Keep Indian legends away from Indian Cricket decision making.

[maniac]

Let them commentate or act in nominal consultant roles.

 

I have no faith in Dravid either.

 

This whole mentor idea was 100% Ganguly’s. This is the same guy who wanted Pujara/Rahane in the WC.

 

Sachin is a good analyst but he will get bored in an analyst role and he is also another “process” guy. He will not take up these roles.

 

Kumble as we saw with India and Punjab sticks to the same tried and tested formula.

 

Gambhir is ok but if you listen to him closely, his criticism is bang on and that appeals to us but his solutions are again very old school and regressive.

 

VVS/Sehwag/Zak the lesser said the better.

 

Listen to these guys commentate and give their insights and analysis. They are outdated and they are stuck with what worked for them and not what will work in the future.

 

0 vision.

 

Dont get your hopes up with Dravid. He might have worked well at the junior level but the senior team like many coaches and captains have found out in the past is a different ball game.

The 2000s stars are even more pathetic with their mentality

Dravid is ok for test,with so much financial muscle BCCI must hire a LOI batting coach

McCullum is my choice

Other names please?Throw some names forum members

David won't fix jackshyt instantly. He is step above the leech but let us not forget he pushed Binny on us.

I rather have two coaches and three captains so that decision making is better. Old players dont have progressive mindset.

Look at England, they hired consultants from baseball

 That is the way to go for T20

Need attitudinal shift. Can't play ODI in T20.. Most of these stalwarts haven't played that many T20s or are out of sinc with today's world.

Bring a Eng/NZ coach

Dravid is very shrewd and is underrated as captain.

 

His big challenge will be managing the egos. If superstars can give him enough authority and respect,he'll be an asset.

Which is why you need a young captain without baggage with such a coach.  No rohit please, make iyer or pant or anyone captain and have him be under dravid. Wean out the oldies slowly

As i see it , Dravid's influence would be better than Ravi's in Test matches and to a little extent  in 50 Overs but  not suitable for T20.  His method would be more with conservative style than unorthodox . So not expecting anything in T20. Only plus could be talented players may get more chances without too much chop & change . But at A level he has this keeda of playing everyone in 15 .18. Hope this does not happen at senior Level.

More worry is of other guys -Bowling Coach - If its Paras & Batting coach - Vikram .

VVS - Ganguly should remember a great batsmen may not be a good coach , and IPL suggests VVS is not a good Coach.

 

If these selections happen you get a feeling that there is no selection which happened looking at merit . Ye bus Shifarasi thofa to co players  exception  may be

only Dravid. We  will run the circus for another 2 years and then they will say we need coaches  who can bring us to modern level in short formats.

 

Biggest gap would be pace bowling area from NCA to India senior level. BCCI should have engaged atleast 1 out & out  former Pace bowler  from other nations at NCA , A level & India Senior level who have shown good results.

 

It is amazing that majority of the recent U19 are mostly on injured list and hardly played 10+ matches over a 2-3 year period. There is not much noise made as to why so many getting injured again & again. BCCI seems to be sleeping .

Legend status shouldn't mean an automatic selection for coaching job. It is flawed thinking and dragging our cricket team backwards. Underated cricketers like Abhishek Nair, Pravin Amre etc have been very good coaches. Amre is very impressive, specifically focusing on developing six hitting ability in T20. He has done very good work with Mumbai Indians as well as T20. He is the type of coach to look for - someone without legendary baggage, pragmatic, and in tune with the needs of modern cricket.

Just because you are a good player does not mean you are a good coach. Does not work that way.
