Assistant Coaches -- A good idea?

I just saw an article on Cricinfo where Ponting was saying how England have a good setup.
SO I began to wonder,

a) Could Pakistan improve drastically if we also hired two assitant coaches, namely a batting and bowling coach in our national team setup?
- Yes, I do believe that Pakistan could improve dramaticaly, if they had these two coaches, because alot of players could benifit from the individual attention that could be given them with more hands aboard the ship.
b) If so would who should they hire in both positions?
- I would say hire, Waqar Younis (Bowling Coach) and Saeed Anwar*/Javed Miandad (Batting)
c) And to what effect would they be helpful?
- I think they would be of immense help, sonsidering it would free up Bob alot to try new things with the team and bring new techniqes in while the player technical stuff can be handled by the assistant coaches.

* Saeed Anwar would be my first choice, mainly because he does not have periodical outbursts.
