At that time, he was what I needed. I was a bit raw, and struggling
with my action," Plunkett said. "I thought it was all about technical.
But it wasn't - it was just about backing myself.
"When I went there, that was what he picked up straightaway. He does
other stuff with different people, but he knew what I wanted. He just
said to me 'bowl fast', and he backed me. With that came confidence and
performance."
"Whenever you have a bad spell he is always there patting you on the
back and saying no worries mate you can change the game next spell. I
take my hat off to him, I owe him quite a bit.
"I'm obviously gutted - because he was good for me, and good for the
team. It's a tough decision that he's made. But I want to thank him -
he's been great for me. He's brought me back to playing for England. So I
wish him the best, and look forward to catching up when I get back to
Yorkshire."
Yorkshire have gone out of both limited-overs competitions - the T20
Blast and Royal London Cup - at the semi-final stage over the last two
weekends but a hat-trick of County Championship titles remains in view
as they sit second in the table, five points behind leaders Middlesex.
"I hope we can make it three this year in the Championship," Plunkett
said. "That would be a nice note to leave on. I'm sure there will be
quite a few people trying to get that job
