So Indian Think Tank has become circle jerk of seniors who themselves never played the brand of cricket needed to succeed now. Someone like Finch or eoin morgan should be looked in, but we will end with laxman who groom the next gen of kumars.

Hmm... dont be so disrespectful of that generation. While I agree that a foreigner after 8 years of Indian at the helm of coaching brings a different perspective, an Indian coach would not do so badly.

Pathetic...  With so much money at BCCI's disposal they can't hire a decent coach.. 

Indian coaches have been Disastrous throughout our history.  No sporting culture nothing works here. 

As Akhtar said, average log, average results.

2011 WC - Gary Kirsten

2013 CT - Duncan Fletcher

 

After that Kumble-Shastri-Dravid and now Laxman.

 

Till the time we don't have coaches who are strategically sound we will struggle to win ICC trophies.

Laxman - 

 

positives - calm personality .played fearless cricket in tests at no 5 . Great catcher with Dravid . 
negatives - was not gifted with power hitting . 
 

how will he do as coach . Let’s see . Don’t have much hopes . But he has a habit of surprising people . I won’t underestimate him . Like dravid he is meticulous and really wants the job . Has put in all the hard work . 
 

to be fair to him - he has not jumped the gun , has put in few years into coaching and who knows ? He along with Sehwag always played positive cricket. That’s a good sign .

T20 squad against Australia will 7-8 left handed batsmen in the playing 11... Not sure if it was Dravid/Laxman who decided that but there is a conscious effort to develop the team. I am sure we will see better results in the coming days

If anyone has followed how he managed SRH, his term with the Indian team is going to be disastrous.

Won't be shocked if the trundler lover recalls Sandeep Sharma! Sandeep, Bhuvi and Mukesh could be our three musketeers. To be even more aggressive, we could add Marshall Patel to make it an a pace quartet!
