I think Bruce Reid has been appointed a bowling coach to give a crash course to the indian bowlers in 10 weeks. We can also think about appointing a fielding coach. The performance of our Great batsmen in first 2 matches of Ausssie tour suggests that we require a batting coach as well. Thinking about what John Wright would be doing? Oh he can simply be a head coach to all these 3 coaches. Anyway these coaches are not going to change the outcome of the series. Eventually everything depends on the players doing the right things at the right time in the middle.
Wasim Akram should be given a chance. He is undoubtedly the worlds best left handed bowler ever in history of the game. He knows how to bowl at different circumstances. Bruce reid is tall but he is not a crafty bowler. Akram,Zaheer,Nehra are almost of the same height. Akram would have been much better. Bruce reid is totally injury prone. I am afraid if zaheer and Nehra totally follows reid tactics. It can be dangerous for them and for their career. Wasim totally knows how to control the ball,bounce and how to bowl without getting injury.
Now both the governments of India and pakistan are showing signs of peace process. If sports is a tool for peace, then the best players like kapil,Imran,Javed Miandad,Bedi,Prasanna,Venkatraghavan,Rameez raja,Chandrasekhar,Srikanth all should come together to improve relations between people.The honorable Prime Minister and our cabinet ministers will take care of all the political matters. It is now the duty of Great Indians and Pakistani cricketers to help each other teams to their best extent. This would enable the people to show interests on each other. This is equally important.
so I guess reid and wright combination will fail miserably.
