Sunil Gavaskar tears into BCCI selection committee, calls them ‘lame ducks’

[nevada]

It's about time someone with stature speaks out against the undeserved clout Kohli enjoys. The kind of freedom that Kohli has enjoyed, is only justified if he delivers results to back it up.

 

"Speaking of lame ducks, the Indian selection committee appears to be one. After the reappointment, he (captain) gets invited to the meeting for his views on the selecting the players for the team. By bypassing the procedure, the message that goes out is that while the players like Kedar Jadhav, Dinesh Karthik get dropped after below expectations performance, the captain continues despite much below par expectations where the team did not even reach the finals," the stalwart wrote, taking a clear dig at the powers that Virat Kohli currently enjoys in the system.

Split captaincy is only way forward

Good.........more need to come forward and put pressure on BCCI to change captain 

[retired_hurt]

I thought Chika was the worst chairman of selectors, but this msk prasad is making him look like an Einstein.

Sunil has hit nail on the head but let us not forget when it came to Bombay players he was also very biased.

[vvvslaxman]

True.

 

1983 world cup win by Kapil Dev

1984 bad loss against almighty west indies

lost his captaincy

1984-95 Gavaskar captain

 

That is not the case anymore. There is no accountability. Default captain. Indian team is not RCB tolerating a captain for 7 or 8 years with no result. There they care about brand. WHy is INdian team caring about brand.

[ShoonyaSifar]

He wants Kohli dropped as captain which is absolutely right but not a word about Dhoni's below par performance?

He is too much of a health freak and brand conscious to do that

Nothing wrong in Rohit being captain in short format. SG is absolutely right.

Chika might sound casual and unpolished, but he picked a world cup winning squad. The current bunch of selectors allowed themselves to be utterly bullied by Kohli. They did have good ideas like bringing in the spin twins, talking positively about Pant and Gill, etc but weren't forceful due to their own light weighted cricketing resumes and awe of Kohli's stature.

And in 1985, Gavaskar stepped down as captain after winning the world championship of cricket. Stepping down right after winning a major championship is something you can never, ever expect from the current generation of entitled players.
