Yes. I was in Leeds and at the same hotel where the team was staying.

Why are they stopping the fans to meet them?

The advantage of an Indian coach would be that they would know local upcoming talent better than a foreign coach. This would keep the current players on their toes due to increased competition.

 

Would be nice to have especially someone who has coached them at U19 level. If they won a WC under him, that would be great. If he was a renowned player in his time with a strong focus on fundamentals and good overseas record, that would be terrific. I would love to see such a coach for team India. 

 

(Jammy Sir, are you reading this )

Dravid refused the senior coaching job and is happy with the U-19 coaching which is fine.

I'll tell you what happened with me. It was breakfast time and the Indian team started coming to at the hotel restaurant. There was one of the Indian team's manager who was constantly looking at me and later when I was waiting for the elevator to come, he came to me and said that you can't take pictures of any players and I was like WTF I wasn't even trying to take any pictures or even meet the players

@Lala Bhai foreign coach corrupt system me kya jadu karega?Uske lie board selection committee fans aur players sabko committed rehna hoga behtar banne k lie. Sadly our board players were happy with one major victories like WC or CT kabhi Australia ya Windies ki tarah dominate karne ka nahi socha ya overseas me ja k jite ye soch nahi rahi ab priority home series aur paisa hai.

Sahi hai. That is main problem in subcontinent. Paisa rules subcontinent.

We don't need a foreign coach.

 

We need a coach who is not addicted to foreign liquor.

Siddhu and his Siddhuisms might anger our players to perform well

Of course, the team will be difficult to control when even failures like Karthik think that they are failures

[kosingh]

Time has come when the coach' salary is directly and only based on wins, losses and draws. Adjustments based on home, away and opponent rank.

There are anecdotes of how hard John Wright pushed the team during training and players have acknowledged his contributions in their growth. Heck, even Anjali Tendulkar apparently thanked him once for his role in SRT's performance.

Yes we definitely need one

 

1) Foreign coach will solely concentrate on India winning

2) They will not become friends with some of senior players .

3) They will not induldge in politics as BCCI consists ex players.Some ex players may hold grudge against each other because of their playing era.

[kosingh]

I have  solution.

 

Give Shastri 2 bottles of whiskey for every win. 1 bottle for every draw. And zero bottles for every loss.

He also grabbed Viru by his collar when he got out to a casual shot and came back with his casual attitude to the dressing room.

We need a captain who acknowledges the coach as well not disregard them

The likes of Rahul,Pant and if selected Shaw or Kuldeep can benefit a lot from proper cricketing coach than having a cheerleader coach giving them tips on which bar they should go to get wasted.

[Tattieboy]

What India needs is the BEST  coach , that maybe foreign or not but the #1 team with the wealthiest board SHOULD have the best and backed up by the Best Assistant coach, Batting coach , Bowling coach and Fielding coach for all three formats .

The Captain should be working with the Head Coach and NOT the coach  and his team working with the Captain .

The whole Team Management group should be disciplined, forward thinking, innovative, brave  and winners .

This is the kind of coach we need.

Probably is Shastri not being a foreign coach.  Problem is him not being a Coach.
