"Robert Andrew Pick" is a former England/English cricketer, and is the former coach of the English U-19 cricket team/England Under-19 team and the Canadian cricket team/Canadian national team. He is currently the ICC High Performance Manager for the Americas Region.

An express-pace bowler, Pick played county cricket for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club/Nottinghamshire. He made a somewhat inauspicious first-class cricket/first-class debut against Hampshire County Cricket Club/Hampshire in July 1983 English cricket season/1983, returning first-innings figures of bowling analysis/20-3-101-0. During this match he also made his List A cricket/List A debut in the John Player League, taking 1-56 from eight overs, his victim being Mark Nicholas. Pick's maiden first-class wicket finally arrived in the second innings of his third game, when he dismissed Yorkshire County Cricket Club/Yorkshire's Martyn Moxon, but he ended the season with a dismal record of just seven first-class wickets.He received notoriety for his personal record pace of 95 mph.

That's now a huge trip for us. It means we have the chance to go to the tournament off the back of three wins if we play well rather than the 11 losses we had in Bangladesh. If we can do that then hopefully the confidence, morale and form will flow.

A chance, as a coach, to take a team to the World Cup finals is probably as high up the tree as it gets, certainly with one-day cricket.
