So, you never know. Yeah, even Venkatesh Prasad despite being a trundler backed some fast bowlers. I am not sure about Vinay Kumar...seems like a reserve guy. But hope he promotes fast bowlers.

Lord Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Bharat Arun was KKR bowling coach. Was really hoping GG gets him back. Link to comment

cowboysfan Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I applaud the move but not sure about Vinay kumar as bowling coach. Link to comment
rollingstoned Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I would have preferred Varun Aaron of we were going the untested route. Link to comment

If this is his choice for bowling coach, then I don't really know what to say. Lord, JaFanatic and Sgattick10 2 1 Link to comment

Tillu Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 All the initial excitement about Gambhir being the head coach took a sudden death hearing Vinay Kumar's name. Everybody's shitttting their pants now. I guess batting and bowling coaches in Indian team are just figureheads, they don't provide any input. Link to comment

Tillu Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 5 minutes ago, Lord said: Ofcourse they do. Why else are they paid? Bharat Arun did a fantastic job. No they don't. It's just BCCI'S way of saying thank you for your services. Otherwise who in their right mind would select Rathore, Mambhrey or Vinay Kumar as coaches. Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) Great news. Some real fun times . The dynamic between Kohli and GG is only part of it If a smart cricketing mind and powerful personality like GG, universally backed by ICF to be coach, cannot get rid of seniors if they underperform , then all the criticism of Dravid will look pretty tame in hindsight and they'll have to credit Dravid through gritted teeth.

Nobody thought he'd be good when he was selected but did a fab job. New guy 1 Link to comment

No holds barred. If gambo does the same as dravid then he will receive all kinds of colourful remarks. He won't if he fights for change and gets removed in the process ofcourse. Players hold too much power these days. Nikhil_cric 1 Link to comment
