Sridhar gets the job ahead of Rhodes. This is ridiculous.

What are Jonty’s coaching credentials? Great players don’t always make good coaches. Has he made any poor fielder better during his Mumbai Indians stint?

Sridhar probably got the job because he must be willing to work for  lesser salary - not that BCCI cannot afford Rhodes services as Fielding coach. Or perhaps Sridhar is favored because he has more contacts in Indian cricket than Rhodes .

I repeat my qn. Has Jonty ever proved his coaching credentials to be better than Sridhar? Greg Chappell was a legendary batsman but one of the worst coaches ever-both for India and Australia. So unless Jonty has made any significant improvements in Mumbai Indians’ fielding, I don’t think BCCI has any incentive to pick him ahead of Sridhar. And even Mumbai Indians chucked him out.

What are drunken master's credentials, apart from drinking of course?

I am not aware of what coaching certifications either of them hold, so o cannot comment on the qualifications of both. However, Rhodes imo is better suited to this role as he was clearly the best fielder and he can educate Indian cricketers about the finer aspects of Fielding techniques as compared to Sridhar.

Better fielder doesn’t mean that you would be a better coach. Because not everyone has similar physical abilities and you have to define programs for each individual. Greg Chappell was a better batsman than most of India’s coaches but he couldn’t impart the same to Indian players.

Coaching is a completely different ballgame than playing and needs different set of skills.

So because Chappell failed, Rhodes is also going to be failure?

Thats why I asked whether he proved anything during his stint as Mumbai Indians fielding coach? Did he ever make any poor fielder better? If he was good, why did Mumbai Indians release him? Definitely not because of his fees.

Rhodes as a fielding coach is overrated. I don't remember any team's fielding improving drastically due to his coaching.

[vishalvirsingh]

he definitely deserves the job..most fit candidate in the world unless he is lethargic n has any attitude issues...

he was better than jaddu as a fielder ..he did save atleast 30 to 40 runs in each match.

Need to appoint some Strong Australian coach also so we dont choke this time

Exactly. He hasn’t done anything remarkable in his stint as Mumbai Indians coach.

Exactly. On the other hand Sridhar has turned india's fielding around back to 90s.
