Bowling Coach U will love to have for ur team...

[WhatisRight]

I know not all great bowlers can be good coaches, but for discussion sake which of the following fast bowlers you would love to have for your team, which will improve and make your sides fast bowlers a threat.

Lillee is the only one I know who is actually a coach. Coaching and playing at the international level are completely different. You don't need to have done one to do the other.

So its Lillee by default. Just because you can do it, it doesn't mean you can tell others how you did it. And it certainly doesn't mean what worked for you will work for everyone else.

I read somewhere about Marshall being a very good coach...think he helped pollock in early stages of his career,iirc.

Imran also knew his technical stuff.

I think the answer is probably Lillee though

He did and i think Ntini as well. too bad his life got struck down so soon.

Picked Lille because of his track record. Most great fast bowlers would make pretty decent coaches, I suspect, unless they have terrible communication skills

Strongly DWTA. I don't think its different from any other sport. Most successful fast bowlers know about the game, and also knows what works for them, but that's not what would work for another fast bowler. And some things may come naturally. Can they deconstruct it and teach it? It's a different skillset.

Allan Donald had a great impact on the England side in his short time as England bowling coach, I'd love to have him back, far better than Ottis Gibson.

Lillee's coaching has been well documented so he'd probably be my pick, though as others have said Marshall was developing an excellent reputation before he was so sadly taken from us. I'd imagine that both Hadlee and Imran would be good coaches as well.

Probably the last guy I'd take is the bowler on the list I'd consider to be my favourite - Wasim Akram. I just don't think what he could do can be taught.

 

[Manee]

Would love to have Lillee and Akram as coaches for my team, if we are to pick from the past greats.

 

[age_master]

Lillee is supposed to be one of the best bowling coaches going around. I have seen Wasim giving tips to young bowlers a lot too.

 

[Arjun]

An ideal bowling coach will be someone who will emphasise on strategies to take wickets, not just someone who used to bowl fast in his prime. Someone with profound technical knowledge will be useful, when he can point out technical deficiencies and suggest corrective action. Out here, Lillee and Hadlee come out on top. They would, however, come useful as consultants, rather than coaches.

Lillee for me please.

 

[Evermind]

Went with Imran, because he had bowling and people skills (as proven by captaincy) - both are necessary for coaching.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Well, Lillee hasn't produced anyone outstanding from his work at the MRF pace academy, and Imran's judgement is questionable given that he rated Mohammad Sami of all people. So, I wouldn't go with either. Venkatesh Prasad has a greater claim to being a better coach than both, considering the difference he's made to the Indian team.
