@ Murad. He is definitely in England but I dont think he is playing for any county team.

And me and Nadim?

Ganguly played against Pakistan for MCC, but I'm not sure if he's playing in the domestic T20 competition

[Roni_uk]

I guess Siddon's time is up. Sourav Ganguli is taking over sooner or later. Take this as the transition period. I'd say good move.

[wiseshah]

good move

now hire warne or mcgrath or chaminda vaas as a bowling coach

[Dilscoop]

^^ Mcgrath Warne. Pfft

@ Roni: Yaa right. You guys are going way overboard! GANGULY IS PART TIME. IT's ONLY BECAUSE HE IS IN ENG ATM! THATS ALL! dont get your hopes up. JS is here to stay! sob!

First and foremost, we needed a bowling coach. I don't mind a batting coach either, though, we do need all the help we can get at the moment.

[mahbubH]

BCB is just following PCB... lot of coaches and different captains... idiots... Mash cannot even make the team right now...

[crickwizard]

BCB Should get either Chaminda Vaas or Glen Mcgraw as bowling coach. Our players can't bowl too fast, 77-80 m/h with swing can be the only fast bowling option that can be effective

[Dilscoop]

One good thing we can already see from this is, we wont have to see a SLA biased bowling changing, or Riyad not getting the ball at all. And Mash can use himself correctly. Over the years captains have miss used him. But I hope it doesn't mean that he finishes his 10 over by 35 overs just to make his stats look better.

[shakibrulz]

Wow, Dada as the batting coach.. He's truly a motivator.. Great move by the BCB..

But agree with others, what BD need is a bowling coach.

[zman]

what I admire most about dada is his grit and fighting attitude...I'm sure he'd do a great job as a head coach and inspire a lot of confidence in his team. We know he's one of those special players who play with a lot of heart and gut it out every time he's out there in the middle. Not sure he'll be able do more than what takla's done to improve our batting though given his well chronicled weakness against the short ball...hope he proves me wrong...like most others I'm also looking forward to finding out who's the new bowling coach.

[Dilscoop]

I just wanna see Ganguly at the dressing room, with our WU kit on. The black jacket and stuff. (talking about those, why do they change those every 2 weeks??)

Who told you that? I didn't see any sign in last 2 years.

Very good move in my opinion. We need such high performing players from int cricket to be affiliated with the team, we seriously lack mentoring, we don't have quality ex players to do that. These guys can pass on skills and techniques they have used under different conditions. Now we need some bowling advise, I would prefer W. Akram.

[tkandi4]

I see big problems in batting. Would JS and SG advise the same thing to our batsmen? If not, then who would they follow? If batsmen fail, who would take the blame?
Based on performance and fitness, Mash can't make the team. Now he is the captain. We will be playing with 10 men again.

[Dilscoop]

^^ Why would you blame SG? He will only be there for 1 or 2 days..

[beshideshi]

Some of us here are perhaps too young to remember what Ganguly did to Indian cricket team, he made a "team" out of some extra ordinary "performers". Something we should be doing before the WC11. Ganguly is a great motivator, has a never-give-up mentality and possesses a great cricketing mind, all of these can only benefit the team. I think we should hire him as a batting advisor till the WC11, just so that he stays with the team and keeps pushing us.
Also he would be the first international coach who won't have a language barrier with the Bangladesh cricket team.

[Imteaz]

Poor Saurav!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck.

may be JS for RH batsman ..... mushfiq, rakibul, mahmudul jahurul .....

Dada for LH .... tamim, imrul, junaid, shakib ........

i think dada has the same problems like imrul and junaid eraly in his career, but he cam through a long way. so Dada can be a big motivator for these players.

anyway i dont think we will see the changese straight away. i think if he carries on up to WC 2011, then we may see signs of improvement at that time.

[auntu]

JS was definitely doing good with the batsman. We were lacking on bowling coach.
I don't how JS would take this decision. I hope there would be no personality conflict.

[M.H.Rubel]

Do we need a batting consultant at all?And Sourav appointed as batting consultant?I smell something fishy there.Is BCB thinking to change coach before world cup?

I wonder whether JS was asked of his opinion about this change at all or not?

And if I am not mistaken the Balls will not do as much this time around in the pitches as it did last time under cloudy sky as England wound be as cloudy this time of the year and players with their previous exposure will surely be expected to do better.

I only hope this better performance be not attributed to the change in captaincy and addition of a Batting consultant. Captain and consultant are not magician that they can change with flicck....

Yes but if you are old enough you should not forget that Indian team had certain Dravid, SRT, ganguly, Kumble at the peak of their respective forms. Yes they did seemed to lack in team spirit, but you can no way claim the change in Indian attitude to appointment of SG only, John Wright had his share in it too. If ganguly was so great in building a team out of whatever he would have made KKR the champ. What is KKR lacking? Certainly not skill or ability or even certain Dav Whatmore...

and Our captain didnot find a place in the playing eleven even in that team and you expect Saurav to be the magician who will change the Bangladesh Cricket...!! Please come to the sense.......

Also language is no real barrier.... Players in our team speak decent enough English and Universal language of Cricket contains substantial amount of english words that every player get to know even in bangladesh at very early age...
