Where is Duncan Fletcher?

[vvvslaxman]

Hardly has anything gone right since he took over. FIrst a mess up of easy run chase in Windies. Then white wash in England. Now another whitewash looming. India consistently struggles to go past 300. Batting has never been this bad in the last 30 years or so. What the hell is he doing?

[Cricket Tragic]

How long is his contract?

[dragonfly]

At the buffet table.

Watching Don 2 with his lads?

[exams]

he is a top man thogh

[ganeshran]

So is Gary Kirsten

[Needforspeed]

Gary Kirsten suggested his name. Maybe it was his way of getting back at the BCCI for all they did to him (whatever it was) :--D

[sm332]

I think you will see Duncan being asked to leave, post WC has been uniformly bad for test side. We need to change something up and coach may not be a bad place to start.

[achilles]

It is not the fault of the coach. Did he bat, ball, field in the game? No. The captain is responsible for the team on the pitch. The coach can only do so much. If the players go out there and underperform how is it the fault of the coach?

If the coach cant make any difference, why have him at all? Let us just have a manager (like in the old days) and save some money. Anyway Fletcher has to go. Isn't this (6 consecutive defeats) as bad as the WC 2007 performance. In the past, captains and coaches have been fired for less.

[ganeshran]

He has lost his last 11 matches on the trot against the top 5 test playing nations.

[Needforspeed]

Okay. But why only the coach?

Agreed. Not just the coach. We need to go for the kind of changes the Aussies went for after the Ashes.

[Sachin=GOD]

Okay. But why only the coach?

because we know that the WC winning Captain won't be fired and the selection committee certainly won't be sacked.

[adi B]

duncan is an idiot, his presence has ***ed us royally ...we should kick him out b4 the asia cup, coz i have a feeling evn the pakis will beat us with there spin wizards particularly if this ***got is with us

[coffee_rules]

He's busy picking......

Yes. Someone needs to brave. How about offering the captaincy in other formats to Virat Kohli, a la Graeme Smith?

Soft target is the coach. India is a country with ZERO accountability. No one in power admits his mistake.

Smith could at least control the team. Virat Kohli can't even control his finger.

Virat is quite similar to Smith. Young, full of potential, abrasive and good leaders... the similarities may go on.
