A good bowler need not be a good coach.Gavaskar though a very good batsman failed as coach/manager of India.Achrekar though not played test match found a player in Sachin and moulded him as a great player.so let"s not plead emotionally
changing the coach, selectors, captain is not the solution. changing the authoritarian board president is the solution. because of srini, he has developed a coterie around him who always nods for what ever decision he used to make. its because of him, even dhoni has become authoritarian. the sooner we get a broad minded board president, indian cricket will improve. exactly when srini took over, our debacle started in the last 3 years..even zaheer cant do wonders in the present situation..
Good bowler does not mean a good coach. Also Zaheers man magement skills are suspect. Even as a bowler he was quite laid back even missing practice sessions. His fitness is always a ? . Why are people suggesting such vested interest names?
Zaheen himself lacked the dedication when he played the game. His of field activities kept him unfit for most part of his career. I wonder how an ex-bowler of his attitude could help current crop which also lacks attitude to succeed and the brains to plan the attack.
Javagal Srinath would be the best bet (should he be willing) from the experience point of view. But Srinath was always a soft spoken man. So how many of the current bowlers will actually listen to his advise will be a big question mark.
