Indian team selectors…

What are the criteria to be Team India selectors ????

 

Looks like those guys who are not good enough to get Commentary gigs and Coaching jobs of any nature, end up being selectors by rotation these days.

 

Most of them don't have much understanding of what types of players work in international cricket. They just check stats and pick players most of the time.

When selectors choose Mukesh Kumar instead of Kuldeep Sen based on Irani Trophy performance, there itself I understood how "competent" they are.

 

 

Mukesh Kumar and Nagaswalla are picked in the A-team to be future test cricketers.

 

Test regular Shardul Thakur replaced injured Prasidh in the A team. The opportunity could have gone to Kuldeep Sen or any other budding quick.

 

The only good thing we had in the last 4 years ... a hostile pace attack in tests ... this bunch of selectors are trying to destroy that.

True....if this mgmt and selection committee will continue, trundler will rule there as well.
Sports Yaari is atleast calling out selectors on Youtube as incompetent and someone with no vision. "No matter how much we mock, Rizwan and Babar contributed in the big match, here Rahul will score runs against Nambia, Zimbabwe but just fail against SA, Eng, Aus etc."

IMHO :

a. Cannot be former players 

b. Age restriction 45

c. Equal gender representation 

d. As a panel they should watch all domestic games

e. Each person brings experience in psychology ,fitness, cricket analytics, talent spotting 

f. No regional representation 

h. Players in the entire country stats should be normalized , a unique identifier is given . Names to be removed 

I. Selectors should have base salary plus team performance bonus . Salary to be capped at the potential revenue team can bring in with tournament winnings.

j. Performance metrics to published to the public 

k. Team performance dashboard

Hands down the current set of Selectors and the Coaching Staff are the worst bunch of clowns we had in the last decade. Deadly combo pushing back the Indian cricket few decades back. Absolute non sense of selections and merry go around with players selected and dropped without vision.

 

Dravid was boasting the template and personnel were chosen for each position since last November and backed Yada yada. But his captian sold the bowling not good enough immediately after defeat.

 

These leeches could not also own up responsibility and face the music for the players they backed. They make them dummy the minute the player fail.

 

Even when the squad was announced most of us knew the max ceiling is semis by fluking. If not for freak innings by Virat and choke by Pak in 1st match, India has no business reaching the knockouts . 

 

Whats shocking few seasoned posters here backing these selections with stats and filters to show these guys are best ..yada yada. There are certain fools who back the perennial losers like KL and Dravid due to regional bias, which is understandable.

 

Thanks to this TM and selectors, the fans who invested lot of time for this beautiful sport and follow the Indian team can finally skip watching this joke of team. Sick and tired of washed and rinsed failures like Bhuvi, KL, Harshal, Chahal, DK, Ashwin etc etc. Any other accountable set up only SKY, Pant, Arshdeep, HP could survive this flop show. 

 

Can predict what's the result of Home ODI WC with these bunch of moron selectors and Dravid & co. Only interesting thing was emergence of potent pace attack on tests last few years. With Virat gone, don't see anyone going to back up and stand for genuine pacers in Tests as well. Not long before random Kumar's, Unadkats, Kulkarni are back in the test fold.

I think the 2 primary criteria should be

 

1)  People who have good idea about what types of players work in International cricket.

 

Picking the top performers in domestic cricket never work in international cricket.

 

Identify the correct types of players and pick the performers among them. 

 

2)  People who have the guts to drop seniors if they are not performing.

This is very important - there is a big difference between club and first class cricket vs international cricket.

 

This is true even in other sports as a lot of club soccer stars do not fare as well in international matches.

Honest question, why players having sone x-factor or unknown potential not picked. Really wished players like Shaw or Umran played this time instead of oldies Shami, Bhuvi, Ashwin etc?

 

Adhwin a T20 player? You must be joking. They sent him to bat when it was required to run 2s& 3s.

 

Pardon me but Chicken Arse Mouth DRAWid has not disappointed me at all. He and That Fat MoFo Rohit deserve this…

 

I hope Rohit & DRAWid should never to do anything with LoiS anymore…
