It might not be as simple as that. If it were then anybody almost could be a great fast bowler

There is bowling action : Front On , Side On , Open chest

nothing technical at all by age 16

Australia , England, New Zealand and Pakistan churning out Fast bowlers

including Lefties with speed guns passing 90mph.

I don't know if he was but I suspect he was not. I think I understand what Phil means when he said he wanted someone more technical.

I don't think Ambrose really studied the mechanics of fast bowling. He was just a gifted bowler who never needed any coaching. It is difficult for great players generally to succeed in coaching

The question is what bowling improvements have you seen in the last 3 years and in my view....none. To that end Sir Curtley did a poor job.

However he would have served as an inspiration, no doubt, but Simmons clearly want to see technical improvements.
