'What is Ian Frazer doing?'

Batsmen doubling as bowling consultants, experienced bowlers playing mentors, the troubled pacer Irfan Pathan picking on the brains of any former pace bowler who strolls to the India nets and Munaf Patel’s desperation to chat with Glenn McGrath all point to one thing: the inadequacy of the coaching staff to provide a support system to the bowlers.

I would say that it is not precisely bad bowling but lack of direction that is getting them so unsettled. India have to accept that they don’t have an Akram or a McGrath and they have to make do with what they have. For that, precisely, they need somebody who can help them in retaining the focus time and again.
