It quotes Gambhir saying a lot of words which don't actually mean anything. Any coach would pull up a team after a defeat like that.

The thing that matters is what specific actions the coach takes rather than reports of how angry he was etc etc

So far the only specifc actions that seem to be in the offing are - probably replace Pant by Jurel and potentially juggle the bowling again. If that is what ends up happening, what difference will it actually make to the team performance and the deficiencies ?

As Long as Gambhir is there, some degree of tomfoolery and circus act will continue

Yes and the next episode will be played out in the champions trophy with the rohit,kohli and gambhir combo still on centre stage. After a long time, a thumping from Pakistan in Dubai is the more likely result and would be a fitting end to this regime.

it would be fitting, yes, but seniors won't be dropped by BCCI no matter what.

They will be ditched when BCCI senses the public mood has shifted. One signal will be when guys like gavaskar etc start openly criticising the setup as well which he will do once he too senses that is the content that the public wants. They can see it happening now but after the BGT series loss and a champions trophy failure, it would be an easy thing to do to show "action" as well as being popular. The worst thing that can happen long term for Indian cricket is for the team to somehoe fluke a win in the chamions trophy which will ensure everything else gets brushed under the carpet and another tired, demotivated outfit shows up in England in the summer.

Gavaskar, Asstri, etc. do what BCCI says. And BCCI has vested interest in milking as much money as possible from these dwindling stars. The only thing that could convince them to drop RoKo permanently is when overwhelming majority of Indian public abandon Ro-Ko. It may happen, but is still sometime away.

I feel that Gambhir could be a good white ball coach..but for Tests we need someone else..I need someone who can bring calmness in dressing room over the course of multiple sessions throughout a test match..

 

in white ball..street smart tactics..may work but test cricket need solid approach..

 

I dont hv any data but just gut feeling seeing GG over the years..
