BeautifulGame Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Certainly not , that's your opinion . you do not speak for the sport nor can you draw conclusions . It might be the sad reality of Indian cricket but hopefully that changes soon . Opinions aren't facts Ofcourse it is. It's fact not opinion. GoldenSun 1 Link to comment

What your understanding of cricket is your opinion of the sport not a fact which can be proven It's not understanding but reality of the nature of sport that is cricket. Tell me what a coach can do once the players enter the field ? It's the captain who controls the team. Much different from a sport like football. That's why in cricket ,Captain is the most important. People talk of great captains in cricket right from Brearly , Benaud , Chappell Imran to Border Ranatunga Dhoni Fleming. Not coaches because cricket as a sport is dependent on the efficiency of the captain .Not coach. GoldenSun and Shunya 1 1 Link to comment

If anything IPL just reiterates how important good captain is. Warne Dhoni Rohit and Gambhir are living proof of that.Gilly as well in the past. Great captains win you trophies .

Khota Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Times they are changing. Look at NFL quarterbacks. On their wrists they have 50 plays taped from which they can read. There is computer simulation generated pplay which are signalled to the qb and he reads and calls it. captain cannot do it all. he will panic and make mistakes. Coaches need to do it not captains. They should have inputs. If you are making decisions on the field it is too late. All decisions should be made beforehand. GoldenSun 1 Link to comment

In any sport , not just cricket , coaches do not enter the playing field so this isn't exclusive to only cricket. It is for any sport A coach has many roles - as an educator / a mentor / psychologist , teacher , problem solver , an advocate , expertise etc... He defines the roles of the players , whats expected of them , gives them the direction. Similarly how a student goes and writes an exam - the teacher doesn't - at the end of the day It's the teacher who's guidance , direction and knowledge differentiates one student's performance from the other.

Yeah that is illegal in Cricket and any captain /player does that will likely be banned for cheating. Link to comment

Again missed the point. In football , a coach can continue to communicate with the players from the side line throughout the match and make impact through substitutions which can impact.Captain has zero impact in the field apart from leading from the front. That's why cricket is different. Vilander 1 Link to comment

Kumble gave results , his cricketing acumen is well respected and He needs to let go because Kohli's ego is too big to handle. I do not foresee Warne for example being fired if he and Smith does not get along . It's a shame and superstar culture in Indian and Pakistani cricket is well known and condemned sorry players gave results not Kumble his playing days got over,he sat behind the computer and gave throwdowns and dressdowns to players. Good coach but not more important than captain and players. Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I had reservations of Indian coach for Indian team. Too many with crab mentality. They would rather listen to a gora than a fellow Indian. Our best results started to come under Wright first. Even Kapil Dev had a tough time with SRT to be a coach. Ravi Shaz sipping Whiskey worked better because he toed Dhoni's line all the time and is BCCI's chaatu. AK probably rubbed the wrong with BCCI babus as well, as Kohli who seems to be a my-way-or-highway type of guy. Good luck with better results winning abroad in SA, Eng and Aus. Link to comment

Same players who when had 2007 world cup and meltdown during Chappell put all the blame on him despite having Sachin/ Saurav / Dravid and Ganguly in the team ? certainly no lack of talent in that side.

Players are more hard to develop than a coach, so obviously the coach steps down, what part of this is not clear. GoldenSun 1 Link to comment

Cricket it's a little different...the coach can plan at the start or send an odd message, but captain has to make on the spot decisions. Its not like basketball or NFL where they have time to regroup every 4-5 minutes. Coach can work if he is given a Andy Flower like power where he can make team related decisions. apart from Flower the only guy who I remember who was part of a similar model was Greg Chappell and we know how it turned out. Andrew Strauss I believe has a special position too now but I doubt we have anyone right now of a big enough stature who can get in that role but still tough ask for the Indian setup. Power lies in the hands of current cricketers or BCCI comprised of powerful politicians or businessman who handle the money aspects. Rest in between are only namesake positions Link to comment

You don't get the point because your agenda / opinion is pre set so I'll try simplify it for you because whatever is being said it quite large for your comprehension. You are undermining the importance of coach in cricket and aren't giving the coach the credit for how the team does. Thus , in a point form for you When team does bad = Coach was blamed = Chappell When team does well = Coach should get the credit = Kumble Comprende ? Vilander 1 Link to comment

Rest in between are only namesake positions That's the sad part because regardless of the sport , The Indian and Pakistani team and cricket culture always has been very superstar / big name dominant. Focus and spotlight has always been on the captain only. The Indian and Pakistani setup is a status quo system where Coaches are mere puppets who should just take the back seat and speak when spoken to and just polish the captain's shoes. If this isn't a system which is designed to cater to superstar's ego , then what is ? This is encouraging an environment which is highly tilted in the favor or captain and them running the show . Kumble was one guy who if given the right support by the administrators could have changed it but his loss is horrendous for Indian cricket all due to Kohli's fairy ass unable to handle any critcism or dicscipline Kumble might have tried to introduce.

Kumble got credit for his good work as coach ok, now players do not want him as coach, players got more of the credit for their good work so their decision stands, pretty simple. Coach goes not the players. Link to comment
