Very interesting interview...

Some good points:
1. How they took care of the bowl to do reverse swing. Thats why i said we need either Waker or Wasim to learn these stuff. Our bowling coach would never know these things...
2.
We have to go by culture. When the coaches come to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, they make sure they have meetings for two hours. They should know that the attention span in our part of the world is 14 minutes. If you get into the 15th minute, they will forget what you told them in the first 14. I went through this as a captain, and I realised that the shorter the meeting, and the more to the point it is, it stays in their minds for longer. Coaches now keep talking, players go to sleep. Doesn't matter how experienced or how alert, inside they are asleep.

3. u can pick young fast bowlers but to pick batsmen they have to get experience.
4. Imran Khan was bets captain. No coach would even dare to talk to him when he was fixing problem of others (example he fixed Akrams runups)...
