gattaca Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) MUMBAI: Former India batting legend Sachin Tendulkar stepped in this week to finally resolve the matter surrounding appointment of India's new coach in place of Anil Kumble, following which cricketer-turned-commentator Ravi Shastri finally agreed to send in his application for the role. Shastri, who is holidaying in London, had been categorical so far that he "wouldn't stand in the queue" for the job, underlining the fact that he had been deliberately ignored last year despite doing a commendable job. Speculation had been rife over whether the ex-India all-rounder would once again come to the table with his CV and a presentation. READ ALSO: Ravi Shastri joins five others for coach's job TOI has learned that it is Tendulkar, who too is holidaying in London with his family, spoke with Shastri to consider his stand once again. As member of the three-man Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), Tendulkar took into account the fact that India skipper Virat Kohli too wanted Shastri on board and therefore acted in time to save BCCI - which has been coping criticism in its handling of the matter - the blushes. http://m.timesofindia.com/sports/cricket/news/tendulkar-steps-in-convinces-shastri-to-apply-for-team-india-coachs-post/articleshow/59353962.cms True God of cricket Edited June 28, 2017 by gattaca Link to comment

You are a member of the committee that decides who will be the coach. Now you ask another person to apply basically he is saying his vote will go for shastri. He will be biased by selecting shastri over others. wanted_desi, sscomp32, Sandeep99 and 8 others 11 Link to comment
sandeep Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I have no issues with Shastri taking over again as a 'caretaker' for the short-term. But don't want him there beyond 2017. This team needs a change in tactical thinking and planning. And the change has to be in place at least a year ahead of the world cup, so that the team gets opportunities to get proficient at executing the updated approach. We are preparing to fail for the WC by failing to prepare. Link to comment

Popular Post beetle Posted June 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2017 Bloody mazaak bana rakha hai! Ganguly convinced Kumble to apply last time and now Tendulkar convinces Shastri to apply. Next time Laxman can have his way. Why the hell do professional coaches even send the resumes to these unprofessional people . So disappointed with the unprofessional behaviour of these ex cricketers. They have been given a responsibility considering their status as legends in the game and they go around plays dost dost. No wonder the bcci babus and politicians can have such a tight hold over cricket in India. If the news is true ...then it is time these three unprofessional maharathis are relieved of their responsibilities. Ironhide, Forever Indian, SecondSlip and 12 others 15 Link to comment
maniac Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Is there any upside from this whole coach deal? lets look at the list of Indian legends who have come out looking like idiots and douchebags from this whole deal Sachin,Saurav,Laxman,Kohli,Kumble,Sehwag,Ravi Shastri,Sunil Gavaskar.

You forgot that VVS has already voted for Tom Moody - his IPL colleague. After all, personal relationships ko maintain karnaa padtaa hai. But a question for you - if you want to relieve these maharathis of their responsibilities, who would you rather have in their place and trust them with the choice? Diana Eduljee and old man Guha? Or the likes of Sharad Pawar, Rajeev Shukla, Anurag Thakur etc? Ironhide and sscomp32 2 Link to comment

You need a stronger personality...Ganguly is the only guy in the CAC who looks like he can stick to his guns. Tendu_10 and Vilander 2 Link to comment
