Being on the road for years , he could spend some quality time with his family ..thats a good enough reason for a lot of people not to be involved ? you cant even imagine sachin doing something like coaching in Indian national setup forget doing it for u19 etc ( and its understandable when someone who has retired does not want to spend time away from family), for Dravid to do this is purely out of his love for the game, he will have other alternatives to make money even if he needs them at this point. True great Dravid Respect. Rasgulla 1 Link to comment
Vilander Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 His work is evident, even Kohli says this u19 team is different and more confident than his team that won. Great work from Dravid. Deserves all that is said positively in this thread. Rasgulla 1 Link to comment

Dravid is definitely the biggest post-retirement contributor to Indian cricket in India. Respect Low profile = low accountability now add high payday doesn’t seem too bad does it? not doubting his intention though Link to comment

Congress is to blame. Rasgulla 1 Link to comment

maniac Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Contribution would be If Dravid goes on to the villages and tribal areas for free and starts to coach kids there,I would tip my hat off to him. I think we are going overboard here...I rest my case. Gollum 1 Link to comment

I agree by taking this route does not place any higher than the others but it doesn't lessen him either. Personally as an outsider I appreciate them all for what they have contributed and still contribute in whatever form Link to comment

Contribution is usually a selfless service. Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Any discussion on Dravid or any other player gets veered towards Sachin. How did Sachin come into this discussion! maniac, MechEng and beetle 3 Link to comment
veer Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Dravid is second to none.. i respect that guy too much. When i heard he intentionally didnt select players that have already played last U19 cup so that he can give leadership roles to new guys, my respect for him rose.. Ultimately that's what it matters.. beetle 1 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Can't forget the win against Aussies after we were made to follow on. Dravid played an outstanding innings. End of the day he and VVS were put on saline drips though. His knocks in England were some of the best played by Indian batsmen in England. beetle and Vilander 2 Link to comment

Sachin wont spend time away from family and become a consultant or coach for a National team at any level, he might accept gigs with MI as it might not be much of a drag in terms of hrs for him. But dravid has to be appretiated in this regard, he could have comentated, did the occassional few weeks be on TV and had fun while making bucks, but he chose to slog it out with u19 team. Deserves praise. beetle 1 Link to comment

maniac Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) We lost to Nepal and Afghanistan in Asia Cup, we have lost in the finals of previous U-19 WC(I think Dravid was the coach then as well) We did extremely well this U-19 WC...infact India has reached the U-19 final 6 times. Now as far as compensation goes it is probably right there among the top cricketing coaches in the world. As far as accountability goes the U19 WC is probably what is the most scrutinized in this role...Do people even remember Asia Cup U19? Or any “outstanding A tour victories” in recent times? I don’t want to keep adding this caveat of how much I respect Dravid or prove anything...All I am asking is how does this account for “outstanding contribution” can someone answer that? Serious question @coffee_rules @beetle @jusarrived @sourab10forever How is Dravids contribution more than Tushar Arothe? who took Indian women’s cricket to great heights for probably not even 5% of the salary?
