He felt a bit robotic with it all. It wasn't working for him.
"Bruce Anthony Reid" is a retired Australian cricketer and was bowling coach of the Indian national cricket team on their 2003–04 tour to Australia.
He represented Australian cricket team/Australia in Test cricket between December 1985 and December 1992 and in One Day Internationals between January 1986 and March 1992. He played 27 Test cricket/Test matches for Australia taking 113 Test wickets at an average of 24.63 runs per wicket. He also played 61 one-day-internationals taking 63 ODI wickets. Reid played for Western Warriors/Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield.
Reid is 6'8" (203 cm) tall, the same height as former West Indies cricket team/West Indian fast bowler Joel Garner. Until the appearance of 7'1" (216 cm) tall Pakistan national cricket team/Pakistani left arm fast bowler Mohammad Irfan in 2010, Reid and Garner were the tallest players ever to have played international cricket.
Reid bowled left-arm fast-medium and had natural swing and awkward angle of delivery. He achieved steepling bounce from his great height and was very accurate. Reid was frequently injured and was rarely fully fit. Said injuries limited his international appearances though in the 1990–91 The Ashes/Ashes series v England cricket team/England. During this season he took 27 wickets in the five Test cricket/Test matches.
More Bruce Reid on Wikipedia.He's tall and quick and moves the ball around, and he's got the potential to play a big role in the Ashes.
I just felt if he was going to improve as a bowler he had to learn to get into the pitch and bang that ball into the deck and get as much bounce as he possibly could, even if he had to bowl a little bit short for a while until he got used to it, which is pretty much what he did in England.
