Former New Zealand coach Steve Rixon should not be surprised by the Kiwis' 0-4 loss to Bangladesh in the five match one-day international series which concluded in Mirpur, near Dhaka yesterday. The second match was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain.
"I've been disappointed for three or four years - a lot of cricket has been played during that time and a lot of bad decisions have been made," Rixon told the New Zealand Herald yesterday.
"If they are fair dinkum about getting their game up to scratch, it is not going to happen the way it has been going."
Rixon, who played for Australia in the 1970s and 1980s, is not impressed by New Zealand's cricket structure since coach Andy Moles resigned in October 2009.
Rixon added: "I don't like the set-up at the moment. I think it was thrown together and I don't think it is designed properly. There doesn't appear to be a head coach. You still, under any circumstances, need someone to take the pressure off the captain (Daniel Vettori)."
