RE:Gary the coach
by Ram on Dec 03, 2007 07:41 PM

All said and done...coaches are only as good as the engines! At this level you need a real specialist or no one. India has bowling and fielding coaches, which is good. We could have opted for a batting coach(if its required). Any thing more than that would be absolutely useless. GChappell with all his reputation as a player did not do anything for anyone. The pace bowlers started bowling like sick old women. The batsmen started batting as if they had never held a bat in their hands. The fielding standards never improved. If the answere to that is getting younger players/different players/stronger players, then we might as well have a selector appointed in a similar manner, why have a coach.
