What did cause a flutter was news that former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan had been appointed bowling coach of the team, for this was not widely foreseen. Add to it the pedigree and tactual nous of Zaheer , India's fourth most successful bowler in Tests and ODIs, and this was a major announcement. He will rank as one of India's best fast bowlers and, for two periods in his international career, was on par with the best in the world. Think 2010, and fine bowling performances in Mirpur, Mohali and Durban.Twice in his international career Zaheer made the hard climb back to the top. He struggled in the second Test, but nine wickets in two Tests in New Zealand hinted at something more.
