Rhinos and to continuing the development of the team as a force in Zimbabwean cricket. I see this as a fantastic opportunity to be involved in the continued progress of Zimbabwean cricket and their pursuit of getting their ICC Test status back.

"I have spoken with Heath Streak and Alistair Campbell, both former international players, and they have both talked of the untapped potential within the current Zimbabwe domestic system. I look forward to helping progress Zimbabwe at both domestic and ultimately international level."

Another sign of Zimbabwe's rehabilitation in the cricketing world, I think. That said, I can't help but wonder what Andy Waller did wrong to merit being replaced, as Rhinos certainly had no lack of success under him last season.

UPDATE: Dizzy spoke to Fox Sports News in Australia about his move - here's the clip:
