I still hold Bhajji the culprit. We know Sreeshanth can be obnoxious but It’s not like Sreeshanth has sledged him worse than the Aussies.

vvvslaxman Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 There is a reason why Mumbai has won so many domestic trophies. Even the IPL. Not just the players. But also they had good leadership. Although sounds regional it is a cultural thing. Cricketing culture. Link to comment

I think they still hold that legacy of competitiveness. I know I troll @jusarrived and @diga but Karnataka over the years has had similar culture at a domestic level. Vijy 1 Link to comment

Mumbai is a batting factory, many of the Mumbai greats have faired terribly as former captains, Sachin and Gavaskar are the greatest examples. Mumbai wins Ranji trophies on the back of their formidable batting, and not due to captaincy. Vijy 1 Link to comment
kirkutfan Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 What is the captain supposed to “look like”? The official is an idiot. This is Rahul’s first run at the job. He will get better with time/ experience. Rahul’s biggest issue is his own form with the bat. Too inconsistent. If that isn’t resolved, then his own spot in the team could be at risk.

That Pakistan series was a fraud series where the umpiring was blatantly biased and also they used soda bottle. Other losses came agianst mighty wIndies who thrashed every team back then. They had guys like him, Wadekar, Shastri who were all tacticians. Most recently in the absence of main players like Rohit/Rahane Aditya tare let them to title win against Saurashtra. Link to comment

Tacticians yes, Add anshuman Gaekwad to the list, he was a smart tactician too, but sadly Mumbai has never produced an out an out great Captain. Kapil Dev, Dhoni, Ganguly, Kohli, they all carried a certain aura of Leadership, sadly even the great Sachin lacked that aura of a great leader. Rohit has shown that he could be a great leader in the IPL, but sadly he's at the fag end of his career and it's too little too late for him kind of situation. Mumbai historically produced great cricketers and has a great batting culture, but Captaincy, I doubt. Link to comment
Swag Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I agree Mumbai has the best mix. Not the rowdiness of the North neither the nerdiness of the South. Of course I am not biased Vijy 1 Link to comment

LordPrabhzy Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Do you guys think this affects KL a bit? the guy is on a 20cr paycheque in the IPL plus his India contract and his brand advertisements- ALL THIS WITHOUT HIM ACTUALLY DELIVERING AS A CAPTAIN OR A PLAYER... now can you see why players are not incentivised to improve their performances and be accountable for results- this all cricket fraternity takes the indian public as Chewtiyas and you guys lap it up Vijy, nevada, raki05 and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment
Vijy Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I assume the leak/comment from BCCI is correct and factual? If so, they at least seem to recognize that KLR is not well-suited for this position Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 3 hours ago, Pollack said: Problem is not that he is not aggressive but he is disinterested. He is clueless because they say he’s stopgap for Rohit, while he’s finding feet in the team since a year ago. He needs to contribute in the Indian team more before he can assert authority. Srikanth had the same in in 1989 Pak series. He was dropped from the team not just from captaincy, right after the series . South Indians have no lobby like Mumbai guys, just like the m gaddi Kothili 1 Link to comment
