But at the end of the series it can be said that the pacers were very successful during the tour. Major Credit for this should be given to
Courtney Walsh
the Bowling coach of Bangladesh.

Cricket team.

"Walsh told me to bowl maiden overs. He also told me to bowl aggressively. I just tried according to this. He is also a very good human as well."

"Walsh have played in those conditions very often. He got five wickets hauls as well. He shared those experience with us, that really helped us during the series."
Subasish Roy was very true, Courtney Walsh got his career best figure there in New Zealand. That is why there would not have been anyone better to share the past experience to the young Tigers.
The record wicket-taker for the
in Tests with 519 scalps to his name, Walsh has performed a variety of roles since retiring from international cricket in 2001 including coaching and talent spotting work, especially with fast bowlers and mentoring teams.
