Kumble raises questions at WC meeting on overseas Test debacle

[Marut]

Srikkanth - "What the hell are you taking about. There weren't any debacles except in the minds of unpatriotic fans. We should all be proud of last year now that Sachin has got his 100th 100, which no one will emulate in future"

Stupid BCCI..going on a witch hunt here when the problem is obvious... The interests of players are in IPL where the games are shorter and the money is exponentially more... secondly.. Indian players do not have enough experience with clayey/bouncy pitches because we are too busy being flat-track tigers playing silly tournaments at home routing out visitors on our batting tracks.

The report. My Madrasi boss.

Will Duncan Fletcher be bold enough to report IPL as one of the causes of the debacle. How will BCCI react to it' date=' assuming Fletcher's report makes a reference to IPL.[/quote'] They will tell him to shut the **** up just like what they told Kirsten.

Srinivasan asked Fletcher to STFU when a reporter asked him about the BCCI's stand on DRS. :hehe:

http://cricketnext.in.com/live/news/srinivasan-to-discuss-twin-debacle-with-fletcher/66892-13.html Srinivasan to discuss 'twin debacle' with Fletcher tomorrow New Delhi: As the Indian team is getting ready for their season opening tour of Sri Lanka in a couple of days time, BCCI president N Srinivasan and chief coach Duncan Fletcher will meet on Tuesday to discuss the twin Test series debacles in England and Australia. "The president [srinivasan] will be meeting [Duncan] Fletcher tomorrow before the team leaves for Sri Lanka. The 0-8 debacle would certainly come up for discussion and president would like to know what went wrong and the corrective measures that need to be taken in such a situation," a senior member of the BCCI Working Committee told PTI on Monday Former India captain Anil Kumble had raised the issue during the last working committee meeting. Kumble, who attends the working committee meeting by virtue of being the president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), had questioned whether the board had sought answers from Fletcher regarding India's disastrous performances in England and Australia.

Good move by Kumble. Wonder what sort of BS report is Fletcher going to submit. Sack that guy already.

I am so glad people like Kumble, Ganguly are having a say in what happens next in Indian cricket Fletcher fate will be decided after the SL (if we win the series then after AUS series in 2013) when a major shakeup is likely inside the team with quite a few players likely to retire from Test cricket Lack of preparation is a big reason for the loss and that's got as much to do with BCCI as it does with Fletcher

[Needforspeed]

lol' date=' it took them 4 months to even ASK for the investigation. As if only Kumble was watching that series. I would have expected a report from Dunston at the earliest.[/quote'] Agree. And I thought by now some sort of report would have been already given by Fletcher.

Agree. And I thought by now some sort of report would have been already given by Fletcher.

who knows Fletcher's report may be in dustbin :giggle:

[jairamesh]

The BCCI is likely to ask national coach Duncan Fletcher to submit a report on IndiaÃÔ twin Test series debacle in England and Australia after former India captain Anil Kumble raised the issue at the Working Committee meeting in Chennai today.

So what happened? Was report ever produced? Was it made available in the public domain? If no, then frankly I am routing for a 3-1 England win.

A report is not going to solve anything, if they need Fletcher to highlight the obvious things will never change, problems are with the captain and selectors who need to make changes and not wait for things to come good
