maniac 21,709 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I don’t see any one in that dressing room full of boy next doors deliver that sports movie type of speech to motivate and turn these middle class nerds into tigers. Only one man comes to mind, there is only one alpha out there I think Shastri shut his haters for now. Ravishastri4life Kothili, Adamant, Norman and 4 others 1 3 2 1 Link to post

nevada 3,656 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Shastri is a one trick pony with just bombastic talk. He must have pep talked a tad too much to get the boys way too pumped up and collapse for 36 in Adelaide. maniac, Clarke, Real McCoy and 4 others 1 1 4 1 Link to post

So you want to give blame for 36 all out but you are not willing to give him credit for the turn around. Kothili, TheWall and OpeningBatsman 1 1 1 Link to post

putrevus 5,530 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Shastri has done exceptional job with the talent he has been given by the system.He is the guy made most of his talents. He has not been afraid to fail , by chosing guy Dhawan over Rahul in SA. Did he make some selection mistakes yes, he did ,he also made this team competitive in all conditions.Bigger question needs to be asked is Indian system generating good enough batsmen.Where are the batsmen in last decade. Kohli/Sharma came in before 2010 and Gill now. Jimmy Cliff and zubinpepsi 2 Link to post

No matter what the situation, all he's got is big talk. Different situations require different strategies, you can't just pep talk to victory all the time. Link to post

Even Rahul, Mayank and Vihari showed promise, can't write-off their careers yet. Just like how this tour is busting the Kohli built this attack and made india competitive myth, I hope shastri myth is also busted later this year if his contract isn't renewed. Link to post

What nonsense are you talking? This is Kohli's team there is no myth behind it. You answered your own question when did Rahane, Puajara emerge.Nobody is writing anybody careers off .Since when Pandya is great talent in tests. Pant is WK. Link to post
Yoda-esque 2,197 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I actually like Shastri..He sounds bombastic and probably is bombastic and arrogant,but he does have a great cricketing head on his shoulders.He maximized his capabilities and rose above his talent. Link to post
