DHAKA – Bangladesh’s new bowling coach Courtney Walsh says he wants to help his charges hunt in pairs much like he and Curtly Ambrose did for West Indies for many years.

“I don’t see myself too much as a coach as I see myself as a mentor,” Walsh said at a press briefing yesterday. “I have always tried to get couple of fast bowlers under my wing to mentor when I played for Gloucester, Jamaica or West Indies.

“Curtly Ambrose was one of them. So if I can get a second Ambrose from Bangladesh, I will be happy. When he came into the team, he looked up to me. We formed one of the best striking partnerships in world cricket.” (ESPNcricinfo/EZS)
