BANFAN, we are going round in circles.
I am not denying that coach plays a major role in building a team, but his role is limited in match situations where the captain must take the baton. A coach can't really do anything without a proper leader.
Dave Whatmore was successful because he had Habibul Bashar as the captain who had the ability to unite the team and lead with performance. The players had a lot of respects for Bashar.
In case of Ashraful, his recklessness is very efficiently transmitted into the mindset of his teammates. He is leading the rot with examples. The payers don't feel guilty when they throw their wickets away as their skipper is showing the way!! A coach can really do little if his captain always lets him down.
