Brainfade Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Ravi Shastri on his role as head coach Quote "My role is to be in charge of the entire support staff, and to make sure that we get the boys in some great mental space to go out and express themselves with nothing else on their minds but to go out and play a brand of cricket which you have seen India play over the last three years: positive and fearless," Shastri said, two days before the SSC Test. When asked how exactly he does that, Shastri shot back: "That is a skill, that is why I am here and you are not there."

wanted_desi Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Is he always drunk? How on the earth this man landed a job as a coach, thats just beyond me. You can pick anyone from street, he can make jokes in dressing room and kiss Kohli's ass. What skills are he talking about? Does he think this Lanka team compares to team from last two decades?
Shunya Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 lol...isnt this how PR works...say things, write things, use media to spread good things about ourselves and hog credit for everything... At this rate,soon they will be filing a patent for "Aggression" saying we(Shastri and Kohli) invented this phenomenon of fearless cricket... sscomp32 1
sourab10forever Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 What ever it is ...the team seems happy with him. End of story. We can talk after the team performs bad. Mosher, express bowling, Laaloo and 3 others 6
NameGoesHere Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 That he an egotistical, glib talking, self -aggrandizing, glad handing, upwards sucking up individual operating way beyond his actual cricketing worth, and whose only ostensible merit for his new role is that the captain wants him, is obvious to me. Whether he's any good as a coach, we'll see. But his results better be better than f*cking good.
Pollack Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Ravi surely knows how to troll his haters. Chill guys! He wasn't the best choice but isn't the worst either. If he gets the results out of players then all is good. The only thing I didn't like in this whole coach selection drama is Captain's hegemony in selection of coach and his emphasis on promoting buddy culture rather than merit. In short shabby selection process from start to end.
