Coming from Vidharba and a guy from rural area, no age group cricket or A team at higher level or NCA , MRF academy training before he made it big or interactions with a good bowling coach.

Essentially Umesh was a natural athlete with Sehwag like care free uncluttered mind and serious pace, the good thing is we have not lost him like we did Munaf n some others, he has matured a bit slowly but then Dhoni was his capt for large time so that retarded his progress.

Now under Virat n Kumble n hopefully BCCI will employ some like Shane Bond, or Akhtar, he will get better, he has the pace n skills now he needs to take it to next level.

Bowl per conditions n batsmen, ie current length for a wkt, if a batter likes to play front or back foot how to make him uncomfortable and how to plan him out.

He has improved his accuracy n his bouncer now he needs to have a good coach to help him think n prepare like a fast bowler with his assets.

He has not lost pace n intact is stronger now with better action n runup, he can touch 150 mark now and gets to 145 easily,a guy like M Pringle, Fannie, Bond, Akhtar could bring about that mental change,confidence, aggressiveness in his intent, make the batter uncomfortable.

Yes....we have to accept that Umesh is a late bloomer. To his advantage, he is supremely fit and can carry on for many more years.

 

He always had high pace.

 

Now, he has improved accuracy and a good bouncer....2 very important additions to his repertoire.

 

I think working under the guidance of Kumble has improved him suddenly and there are lots of reasons for hope.

 

Infact, most of our fast bowlers have improved a lot under Kumble, even in the absence of a  specialist bowling coach.  Shami, Umesh and Pandya  all have looked better.  We are seeing them bowl a high % of  deliveries around the off stump, always bowling quick and bowling lots of good bouncers......that is the way to go.  I think a low profile but efficient bowling coach who can work under Kumble and help with the technical aspects may not be a bad idea.  Batting coach Sanjay Bangar, low profile but efficient, has been doing an excellent job.

See a bowling coach see a bowling coach has to be more dynamic then a batting coach, it's more physical, science, and understanding of the art n conditions at highest level, n I would prefer an experienced but more multi dimensional coach , he has to get into the mental side of a bowler, analyse his action, conditions look at strength conditioning for a bowler many things n more complex then a batting coach
