Nikhil_cric Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 22 hours ago, Lord said: He definitely isn't an assertive guy. Chappell walked all over him. Perhaps. But when has India ever wanted an assertive coach? Chappell and Kumble were the only real assertive coaches who tried to interfere in selection. Look at how their tenures ended. Shastri was not assertive. In fact, contradicted himself every now and then. Dravid is in a position where he can never win. He can't assert himself and override Rohit in terms of selection which will definitely have an acrimonious end And he will be the fall guy the moment the team fails. Lord 1 Link to comment
Number Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 2 hours ago, putrevus said: That is what I said about Bharat Arun way back in 2018 itself. He was the unsung hero in fast bowlers getting better along with Kohli the captain., Our three idiots Sachin, Ganguly and VVS (CAC) tried to saddle Zaheer Khan as bowling coach to Shastri in 2017 itself.Who flatly refused and asked for Arun in particular. Sachin and VVS were in the team which selected great Jaidev Unadkt over Umesh Yadav in SA too. Omg UmadCutter :)) Other than offering some advices to young batsmen for batting, these guys should be nowhere near Indian cricket. Link to comment

Trichromatic Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Is there anything good that Dravid has done for this team? Gollum 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Legacy - constipated face when in losing situation. We have had too many under these since the beginning. Achieved nothing noteworthy. They almost achieved the ultimate humiliation of losing to Bangladesh which in hindsight should have happened. India shouldn't have escaped easily.

Gollum Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Playing Mukesh on this lifeless track when we could have gone with Sundar who would have at least added much teeth to our batting. Dumb and dumber must go, enough is enough. vivek04 1 Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 They are hyping Axar a little.too much as a batsman. Much better for a lower order. But he.isnyet to make a 100 at this level. Even Jaddu took a while. His primary skill has to be top notch or else he needs to score a 100 alteast Gollum 1 Link to comment

Decisive footwork and attacking mindset v spin. I'll take him over some specialist bat like current Iyer too. Atleast he offers left handed advantage. Link to comment

I'll take him over some specialist bat like current Iyer too. Atleast he offers left handed advantage. Being better than Current Iyer cannot be a reason why anyone should be picked. He bats very well for a no.7 or no.8 batsman. But for a no.6 batsman he is completely unsuitable. He has 1 century in first class average 35. That doesn't cut it.
