I can think of a lot worse bowling coaches

Waqar could be McSofty's replacement

"Waqar Younis, the former captain and coach of Pakistan, has been interviewed for the position of Australian bowling coach, as Cricket Australia intensifies its search for the man to replace Craig McDermott.

Based in Sydney after he concluded a two-year stint as coach of Pakistan in 2011, Waqar is understood to have spoken to CA's team performance manager Pat Howard about taking on a role that was unexpectedly vacated by McDermott at the conclusion of the Australian tour of the West Indies."

He'd certainly teach our boys a few tricks.

I hear CA have just ordered 20 dozen bottle caps

Aren't Murray Mints the new bottle caps?

Murray mints are the legal spiffing British way to do these things. Not like these underhand Johnny foreigners.

I was aghast at the fact that the gentleman in question actually spat. He spat! Good grief, I hope Her Majesty didn't hear about it.

Neil Killeen - England Fast Bowling Coach?

He is married to an Aussie lass, lives much of the year in Sydney, and was somewhat of a legend as a bowler. Seems a reasonable choice to me, bottle caps, spag and all.

I'm pretty sure his son was born in Sydney. Hopefully that makes him Australia eligible if he has even a fraction of his dad's talent and if Waqar is as good a coach as Billy.

Good point, MrK. A lad who can bowl hooping inswingers at 100 mph could be a handy acquisition to the national squad in a dozen years or so.

He was on TV the other night having a feed with Maeve O'Meara.

Looked like he had been in a pretty good paddock

He doesn't have to run, he just has to show the boys wrist position, shoulder action, and, of course, bottle cap and mint action.

Waqar seems to have really grown as a person. He is a very good commentator and was also a very fine coach while working for Pakistan.

Great news for AUS cricket

Mitchell Johnson will make him bigger than Cosgrove

Was Wasim better at reverse swing or was it Waqar ? Imran I know swings both ways.

Crikey, Bucky boy has returned..... the end times are near.

Glad to see Bucks back. Missed him.

We need all the help we can get with so many MIA

Jay Patel next...

Chandan, Tauqeer Waqas, Shoey, Bliks, Dori....so many blokes lying low now.

I was thinking more of Peter, Jonty. Vilks abd Jillie.

Batman's hardly as prolific as he was! Same with the likes of Zat. We're done for. Toast.

Ange? Where's she at?

Just doesn't like the place much anymore, I think. She's slowly dropped off the regular posting and now two posts a month (maximum) on average

Yorkshire?

Haven't seen mynah for a while either.
