Shastri scores a 57 (112) that's like batting 10 overs of dotballs! They are called dotovers in Shastri;s time! http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8039/scorecard/65129/australia-vs-india-12th-match-world-cup-1991-92/ Chasing 237, India lose by 1 run. Shastri 25(75) ...lots of dotovers. I remember Shastri being dropped from the team after playing such gems. He later defeneded himself in an interview saying he had given more than 100% in those matches. raki05 1 Link to comment
diga Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I remember photos of Shastri adorned with a garland of chappals in newspaper.. raki05, adi B, Suhaan and 1 other 4 Link to comment
SK_IH Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 i ll not blame shastri at all ,captain can remove him like he removed kumble if shastri was not doing his job but obviously shastri is doing the job he was hired for, @The Realist can throw more light on this subject Link to comment
NameGoesHere Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Shastri Hai Hai. The entire stadium used to get into it. Yeah that brings back come memories. Pain and Pleasure. Great pain because having to say 'Shastri Hai hai' meant that he was f*cking the Indian team in some way. Great pleasure because one had a legitimate opportunity to say 'Shastri Hai Hai' and few things were/ are better than that. zen 1 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 He was one boring cricketer to watch while batting. Could not rotate the strikes, hence his SR was pathetic. Link to comment

zen Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 I recall a time when Shastri was commenting early in his career .... crowds started chanting "hai hai" .... the foreign commenter did not understand what was going on. Shastri acted as if the crowd was cheering for him Link to comment

Switchblade Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Quote Dada who also featured on the same show Breakfast with Champions was surprised to hear his claims. He laughed when Gaurav Kapur explained what Shastri had said. Ganguly gave it back to Shastri with a pinch of salt and said that the Indian coach shouldn’t be interviewed early in the morning (indicating at his drinking habit) as it is tough for him to remember what he’s saying, it is best if the man is interviewed later in the day. “You don’t interview in the morning, don’t bring him (Shastri) on the breakfast show he wouldn’t remember what he said. When I meet him I will tell him what do you say on the breakfast show, that never happened I don’t know where he got that from,” Ganguly said while talking to Kapur. Link to comment
Switchblade Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Quote “We are not here to draw games or fill in the numbers. We play every game to win and take the game forward. And if in trying to win we lose a game, tough luck. As long as we win more than we lose, we are happy,” Shastri Link to comment

Brainfade Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 If our talented bats had 10% of Shastri's grit, we would have won this match going away. For all his faults, there's no questioning his ability to maximize whatever little batting talent he had. New guy and zen 1 1 Link to comment

For all his faults, there's no questioning his ability to maximize whatever little batting talent he had. But we are not expecting him to play now . As a coach do something like Gary ... Not just Bomabasting & Yes man job ! More than 3 years , ... slip catching so shoddy still ... seems no accountability for fielding coach. Serious batting ineptiude ... do not know why can't show grit to hang on.. when they had nearly 1.5 months to work it out. Atleast we should see real effort to hang in , get a brute , get out ...fine . No issues .. Bowlers even after 5 -6 years cannot get things right. Players , Team management both just carrying on.
