Don’t know if Agarkar was in charge when this happened but fast tracking of Shaw, trying experiments with guys like Dube, Backing of Sarfaraz despite him being thrown out early on from Mumbai team, making Iyer the captain.

 

Mumbai cricket has made some good moves

Guys like Chetan Sharma and most other players from 80s like Madan Lol etc should be kept away from selections.

 

Has anyone heard their Analysis?

 

Jadeja is the best hitter

 

300 is a match winning score

 

Dhoni is  must in LOIs as he a destructive bat

 

Ravi Shastri is a genius 

 

etc etc

Agarkar will get it. Gangulys and Gambhirs have started making their mark, whether you agree with it or not is a different thing. 

Next up selectors to be part of team meetings, strategic discussions and having visibility of playing 11. So Kohli and Bewda will slowly see their wings clipped.

 

And if Iyer continues like this, there is soon going to be an alternative choice as far as LOI captaincy is concerned.

He was banned for fixing wasn’t he?

He wasn't banned but during the match fixing inquiry, he was investigated and while he wasn't declared guilty, he wasn't given a clean chit either. Plus his attitude was considered a negative - laughing while India was loosing a match, etc. So he was given a cold shoulder and dropped when he was just 31-32, never to be picked again. He tried his best to gain some sympathy by pleading his innocence but without success.

Won't be shocked if he gets benched or rotated out soon for some silly reason or the other or for no reason at all.

One good thing Working  for Iyer is he plays for Mumbai  and is captain of the IPL team “mentored” by BCCI President. 
 

I think he has to really throw it away for TM

to start messing with him.

yes read somewhere,Ganguly Ponting both big fans of Shreyas Iyer..captaincy material and i think the DC Captain stint has matured him..

Bevda was having a go at Ganguly after 2-1 win over Aussies that this time we did not win against an 'inferior' team.

 

Our cricket politics is going to get more heated this year with guys like Ganguly, gambhir, agarkar pitted against Kohli,bevda, Dhoni...expect Kohli to throw more hussy fits - he's not going anywhere as captain till 2023 WC, if they remove him he will turn team atmosphere toxic and mess things up for new captain...our best hope is to get a better coach than bevda like a hesson, someone who can massage brat's ego while gently steering him in right direction..maybe bevda can be bought off by BCCI with a mega commentary contract to quit as coach?

My choice is Agarkar.

 

LSRK is good apart from the Srini connection.

 

Chetan Sharma is the worst.

 

Don't know much about Chauhan, but I don't think he has been connected to modern top level cricket.

 

Mongia is a tainted cricketer ... best to not select him.

if dhoni wants to comeback then no one will stop him coz captain also wants it

LSKR is the same guy who talked about dhawan future in ODI recently when no ex cricketer will do that. LSKR has a keen eye for wrist spinner need of the hour for LOI. LSKR also has a good eye for fast bowlers 

    If these 2 are selected , that will be good .  6 months before WC19, Ajit was of the opinion that we need to have a replacement for MSD .  To say that needs some steel. 

LSK will be alright .

That is one of the dumbest piece of cricket .... I think they even spoke about NRR when in a bilateral, NRR is usually not a factor on which a series is decided (NRR can be a factor in some cases where a bilateral series is tied say 2-2 with a NR game but only if NRR is agreed to be one of the deciding factors by the board as part of the series playing rules. Usually, it is not)

What I like about Siva is he does seem to like fast bowlers and does have a good knowledge of domestics. Also as long as he is on the panel and not the chief selector, don’t think there will be a problem with the Srini influence.

 

At max he will get 1-2 CSK players in and if those players are talented youngsters and not Dhoni/Raina types than I see no problem.

 

Agarkar for chief selector though :pray:
