No Fast bowling coach for the Indian cricket team, Umesh learning from "Sanjay Bhai and Anil Bhai"

[Ironhide]

I was shocked to see Umesh Yadav saying " Sanjay Bhai and Anil Bhai are helping me with my bowling" today in the after match interview. The Zaheer Khan talks broke down 3 days back as Zaheer was not ready to give more than 100 days and even for that short time, he was asking 4 crores. Zaheer would have been the best option but now BCCI should look at other good options and select a decent fast bowling coach as soon as possible.

India need a fielding coach on a priority basis. Kumble knows about bowling and will be helpful even for fast bowlers, but our fielders suck. Please get a catching coach!

We need a world class bowling coach desperately and needed that for a long time

Would happily employ Zaheer, than pay insane amount to some over-rated foreigner bowling coach

Zaheer Khan has made it clear that he does not have time, he was willing to offer 100 days max. The Indian team need a full time coach. Zaheer Khan has commentary and other Business commitments, so BCCI has to look at other options.

Get Javagal Srinath. Would be better than having no one. Atleast he had the skills, but we'll miss the wittyness of Zak.

Srinath is ICC match refree.

Damien Fleming will be a good option.

Brett Lee/Pollock/Wasim Akram? No idea about availability/interest

Akram wont come and in the present scenario we cant have him either.

No idea about Pollock.

Lee will be a good option.

But i will always prefer a thinking bowler like Fleming or Bond or Zakk or Mcdermott.

In that case we have to bow down to the goras.

Shane Bond wanted to spend more time with his family and that was his reason for quitting from NZ coach position, he is now happy with a 6 week only IPL job.

Till the time we can decide upon a high profile coach, Bharat Arun should get his job back.

 

Under him, our seamers have improved their accuracy and pace.

 

Sub-continent coaches often work better with our youngsters, especially those who are not that strong in English.  

 

Another issue is...our seamers often have to learn the basics, although they are playing at international level, which foreigners don't understand.

 

How is TA Sekhar as an option ?  He has extensive experience teaching young fast bowlers.

Our seamers will find it tough with any foreign coach because of the language barrier or they might not be able to understand the mindset/psychology of our seamers. Better to have an Indian as coach. TA Sekhar is not a bad option because he has worked with domestic seamers for many years. Just because he was a medium pacer in his playing days or coached Ranji medium pacers, doesnt mean he will ask fast bowlers to cut down on pace.

MRF pace academy has a history of changing bowler's actions and turning them into trundlers.

That's because the bowlers themselves had injury problems and couldnt bowl as quickly as they once could.

So then fire him from the IPL.

You will be happy to know that TA Sekhar was considered as a genuine fast bowler in his time and some thought that he was the fastest bowler in the world around 1984, despite  having the WI quicks ruling the world. Whether that is true or not, the guy had pace.

 

I agree with you completely that even if a medium pacer becomes a coach, that does not mean that he would tell his proteges to cut down on pace.  (  It is also possible that ...that person actually bowled with full effort and at the top end of his pace but lacked natural pace. )
