gator Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 a snippet from cricinfo, dont know if u guys saw it.... "While India's bowlers have performed better than the batsmen in this series, there has been talk of the need for a bowling coach and Vengsarkar raised the point today. "We need a bowling coach. I have told Mr Pawar about it. I don't know who it will be, that's for the board to decide, but we need one."" hope it is not too late before the world cup.... Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: bowling coach in sight, at last.... Our bowlers are not the problem. Its our batsman. However, a bowling coach is a good idea! As long as he is a good one. Link to comment

But not so much now, we have best pacers for ages, should be ZK, Munaf and Sree as seamers. Decent trio. More then anything we need a batting coach Link to comment
gator Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: bowling coach in sight, at last.... u cant have a better batting coach than Greg... all our players have testified to tht.... it is jus impossible for these guys to play day in and day out for the majority of their life on flat tracks and jus by theoretically learning how to play on bouncy wickets, they can fare well......

vroomfondel Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: bowling coach in sight, at last.... it's a matter of confidence for the batters. dheeraj rahko, it will come. wonly won inning. the bowlers are bowling well -- I think a bowling coach is excellent for someone like Pathan who has been fiddling with his action for about a year now. Also Zakky has been known to completely lose his action -- we all remember the 'to-jump-or-not-to-jump' saga. I just hope they don't get a dennis lillee type -- or you will get 5 homogenous, utterly ineffective bowlers that will always be available for selection because of their new 'injury free actions'.
