I think you mean Andy rather than Grant. Did Fletcher and Maynard have any success with batsmen who were called up to the England side and then discarded or can they only coach batsmen they consider good.

I don't think they will drop Shine as he is an Academy pick who has experience in biomechanics which they consider the holy grail. There aren't many coaches around that have that. I think it is a waste of time. If a bowler has been bowling for years without an injury why change his action in case he gets an injury. Bowlers should have been coached when they were younger at their counties on slower balls, cutters, bouncers, yorkers, inswingers outswingers, reverse swingers etc and shouldn't need a coach for that. I would get rid of the batting and bowling coaches and if players have problems they should contact their county coaches or be able to look at a video of their batting or bowling and work out for themselves where they are going wrong. If we are going to pick bowlers that are not the finished article then Hoggard and Harmison should be helping younger bowlers like most of other sides in international cricket but I don't see that happening in matches.

Broad's father didn't want his action changed but Broad didn't agree with his father. I don't know whether his action has been changed but now he has a knee problem and is off to see a specialist. Lewis is off to have an operation on his ankle and after spending some time with England Tremlett had a back problem. Are England just unlucky with their bowlers?
