bowl_out Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 This approach seems very different from what he brought to the table with Delhi Daredevils.. He was always eager to make changes even if they weren't required.. Now, it is the exact opposite. Link to comment

Most of the players in Indian are already superstars and have to be handled differently. What are his beliefs, what exactly does he want to turn this team into.Why is he turning this team into trundler fest again. All these So called superstars are donkeys now and should be shown door.

nikrulz Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 He was forced to take up this position by BCCI (If I am remembering correct?). He wanted to continue as the NCA head. nevada 1 Link to comment

They will be shown door sooner than later .It is about Dravid , can he impose his will and views on the team.What is his plan for the team.So far he has gone back to trundlers in Odis, Link to comment
putrevus Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Ganguly is the biggest culprit here.He like many morons on here thought winning odi series and winning all those home test series are for nothing.Shastri though did not win any hardware made this team compete everywhere in all formats.What exactly will Dravid do remains to be seen. But this nonsense that he was forced to take this job is simply not true.People were craving for him. Insidious, SandeepMotta, Frustrated and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Winnable match ended in draw Convincing win Convincing win Convincing loss Convincing loss Convincing loss Convincing loss So far it is not good. I can overlook ODI bilateral failures as it means very little. But i would have preferred losing with a much younger side or newer combination like we did in SL. Link to comment
Frustrated Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 If passengers like Bhuvi and Ashwin continue to be backed in LOIs, Dravid' tenure will not last long. My fear is that these passengers, under seniority quota, might be given one last chance of redemption against minnows SL and/Windies and retain their spots after a decent performance. express bowling and raki05 2 Link to comment

Maybe this team can mount a challenge in those conditions... after 1st test people were expecting 3-0, 4 losses down the lane Indian cricket is doomed.

As if these SA pitches for ODIs are very different and bouncy. Their spinners bowled well and got wickets. Did we?Sent from my CPH1819 using Tapatalk express bowling and Frustrated 2 Link to comment

Even if he was to walk away after a couple of series losses, it will tarnish his stature for good. Its not. He was not even the full time coach when in Sri Lanka, their is clear pattern here and his preference for trundlers is the most worrying aspect and even if you look at the Lankan series it the TTF who continued to play and continued to lose. Dravid for all the hype created for his work with the u19s is looking like an extremely conservative coach who wants to play safe by just picking seniors and line n length bowlers to the detriment of the Indian team, express bowling 1 Link to comment

So tooo early to judge Dravid's tenure based on one series when the key batsman is missing. no.....our bowling flopped and our batting flopped. rohit would have added 10 to 15 more runs to the total...that would not have made any difference.

Frustrated Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Ever since this tour started, it appears that most posters (incl myself) have been spending more time on ICF than watching the live match/highlights. That shows how piss poor our performance has been in both tests and ODIs. Simply unwatchable. Coward KL gives negative vibes and really does not deserve to be even a temporary captain. He is setting a wrong example as an opener by tuk tuking all way through his inning even on pattas against SA D team having Magala/Chagala LOL. This is negative cricket. Even if Rohit is unavailable for the Windies and SL series, I hope Dravid wakes up and shows some guts and makes Pant/Bumrah the captain. They can't do worse than KLPD.

Swag Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Rohit, Kishan, SKY & Pandya in the team could have made a difference in ODIs. Rohit in Tests would have also been very crucial, his (usual) one century would have come very handy in winning us the 2nd or 3rd test. I'd say it is too early for Dravid to be written off. He doesn't have much time though with the WC looming. Link to comment

Atleast stop him to open the inning but knowing dravid as he is from KA so give full support to Kela to screw India. Frustrated 1 Link to comment
