Welcome aboard Coach Jurgensen. It is good to have you here.

shuziburo · #29 March 1, 2012, 11:13 AM

Could you give us a quick overview about our national pace attack? How do you want to approach this for the next one year?

kalpurush · #30 March 1, 2012, 12:31 PM

Welcome to BC Shane.

I wish you all the best to coach the young tigers. And have a great time in BC and Bangladesh

zsayeed · #31 March 1, 2012, 04:51 PM

Cool, welcome to BC Coach!
Now that we have some class amongst the ranks, perhaps we will all be a bit more watchful of our language in these annals.

Hah, high hopes. But one can always dream.

BANFAN · #35 March 2, 2012, 03:15 AM

That's a great news. Welcome coach. Will be looking forward for the interview.

Isnaad · #36 March 2, 2012, 04:05 AM

Welcome coach...!

Hope you have a great time here in BC

**Zunaid** · #37 March 2, 2012, 04:07 AM

Why don't you all start listing the questions you want to ask the coach for the first interview. We will collate, pick and chose and then publish.

firstlane · #38 March 2, 2012, 06:16 AM

Welcome coach. Glad to see you here. Go the Blues (just kidding

)

mufi_02 · #39 March 2, 2012, 09:46 AM

Welcome Coach. Here are few ques for you --

1. What is the current state of our national team's pace department? What are the strengths and weaknesses that you have noticed so far?

2. How are you working on the weaknesses? The quality has not improved and in fact in few occasions looks to be deteriorating. What do you think is the reason for this?

3. Who are the most promising pacers in the domestic circuit [excluding national team pacers]?

4. Lately, many countries are trying to debut new pacers.. such as Aus (Pattinson, Starc, McKay), Pak (Junaid Khan, Aizaz Cheema), Ind (Umesh Yadav, Vinay Kumar), Eng (Dernbach), SA (Juan Theron, Ryan McLaren) and few more.
Our last debubant in pace department was atleast 1-2 years ago. Don't you think it's time to draft new blood?

5. Do you think the slow pitches discourages the growth of fast bowlers? But in BPL, we say raw pace of Mohammed Sami proved to be effective in these very same pitches.

welcome coach Shane

looking forward to the interview and your posts.

Akib · #41 March 2, 2012, 11:16 AM

Ask him if he is willing to bowl for our team!

Dhakablues · #42 March 2, 2012, 12:37 PM

Welcome coach... I just have a question which isn't really sarcastic:

When you first saw our pacers and wondered, where is the other 2/3rd of their bodies, have you considered ordering Protein powders for them?

Welcome Coach

Good to have you here.

firstlane · #46 March 4, 2012, 03:49 AM

Shane, where would you rank Bangladesh in world cricket in terms of fast bowling?

Hi there
Here are a couple of answers to your questions:
Question 1 and 5.
So far during my time I have been extremely impressed with the quality of pace bowling in Bangladesh. Their individual skills match any bowler in the world and as an overall pace attack the guys all have subtle variations of their skills. Our areas to work on are based around confidence and experience to perform on the international stage. With more experience with international cricket and/or overseas experience and further encouragement from all areas this would certainly help the long term development and depth of our pace bowling stocks.

Question 2.
For me we just need a group of bowlers being consistent, accurate and aggressive and that is what I am looking to do. If we have 5 to 6 bowlers creating pressure everyday T20, for 50 overs in an ODI and for every session of a Test Match we then an put ourselves in a position to win games. That is my goal for the Bangladesh National Team.

Question 3.
Sorry but at the moment I can not answer this questions but will be very soon once I have seen more domestic cricket.

Question 4.
Depth of a bowling group is vital. From my experience with NZ competition in the squad can not only lift the bowling group to another level but also help in so many areas to push the overall team to potentially another level.

kalpurush · #48 March 4, 2012, 04:02 AM

Coach, are you going to look for new blood? Or, the once we have in stock you are going to work with, i.e., Mashrafee, Rubel, Shafiul, Nazmul in regards to pace bowling?

Much thanks for joining BanglaCricket and your time

Isnaad · #49 March 4, 2012, 04:08 AM

Just as our mods have light green coloured IDs in BC, may I request the mods to give a unique coloured ID for our coach?

Just a suggestion

BengaliPagol · #50 March 4, 2012, 05:58 AM

Hey coach thanks for joining banglacricket. Go the Blues! Wait till you see us win Origin this year! Anyways Ive just got a question. Bangladesh are obviously not up there with other cricketing nation e.g. Australia, South Africa. What needs to be done to change this?
