From introducing a system through which the budding stars can start bowling 140kmh within six months, to ensuring that they have the proper hair-do, Fanie de Villiers has a wide range of plans if he gets a chance to be a bowling coach or consultant. That and more in his interview with D Dutta of gulfnews.com.
"First of all, I do not know what purpose do Ishant Sharma's long hairs serve. If I become the bowling coach of India, the first thing I would ask him is to cut his hair short. He does not look like a cricketer to me. You know, that's the basic thing, you need to look like a cricketer first. Batting or bowling comes after that."
