Developing young talent will be key to Shastri's success as Coach 2.0 - Harsha Bhogle


Recommended Posts

I don't understand how Harsha can be so dumb in his analysis!!!!

He is talking about something this regime 1.0 never cared about and perhaps did everything they could to kill the younger talent from rising.
And he bluntly ignores all that and makes a very innocuous statement that can never be real.

What Harsha should be doing is to discuss whether selecting Ravi Shastri as the India's coach a bad idea and so on so forth. Instead of saying even the faintest of the criticisms, he speaks as if everything is fine with that selection and then they should be doing something they never did.

Harsha says so much but says nothing at all.

On point. Harsha is doing some papering over the cracks. Not to mention Harsha makes his living as a commentator and he has to live with people like Shastri who he commented with and is possibly friends with also. Anything with Shastri as coach 1.0 or 2.0 is BS. He should never be with the Indian team and be with Harsha in the commenting booth shouting his way into viewer's ears.

At best they will move Indian cricket back to the 90s,where every team used to bash us like punching bags

ghanta banke reh jayenge hum:((

Let's see. India didn't have pace bowling options in the 90s other than Srinath much less bowling reserves. India didn't have quality spinners other than Kumble. Whenever India needed wickets, it was these two who were relied upon. India didn't have many world class batsmen but a one man army in Sachin. Dravid, Ganguly joined in the late 90s. BCCI didn't have enough money back then.

 

India is brimming with resources and producing players of high quality these days. Mayank would be a top bat if he gets opportunities. Yet he is in the sidelines. So not really a good comparison but I get your point. We are the world class team everyone praises but can only reach SFs and goes no further. A good comparison would be 90s SA team or the NZ teams of the past. Yet that is an insult to those teams because those teams didn't have the politics that this current Indian team is plagued with.

He has his own survival to worry about. He doesn't want to be an unwanted commentator after languishing in the wilderness for a long spell because some player wasn't happy with what he said or wrote.

Forget the SF, what have they done in test series in SA and England? If you are the #1 ranked side you have to either win the series or at the very least, lose it after a close contest. Neither of which happened. They made the same mistakes over and over and after the series loss, the only thing left to do was to clutch at straws. We were this close to winning, the scoreline makes it look bad but it isn't, we lost but we are proud of how we competed, blah blah blah.
