Best wishes to him. Hope he will improve our bowlers technically and physically as well.

[Banglaguy]

Best wishes...
Question: Wasn't he the bowler who was a part of the NZ tour of BD 2010?
Well, I don't see anything wrong in that. Their bowling was good, economical, and really, it was Shakib + the bowlers who won the series (obviously not literally).

[zinatf]

Good luck Shane! Hope our bowlers get the most out of him....and please someone feed Shafiul...he doesn't look like a fast bowler at all.....BCB/Law should take the physical routine of all the cricketers as a "must do" task

[roman]

Over the two years he was with the New Zealand team the BLACKCAPS held the lowest RPO for ODI cricket and had four bowlers in the top ten rankings of ODI Cricket.

Looks impressive. Good luck Shane...

[TIKBoss]

If they had to hire an Australian then why not Troy Cooley? He is one of the best

A bowling coach got nothing to do if the batsmen can't play spin in subcontinent conditions, as you said their bowling was quite good and that is what matters here.

Yep, that's what I said. Take an example of how they performed in the world cup. If we could have some pacers like Hamish Bennett (at his speed) we might actually look like a side who can take 20 wickets.

[mufi_02]

Overall, this guy looks amazing. I think he is the best we can get after Ian Pont.

NZ's bowling is really impressive with Tim Southee, Kyle Mills and others. They have 4 bowlers in Top 10. If we can get two fast bowlers in Top 20, we will be in very good shape.

[munnabhai]

Thank God, it's not Prasad! Would take him over Prasad any day, best of luck to the Coach!

Because a) apparently Cooley doesn't work with n00bs and b) we can't afford him.

[lamisa]

great! his record looks really impressive. let's see if he can work that RPO magic on our shafiul!

[nakedzero]

Good luck Shane. I hope he is going perform a good job. Best of luck.

[Tiger444]

Wish him the best of luck. Don't see him making many improvements in the bowlers for this series but hopefully we can get to see those improvements in the Pakistan series. Now all we need is a spin bowling coach and a batting coach. Hopefully they come in sooner rather then later.

[kazis2007]

far better than ghar vanga prasad.

[AMD128]

Good luck Shane. Even though a last minute appointment. But glad that finally a bowling coach is here.

ঢাকা: বাংলাদেশ জাতীয় ক্রিকেট দলের বোলিং কোচের দায়িত্ব পেয়েছেন অস্ট্রেলিয়ার শেন জার্গেনসেন।

৩৫ বছরের অস্ট্রেলিয়ান ক্রিকেটার জার্গেনসেনকে বোলিং কোচ হিসেবে নিয়োগের ব্যাক্ষা দিয়ে বিসিবির প্রধান নির্বাহী মনজুর আহমেদ বলেন,“জার্গেনসেন বোলিং বিষয়ে খুবই অভিজ্ঞতাসম্পন্ন। এছাড়া ক্রিকেটার হিসেবে দুর্দান্ত ছিল সে। দলে তার অন্তর্ভুক্তি আমাদের ক্রিকেটারদের জন্য খুবই কার্যকরী হবে। বোলিং কোচ হিসেবে আগামী জুন পর্যন্ত আমাদের সঙ্গে থাকবেন তিনি।”

ডান হাতি পেসার জার্গেনসেন অস্ট্রেলিয়ার তিনটি প্রাদেশিক দলের হয়ে প্রথম শ্রেণী ক্রিকেট খেলেছেন। কুইন্সল্যান্ড, তাসমানিয়া ও ওয়েস্টার্ন অস্ট্রেলিয়ার হয়ে দুটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ অর্জনও রয়েছে। শেফিল্ড শিল্ড ফাইনালে তিনিই ১০ বা ততোথিক উইকেট নেওয়া প্রথম বোলার। বেলেরিভে ওভালে প্রথম শ্রেণী ক্রিকেটে প্রথম হ্যাটট্রিকও করেন তিনি। এছাড়া জার্গেনসেন অস্ট্রেলিয়ার অনূর্ধ্ব-১৯ ও অনূর্ধ্ব-১৭ দলেও ছিলেন।

জার্গেসেনের কোচিং ক্যারিয়ার প্রায় ১৫ বছরের। ইংল্যান্ডের হরশ্যাম ক্রিকেট ক্লাবে মাত্র ২১ বছর বয়সে কোচ হিসেবে প্রথম নিয়োগ পান। এছাড়া ২০০৮-’১০ মৌসুমে নিউজিল্যান্ড ক্রিকেট দলের বোলিং কোচের দায়িত্ব পালন করেন। সম্প্রতি কিউই ক্রিকেটারদের হাই পারফরমেন্স কর্মসূচীতে হাই পারফরমেন্স কোচের দায়িত্বে ছিলেন।
