nevada Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Finally the tide is turning, with Kaptaan fool's inability to win ICC tournaments and blunders in selection coming under the scanner Edited September 11, 2021 by nevada Adamant, sorak, express bowling and 2 others 2 3
wanted_desi Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 Hell Yeah, if True. I have eyes on bigger prize: WC 2023, with Rohit in charge, i have no doubts we should have way better chances. Gollum, nevada, express bowling and 1 other 4
New guy Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 Which is why i said that book signing was something which is giving BCCI more excuses now

prudent_kreeda Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 I bet there are many in the team who have feelings of being hard done by Kaptaan . Its due to the clout he enjoys they fear for their career else majority would prefer someone else as Captain.. The moment Board puts its foot down , his days as captain will be numbered at least in one dayers . Things to watch out for - 1) Board's implicit approval to selectors to select team of their choice and not taking orders from Kaptaan for player inclusion of those not in original group selected. 2) Do not select any of Kaptaan's favored Chelas even in 15 or 18 who have been in the team for long with mediocre performances so that there is no chance of selecting them in XI and benching deserving players . 3) Appointing a head coach who is not a yes man but someone who has a major say in selection of XI and also someone who will directly report to higher ups of any cases bias & highhandedness with players . 4) Sack all the support staff who are undeserving and bootlickers of Kaptaan - All except B Arun.. From what we see recently 1) There are many voices coming out from BCCI sources which indicate Kaptaan has gone overboard in some matters . Feel opinions of senior players are being listened to more now. 2) Selection committee has stood their ground where demand from Kaptaan was not as per protocol . 3) Non selection of Collar muncher & Thigh Slapper even in the 18 may be the sign of things to come in weeding out favoritism and bias in selection of XI. For confirmation of this trend - 4) Need to see what happens to undeserving support staff . 5) Appointment of Head coach who is not a yes man but a man of standing. Is MSD role a pointer towards changing times ?

Lone Wolf Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 Although selectors have given Kohli a great squad.. I feel he will mess it up badly when matters. However he has 3 clutch players in his arsenal like Surya Pant & Kishan which we didn't have in last 2 T20 WC's but then again we didn't had good WC preparation.. So more chances Kohli will be sacked & enhancing our legacy as biggest chokers ever.

Only exception is Sachin who could pretty much do whatever he wanted, if he wanted too.

There is no need to sacrifice another world cup for doofus. asterix, raki05, Turning_track and 1 other 4
adi B Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 Just sack the coach and the captain for that book launch farce. Should be a good enough excuse to sack the jumping jack duo nevada, Turning_track and raki05 3
Swag Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 This has made life difficult. Want India to win the WC Want Kohli's influence to be curtailed/Rohit to be white ball captain Lord and Turning_track 2

He never got the players he wanted, there are pictures from sports magazines where in team selections he was sitting facing other way Not only team selection, selectors used to decide batting order for him. Taking an example, his request for a spinner on west indies tour, fearing injuries for fast bowler was rejected. Then pacers got injured mid tour and a spinner was flown in later He was sacked even before an year in first stint, all full of overseas tests only. Azhar was reinstated despite him having shady matches and suspicious run outs (with management even ahving enquiries about those run outs). One of the excuses selectors gave was that now azhar was a married man so would be more mature for selecting him captain second time Azhar got caught but its clear almost everyone from selectors to management was involved in fixing that time sandeep 1

The Realist Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 All good in theory but likelihood it will happen is minimal. Rohit Sharma though is not exactly a spring chicken. Older than Kohli and that belly ain't getting any smaller. asterix 1
Gollum Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 Just do it already, one man can't hold Indian cricket to ransom. Let the clown keep test captaincy for now, make Rohit captain in both white ball formats. asterix 1

Gollum Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 If true, I hope we don't win the T20 WC. Sad that we have to sacrifice an ICC trophy to kick this clown out but so be it. Another T20 WC next year and a home WC. Plus WTC F, chance to win all three thus holding trophies in all 3 formats at the same time. Norman and asterix 2
adi B Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 I am 100 percent sure if kohli fails to win the wt20 he'll be sacked from captaincy right away in white ball format . The selectors, Ganguly just waiting for the right moment to strike the hammer
Real McCoy Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 But my spidey sense is telling me something's afoot here. this is an attempt to calm down fans' dislike of Kohli the captain and get some eyeballs on the topic but I don't see it occurring. I'll believe it when I see it Vk1, sorak, sarcastic and 2 others 1 4
