Saqlain Mushtaq has called on the ECB to appoint a full-time spin bowling coach to work with the England team and said he would love to fill the role.While Saqlain, the former Pakistan offspinner, is hardly impartial in such matters - he is currently fulfilling such a job on a brief consultancy basis - he makes a strong case both with his words and his record.Having joined up with the squad after the two Tests in Bangladesh, he has presided over a sharp improvement in the performance of Adil Rashid, in particular, and argues that the importance of spin bowling is undervalued compared to other disciplines.It is very important to have a full-time spin coach, Saqlain, who leaves the tour after the third Test in Mohali, said. If you look at the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket and the highest wicket-taker in one-day cricket, they are spinners.And it is not just in the subcontinent, but when you go abroad on the fourth and fifth day of the Test match the spinners are the main bowlers. The whole team relies on them so spin is a main thing and you have to have a full-time coach for the spin … not just for the main team but on the county circuit as well. I believe that.It is not just to look after the spinners; it is to help the batsmen as well as to how the spinners think about the batsmen.While the ECB does already employ various bowling coaches - former England offspinner Peter Such is the lead spin bowling coach - it has become common practice for the England team to be accompanied only by a fast-bowling coach when on tour. Mushtaq Ahmed, the former Pakistan legspinner, was also engaged on a part-time consultancy basis in the past but, recently, it has been an oddly overlooked area in an England set-up which boasts experts across many other fields.Its not just me saying this, Saqlain said, evoking recent comments by Graeme Swann. But I think a few weeks age Swanny mentioned it. Lots of experts mention it.It seems the ECB is listening. Andrew Strauss suggested last week that the ECB is open to the idea of engaging a spin-bowling coach on a more permanent basis - though perhaps not full-time - and that Saqlain was effectively in something of a trial period.He can only have impressed. Despite having had little time to work with the England spinners - Before the series you cant really open the technical side of things, he said - he has clearly built a strong rapport with them and inspired confidence. Rashid is the highest wicket-taker in the series with 13 - Shane Warne never took more than 14 in India - while Moeen Ali currently has a better strike rate (67) than R Ashwin (70.5).To know the players is the most important thing for me, Saqlain said. The first couple of days I started to build relationships. It is based on trust, truth, honesty and respect. This is my philosophy on working. The boys are passionate about cricket and they are very hard working guys, especially Moeen, Rash and Zafar Ansari. They are very keen to learn and are hard-working chaps.There wasnt too much technical stuff to begin with but we did work on tactical things and a lot of mental things. The preparation that goes into knowing the oppositions strengths and weaknesses and to know what is our strength. These are the basics.Im enjoying it. Every session, every conversation during the breaks. Im loving the support staff and everyone. It is like a family. It is a relaxed atmosphere, but a professional one. I would love to keep going and be involved in the future.I believe that things are going well and were on the same page. Im trying to bring them, myself and the captain on the same page. Things are going nicely.It seems the admiration is mutual. He describes Rashid as a legspinner with everything who can achieve the highest level within the game and Moeen as a bowler on the way to being one of the top three offspinners in the world.Adil is a very skilful guy and hes got a lot of variations, Saqlain said. Were trying to make things simple and then it is easier to deliver and easier to control. Were making it simple from a thinking and technical point of view. Im saying to him to concentrate on his strengths whatever his strengths are. And hes working on that.Moeen is a proper offspinner. The way he bowls, the energy, the shape of the ball, the control, everything. We shouldnt be thinking that he is not a proper offspinner. He is an allrounder and I would say he is equally good at batting and bowling.He is young and he hasnt bowled as much and had the mileage before. Hes improving and the more he works hard and the more he plays the longer version, the more mileage he will get. You can rate him in the top three offspinners in the world.Evan Engram Jersey .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

Rafael Benitez will continue to manage Newcastle and try and get them back into the Premier League The 56-year-old will lead Newcastle in Englands second tier next season, after the club gave him in writing the assurances he demands to continue in the St James Park hot-seat.The former Chelsea and Liverpool boss has been won over by the groundswell of support for him from the Newcastle fans, even though he failed to stave off relegation.An hour after a packed St James Park sang his name throughout a rather bizarre season-ending 5-1 thrashing of Tottenham, Benitez was given the promise of full backing by club owner Mike Ashley. But the Spaniard wanted it in writing. Benitez waves to the Newcastle supporters after a 5-1 win over Tottenham What followed was a succession of meetings between Sports Direct tycoon Ashley, managing director Lee Charnley and Benitez himself, as the finer details of a watertight contract were drawn up by lawyers.Benitez effectively made it clear to the St James Park power-brokers in the hours after that final-day win over Spurs that he would be willing to stay - provided he was delivered the assurances he felt would ensure he gets them back up to the Premier League at the first time of asking.What the Spaniard wanted, in essence, was to guarantee a structure was put in place that would mean if he made a mistake it would not cost Newcastle promotion.Although Benitez has managed in the lower leagues of Spain in his early days as a coach, he has never experienced the ultra-competitive, high-intensity English Championship. Benitez is expeccted to bring in a number of summer signings As Newcastles fans became increasingly worried about the wall of silence from their club last week, lawyers from both parties were working on a contract to ensure Benitez didnt suffer the same fate as some of his predecessors, who at times had to work with their hands tied.ddddddddddddThe former Real Madrid manager, who was keen to take a job in the north of England to be close to his family on The Wirral, wanted in writing the full control of transfers to a squad that will need overhauling in the years to come.Benitez also wanted inked promises that he could bring in his own scouting staff, and assurances of a budget for this summer and then again next January. A budget that will be the biggest in the Football League.This is a team whose net spend was second only to Manchester City last season; Mike Ashley will have to open his wallet once more. Rafa Benitez wanted written assurances of a budget for this summer and then again next January. A budget that will be the biggest in the Football League. Keith Downie He will also have to rip up the entire template thats to blame for taking Newcastle down.It is also thought that Benitez will make use of the loan market this season, with high-up contacts across Europe willing to allow their players to play in front of Newcastles passionate support.But aside from the written assurances, it was the full backing of those 50,000 St James Park fanatics that twisted Benitezs arm - and allowed him a vision of what can be achieved at this sleeping giant of a football club.They sang his name throughout the 5-1 win over Spurs. Benitez could at times be seen gazing out in bewilderment that this was coming from fans of a side who just four days earlier had been sent spinning down to the Championship. Benitez has asked for written assurances from the club before extending his stay Those same fans celebrated with gusto when news filtered through that Benitez was on his way to Tyneside on Wednesday afternoon to complete the paperwork and be unveiled for a second time.The arrival of Benitezs own scouting network will most likely mean an end to Graham Carrs tenure at the club.Carr, the man who brought Yohan Cabaye, Matthieu Debuchy and Cheick Tiote to Newcastle, was lauded by Ashley at first but the recent arrivals of Remy Cabella, Florian Thauvin and Seydou Doumbia have cast doubt over his eye for a player.Benitez promised the fans he would make his decision within a fortnight. Hes done just that, with three days to spare.He wanted to leave some time on the off-chance a bigger club came calling. There was interest from a couple of clubs in Spain, but neither got anywhere. Reported overtures from Everton didnt emerge, and Benitez pledged his future to Newcastle. A future that hes mapped out so that only a third of it will be spent in the Championship.Also See:Benitez to stay at NewcastleFrom the Bernabeu to Burton [url=http://www.authenticwholesalejerseys.net/es mapped out so that only a third
