News trickling out of the Indian camp suggests that all is not well with the young pacer. Mumbai Mirror has learnt that Ishant is getting increasingly uncomfortable after being told “not to complicate†matters too much by constantly seeking guidance from his mentor Manoj Prabhakar.

Every evening, despite the time difference, Ishant would speak to Prabhakar from Australia during the 2007-08 series. At times, he would be on the ’phone taking tips for close to an hour. In Australia, he tried to blindly execute plans Prabhakar had devised for him and as things turned out he did well.â€

While Prasad was very much the bowling coach in Australia in the 2007-08 series, he didn’t influence Ishant too much. He let him be under long-distance tutelage of Prabhakar.

I think Prabhakar should be made full time bowling coach of the Indian team instead of Venky. Always knew him to be an ultra street smart bowler with limited abilities. PRobably the first Indian to practice reverse swing - he dint have much pace, but bowled lovely indippers.

Your limited knowledge of Indian cricket is shining through your armor - watch the '81 Melbourne test highlights and pay attention to Kapil Dev.

Whats so funny ? He has served as sucessful Dellhi bowling coach for a period of time. He would better than Prasad any day.

i think we need someone who can take our bowlers to the next level. Venky was alright... not a specialist i guess

Prabhakar was banned from international cricket for his involvement in the match-fixing scandal. He also accused Kapil dev of match fixing. He has also been arrested for MANY financial frauds.

If he has been proven guilty how come he has held senior coaching positions at state levels. Last I read Rajasthan state association hired him as head coach.

Abhi tak ..Kapil Dev aur Venky se toh behtar coach sabit hua hai. Ishant se hi puchh le .:winky:

[Desi Cartman]

reminds me of the game when he and Mongia shamelessly played for Parbhakar's century and didnt even try to win the game.

Kirsten ke paas kya credentials the ? Or are you also becoming a safedi ki chamkar ka shikar ? Coaching has got to be by goras , whether they have credentials or not, right ?

LOL..go easy on those smilies. You dont have to pretend that you are dieing of laughter each and every post. DId you read the quote, where it says that Ishant while in Australia spoke for hours and blindly followed Prabhakars plan ?

Typical Prabhakar indippers: asGybmzmgVE BvD9aR3E1iQ&feature=related Team India bowlers would greatly benefit from his tips.
