Who ever thought Andy FLower can lead a British army to invade India after decades of failure? It is all about tips. Probably they will need a course on diversified communication and sports psychology before start. May be a specialized coaching crash course.
It may be a challenging thing for Ponting. He might start sledging to his students for not listening and get more and more anxious as he has that nagging attitude of a true Aussie. Whether Hussey given the calm and coolness can become a better coach who can fix errors of his students with persevered patience. In case of Lara, I think making him talk would be the toughest part. If he does not like you, you may even will not know it for years after he left.
It was a proposal. BCB can find out whether any of the three available to coach. You are correct about my wishful thinking; coaching may be the last thing in the great minds of the triple.
PS: Steve Waugh is still most wanted in the wish list of coaches in BC.
