Shane Warne interested in national coach job after Kirsten's exit : wrong speculation

[OldFella]

Warney would be a brilliant coach...forget his snakey boy, that has a different dynamic...but his knowledge of cricket is unsurpassed...and his ability to convey it too.

[arkay]

What he will bring in? Good strategy and insight into planning how to compete. May not be good coach of working with the team on fielding drills or practice sessions

Shane Warne denies India coach talk

NEW DELHI: Australian spin legend Shane Warne on Wednesday denied media reports that he was interested in coaching World Cup champions India. "Just got told on bus - apparently I put my hand up to coach India. Wow - first I have heard of it - Sorry to disappoint but never said that!!!" Warne tweeted. Leg-spinner Warne, 41, is in the country to take part in the Indian Premier League where he leads the Rajasthan Royals franchise in the lucrative Twenty20 competition, starting on Friday. Local media reports earlier on Wednesday said Warne had shown interest in the job. "It is a very difficult job to be India coach, it is never easy," Warne was quoted as saying in the Mail Today newspaper. "But with India doing so well, it is a lot easier to take over right now than it has been in the past. I'll enjoy working with the Indian cricket team for sure." India are without a coach after former South African batsman Gary Kirsten stepped down following the World Cup victory in Mumbai last week. Warne said Kirsten had set high standards during a successful three-year stint with Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team. "Kirsten is a quality person and it would be hard to find a replacement for him. Under him, the Indian team has reached the number one spot in Tests and won the World Cup," said Warne. "He is a fantastic coach." Warne, who quit international cricket in 2007 with 708 wickets in Tests and 293 in one-dayers, excelled in a duel role as captain and coach guiding the Rajasthan Royals to a surprise title in the inaugural IPL edition in 2008.

I was doubtful when I saw that the news originated from the times group.

warne would be terrible coach. Its proven, low profile, non speaking coaches, non disruptive caoches are best for India. We just need someone who puts the cones out for the training drills, and then just shuts up.

Warne dismisses India coach reports New Delhi, Apr 6 (PTI) Australian spin legend Shane Warne today dismissed media reports that he is interested in taking up the vacant coach''s job with World champions India after South African Gary Kirsten decided against extending his contract. "Just told on bus - apparently I put my hand up to coach India. Wow - first I have heard of it. Sorry to disappoint but never said that !!!" Warne tweeted, putting to rest all speculations. Kirsten quit India coach''s post yesterday after guiding the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led side to the World Cup title in Mumbai''s Wankhede Stadium last week. No sooner Kirsten retired, rumours flew thick and fast that the 41-year-old former Australian leg-spinner was interested in the job. A section of the Indian media had even quoted Warne as saying: "It''s a very difficult job to be India coach. But with India doing so well, it is a lot easier to take over right now than it has been in the past. I''ll enjoy working with the Indian cricket team for sure." Warne, who is in India as coach-cum-captain of Rajasthan Royals for the fourth edition of the Indian Premier League, had yesterday told reporters in Jaipur that it will be difficult for India to find a suitable replacement for Kirsten, under whom the side reached the pinnacle in world cricket. Warne also tweeted that he was happy with the team combination of Rajasthan Royals for the upcoming Twenty20 league. "Very happy with final 18 that will represent the royals in IPL. We have some surprises in store. Also quality senior players-talented youth," he wrote. http://ibnlive.in.com/generalnewsfeed/news/warne-dismisses-india-coach-reports/639204.html

[The Outsider]

As expected, media fire. It would be really, really surprising if Warne was interested in a full time coaching job anywhere. The guy is involved in so many parallel ventures and raking in huge amounts of money.

[hify_ameet]

A big NO for Warne as coach.. How about Saurav Ganguly? I guess he can be a good coach for India..

Who needs a coach when Sachin is in the team?

Who needs a team when you have "Look Ma, I made a Star Pose" Afridi?
