Cricket: Lillee to train fast-bowlers online

NEW DELHI: Australian pace legend Dennis Lillee will coach aspiring fast-bowlers through an online programme to be launched next year, media reports said. Lillee, who ran the MRF pace foundation in Chennai for 25 years before handing charge to compatriot Glenn McGrath, said he wanted to continue sharing his knowledge with young cricketers. “I still want to keep my hands in coaching,” the 63-year-old told the Press Trust of India, adding that he would launch the Dennis Lillee online coaching for fast bowlers next April. “The software that I will use will help me analyse problems faced by a bowler after receiving images of his run-up, bowling action and delivery stride. Every small detail of the image will be examined and an analysis made, which will then be sent back to the bowler.”
