145;Young bowlers need direction146;

Fanie de Villers, Former SA pace bowler

India need a bowling coach for sure. And the faster they have one, the better. One needn8217;t think twice to assure that there is enough talent in the team and a good Indian attack isn8217;t an impossible thing. I have a good reason to say that the current Indian attack is not very different to the one that came to South Africa during the World Cup or let8217;s say the one that toured Australia, later. Zaheer Khan has returned to form. The rest are a bunch of very young bowlers who need to be given direction and for that, they need to have somebody who could work with them as hard as they8217;ve been doing themselves. Sreesanth and Munaf were fine when they started but somehow seem to be losing track. I would say that it is not precisely bad bowling but lack of direction that is getting them so unsettled. India have to accept that they don8217;t have an Akram or a McGrath and they have to make do with what they have. For that, precisely, they need somebody who can help them in retaining the focus time and again. For Sri Lanka, Tom Moody can play that role and I think they8217;re the set of most ordinary Muralitharan aside yet impressive attack in world cricket today.
