Perhaps some people may find this political drama entertaining but it makes me sick to my stomach and shows how unprofessional some people are. Indian cricket is becoming like Pak cricket. Agree. Go with Moody. Can't see an Indian keep himself out of the politics. wanted_desi 1 Link to comment
renjith Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Very poor from Sachin being in the selection panel and then asking shastri to apply. Even if he didn't guarantee shastri selection, this atleast means he will be baised while considering shastri selection. Vilander, beetle, Tendu_10 and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Khota Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I am losing respect for Tendulkar at a very rapid pace. He needs to give one good reason why Shastri makes a good coach. beetle, Vilander, rageaddict and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment

He likes Ravi Shastri, but might gel even better with Moody. I think Moody will be the best option. But at the end of the day, whoever becomes, should be someone who keeps the team happy. I was seeing Ashwin's "What the duck" episode with Vikram Sathaye where he seems to talk in a way that team was kind of fine with Ravi Shastri, even though he doesn't directly say it. At the end of the day, whoever is the coach, players should feel comfortable in approaching him and not just the other way around. If Shastri does that or Moody, i don't care as long as the team is not broken like it got under Chappell. express bowling 1 Link to comment

When you set up the entire premise on that bro I want Moody/Kohli 2019, not Shastri/Kohli. My only concern like anyone is that Shastri might pick many Mumbaikars ahead of other deserving players. If that does not happen, I am fine, and I am sure many others would be too. But just because of this nepotism doubt, I want Moody ahead of Shastri. Hopefully you got your answer. Link to comment

Shastri is not the selector and with Kohli the last thing you want to do is play selector...we all saw what happened when Kumble wanted to play Kuldeep over Mishra Link to comment

Even if Shastri has good man-management/bonding skills, the role of a coach goes beyond that to strategies, tactical input, etc. Do you believe Moody, Shastry are on the same level? Link to comment
maniac Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Also what is this Mumbaikar theory....seriously??? The only 2 Mumbaikars in the side are Rahane and Rohit and both pretty much pick themselves...so unless Sandhu suddenly pops up and opens the bowling I will call bs on that theory Link to comment

I did not get where that reply came from, sorry care to explain?? You want Shastri as coach that means or no? I have said, with Kohli/Moody, things will remain better, are you questioning that Moody will be a bad coach and combo with Kohli? Sorry, did not get what exactly you meant by that reply, whether you are backing Shastri or do not want him. Link to comment

Not convinced about that. Ditto about Rohit in Tests. I agree both can be in squad of15 perhaps. Link to comment
kosingh Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Intersting Shastri interview from a while ago. Before the current drama. But gives you an insight into how he thinks. My favorite part of the interview "I don’t know what the Indian way is but I won’t lick a** to play. I won’t lick a** to do anything in life. What you learnt from the game. You played it hard. Only thing that kept you going was that if you scored runs and took wickets that is what you are. Not because of an X or a Y." http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/ipl-2016-ravi-shastri-interview-commentator-those-days-i-was-at-night-club-at-oberoi-till-2-am-next-day-100-then-back-at-oberoi/ Link to comment

I just believe foreign coach will be a better fit for India at this time, with Kohli. Moody did well with Lankan youngsters and seems well respected by SRH camp and knows how to use the players, and from that experience, I think our LOI team will do better under Moody when we go overseas.

Kohli really wants Shastri- based on reports everywhere. Should Moody Kohli work based on what we used to think a year back- Aboslutely yes Will it work in the current environment-NO Even if they "make it work" will it be effective-NO Edited June 28, 2017 by maniac Vk1 1 Link to comment

Also depends on whether Kohli and co like him I guess; we dont' need another Kohli-Kumble spat. Link to comment
