RICH Pyrah has urged Yorkshire’s members and supporters to remain patient as the club look to get it right in limited overs cricket.

The recently retired all-rounder turned coach is convinced that first-team coach Jason Gillespie will find the formula for success with the white ball sooner rather than later after their recent struggles.

Since reaching the domestic T20 final and the Champions League in 2012 - Gillespie’s first season in charge - the Vikings have failed to reach the knockout stages in three attempts.

They have shown signs of progression in the last two years of 50-over cricket, reaching the quarter and semi-finals, but remain without any one-day silverware for 13 years.

Pyrah says Gillespie masterminding sustained success in four-day cricket has laid a platform at Headingley, and he believes the Australian’s forthcoming spell as coach of Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash can only benefit the White Rose.

Gillespie arrived in Adelaide over the weekend for a near two-month stint in charge of last year’s semi-finalists.

Pyrah will join him for a short period just after Christmas as he looks to develop his coaching experience.

“I’m massively confident it will happen for us,” he said.

“We needed a bit of stability after a tricky year or two when he came in. We’ve really concentrated on the four-day stuff over the last couple of years, and we can build now.

“If somebody comes into a new club like Dizzy came into Yorkshire, it’s impossible for him to come in and starting winning three trophies immediately.

“We’ve done well over the last two or three years in four-day cricket, but we’ve been very poor in Twenty20 cricket, especially, and one-day cricket.

"It’s a big thing for me and Dizzy to go away this winter and see something different. We might pick up something there that we can bring back.

“As a squad, we’ve got enough potential, enough good players and a big enough squad to perform in all competitions. We shouldn’t really concentrate on winning one. We want all three.

"It would be very harsh for anyone to say ‘Dizzy’s not been doing it in one-day cricket’. Give him chance. He’s only been at the club three years.

“You’ve got to remember he’s still a young coach who’s only been doing it a couple of years. I’m sure he’ll find his way to get us performing in the other competitions soon.”

Pyrah, who heads Down Under on Boxing Day, will spend approximately a fortnight with Gillespie, Adil Rashid and the Strikers, a week with Melbourne Renegades before linking up with state side Victoria during his month away.

“It’s completely different cricket,” he added. “If you watch the Big Bash on telly, it’s a lot quicker than our competition.

“Working with those players and seeing what they do can only help. It’s impossible for me to say exactly what we're going to learn, but it will be massive for both of us.”
