What BD needs is a psychologist, a motivator not a batting coach. It is incorrect to believe that former test cricketers alone can prove to be good coaches. The coach of Australia, John Buchanan, has never played a test, but he is a great motivator and that is why the Aussies have chosen him over many past greats.
I also suspect that there is genuine communication gap between the coach and the players. I suspect that most of the English that Whatmore speaks goes over the heads of the BD players without leaving much impression on them. I may be wrong, but that seems to be a possibility.
