gattaca Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 More MCD burgers comming your way.. Quote NEW DELHI: Former Team India director Ravi Shastri on Monday applied for the chief coach's post of the Indian cricket team, staking strong claims of returning at the helm.Shastri said that he has submitted his application for the post. The former India captain had worked with the team for 18 months as its director. His contract ended at the conclusion of ICC World T20."Yes, I have applied for the chief coach's post today morning. I have emailed all the requisite documents that were asked for in the advertisement," Shastri said.Asked if he has prepared any presentation or roadmap, the veteran of 80 Test matches said: "Whatever is required by the BCCI , I have provided them. If you ask me whether I am confident or not, all I can say is that my job was to apply for the post and I have done that. I cannot comment on anything else."Shastri had earlier said in an interview that he considered the "18 months with the Indian team as his most memorable experience" in his three-decade long association with the Indian cricket in various capacities. During his tenure as team director, the notable achievements have been a 3-0 T20 whitewash of Australia, ODI series win in England, away Test series win against Sri Lanka after 22 years, Test series win against South Africa at home, apart from the semi-final finishes in the 50-over and T20 World Cups. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/top-stories/I-have-submitted-my-CV-for-head-coachs-post-Ravi-Shastri/articleshow/52623267.cms tweaker 1 Link to comment

The Realist Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 So the choices are Useless Patil or Cheerleader Shastri? Embarrassing that no real coaches seem interested in applying. Lannister, tweaker and vvvslaxman 3 Link to comment
zen Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) From what I recall Shastri wasn't interested in long term coaching assignment so it is surprising that he applied. May those who do not want Patil to be the coach urged Shastri to apply Anyways, ideally you would want someone who started playing in the 90s as the coach Dravid appears to be busy. Warne may not prefer long term commitment. Kumble, I don't know what he is currently doing. May be Srinath (fast bowlers will be encouraged and get guidance) or Nassir Hussain can be roped in. Gilly is a good option too. I always liked his captaincy Edited June 6, 2016 by rett tweaker 1 Link to comment

gakgupta Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 This guy can make very very good coach.....he knows how to utilize limited resources.... Link to comment
Jersey #10 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 The next coach will either make or break Indian cricket's next decade. We're going to potentially see several changes in the team in both LOI and Tests. It has got to be Dravid. I mean come on... how does the management not realize this? This guy is probably the best option in the world - much less India. Link to comment

A coach who understands importance of fast bowling and creates a culture and environment that support fast bowlers and that help them improve quickly. Seems like they are leaning towards an Indian coach. Starting with the requirement of Hindi in the initial job advertisement. That was changed to any Indian language. Which was then changed to "knowledge of any Indian language preferred but not required". Also the comments from Dhoni that he'd like to see someone who understands Indian culture. And the tendency to directly fix the weaknesses of the previous coach (the biggest criticisms of Fletcher as I recall was that several players could not understand him and an interpreter was needed). Moreover let's not forget that Indian patriotism or at least faking Indian patriotism seems to be at a 20 year high. Link to comment
