Is Rahul Dravid the most pathetic Coach in our Cricket history??

[Lone Wolf]

Guy looks like has no brain cells....  And makes questionable braindead selections almost regularly. 

Keeps playing flop players...  Endorses Trundlers. 

Meek depressed atmosphere... No killer instinct.  Has single handedly turned Indian team into a mid tier team. 

If team had gone to Aus with him in 2021...  After 36 AO...  I am certain we woukd have lost 4-0 under him. 

Can BCCI sack him after looming home series defeat to Aus? 

 

[Frustrated]

Sorry to ask this - "Can I piss on him"?

Couple of years back everyone wanted to remove bevda and bring in Rahul Dravid sir,next is vvs laxman sir. Intellect par excellence.

Many(including myself) got deceived by the u19 team's performance under him.

I would've preferred Lalchand Rajput - the inaugural WT20 winner. More importantly I wanted Kohli to step down from at least one format in 2019 - it's both on Kohli & Shastri to drag this team down! Fans have no say in this because no one listens to us & no one ever will, not to mention there's so much money behind this racquet that any failure in intl games is brushed aside after every IPL season

I have been batting for foreign coach after Shastri but thought dravid might do good job too. A foreign coach would not feed the egos of our superstars atleast compared to the Indian ones.

He(foreign coach) will be booted out once they question their(senior player's) performance

[Number]

If he has any shame he should himself step down.

[Lone Wolf]

It takes special skill to make a great Test team beating Aus away & England to barely managing to stay in the game vs a Pathetic BD test team....  Yes our results have been poor in the past... But the steep decline is unprecedented. 

Signs were there first in SA when he brought loser seniors back...  And then for that one off test. 

Rest is history

First signs emerged during the WTC final - Brat edged a relatively harmless rising delivery from KJ & we lost that test inside 1 session on day 5 

Then Rahane didn't declare early against NZ on day 4, first test in 2021 at Kanpur, much to the glee of "aggressive brand of cricket" supporters here! We should've been able to draw the game in that WTC final & really should've declared early vs NZ as well - it reminded me of the decline against WI (2011 tour) where Dhongi gave up on a relatively easy chase after 10-15 overs

[Lord]

He was never gonna be a rebel and drop seniors. Infact Rahane,Saha and Ishant going out is a big plus which didnt happen under previous regime.

 

Rohit has missed both away series too which means captain is new everytime.

 

He deserves to be sacked but its not gonna solve anything unless seniors are booted out and new young captain is there (not  KL)

Shastri was coach in WTC final IIRC

Yes but it isn't necessarily about the coach, didn't we discuss Rahane should've been the captain after Oz win in 2021 at home against Eng? Why the * did Brat get the captaincy automatically? His numbers were much worse than Rahane in the preceding 2 years at that point, with Rahane scoring a hundred at MCG, also why did we pick low b*** job Sharma in the WTC finals over someone like Siraj or Thakur? He *ing didn't even bowl in the second innings

Basically when the culture is set like that it will need a complete reset before we can get anywhere close to our best, that means the old "leaders" must all be booted out!

thread is about Dravid so mentioned

[R!TTER]

Just changing Dravid won't make a difference - you don't change only your comms if you're on the Titanic hoping to avoid the inevitable iceberg

[nitinbwj]

Yes. Isko gandi gandi gaaliyan dene ka man karta hai. 

[nitinbwj]

Dravid, KL, Kohli ( Feel like hitting you you *ing moron) Besharma, Gill ( Don't know what Dravid is teaching you). 

[Vilander]

The whole team is pathetic. Dravid definitely is the primary meek influence a d needs to go. 

[Frustrated]

0-3 Whitewash against SA(odi series), Loss against SA in tests, Loss against Eng in last test, Asia Cup, T20 WC, Odi series loss to Nz, Odi series loss to Toygers.  And this doesnot end here.  There is more humiliation coming our way 2morrow against ranked 9th team.   All this has been achieved under 'Dravid Sir' in a matter of just 1 year in which 2 months were consumed by IPL..(2022).   Gear up for more humiliation starting 2023 and onwards. 

[Mesky99]

All these so called "intellectual' Indian cricketers like dravid, Ashwin, laxman, kumble etc are just well spoken individuals who speak a good game, Ashwin probably the worst with the drs system, Dinesh Karthik another one speaks so well but pathetic when it comes to actual cricket intelligence, dravid not just a bad coach but got all his buddies in the management both kanitkar and mhambrey, would these to ever question his tactics and show him some light if they felt he was going wrong? No, bring in someone like chandrakant pandit, ta Sekhar and kaif, sekhar is a terrific mentor/coach, all these pacers would have trained under him at mrf pace foundation.
