From the games up to now on this tour, it would seem Australia would benefit more for a bowling coach.
Lee seems to bowl a better line than I have seen him before, so a coach would be better now, before he strays off again.
Gillespie is the main worry for Australia, a shadow of the last time I saw him, sounds unkind-but true.
I don't know if a coach could help a player like Gillespie, he has done it all, but it could do no harm.

The batting is good, so not a lot of worries there, Hayden has just lost form, not a lot a coach can do about that, or some coach would have done it for Vaughan.
Yes I do thing Australia could do with some good bowling coaches, because not long of, new players will have to be introduced into the Australian side.
