Do we really a coach?

[Prudent]

Do we really need a coach? What do you guys think now?

[Gambit]

Yes, yes and yes. Coaching is a full time job and Dravid cannot look into things like organising practice drills, sorting out technical and mental problems etc etc. Let him sort out his own batting problems first!

[King Tendulkar]

Just give Prasad the job and Singh his assistant. And that will be sorted

[beetle]

Agree with dsr.....i am a big fan of Prasad now.....:D

[Gaurav]

Impressed with Prasad. Fielding needs lot of work though.

[Anakin]

Yes, but not a chu.tya underworld-expert like guruji, sorry to his "fans"

[theguyinallblue]

we need a man manager..as we already have bowling and fielding coach..and for batting ..there is sachin and Dravid...and for these two there is gavaskar. some one who can keep these young boys..and old legs..motivated... i seriously hope...John Wright comes back as indian coach...

[bigdhoni7]

Just make ravi shastri the coach. No goras please.

[living]

I think we should have a team manager for each tour, and Indian bowling, batting, fielding coaches so that there is no power struggle.

We need a therapist to advise the captain and the team management when they have a brainfart like yesterday.

[SightForTheGods]

At least not a coach like Chappell. I'm happy with our bowling coach. We currently do not need a batting coach as we are blessed with senior batsmen who are probably much better than most batting coaches. But in the future, we will need good batting coach to train our youngsters.

Bring back Sandy Gordon!

What about the brainfart the captain had in Sydney? There, we didn't even win the series, but still chickened out enforcing the following, having batted for 705 runs in the first innings and then batted again.

[Bumper]

We need a coach so the Wall can focus on what he does best - Bat the opponents out of the game.

prasad rocks.... !!

It won't matter really. A coach will add about 10% to the efforts of the current team. Is India lacking that 10%? I guess not. When something is just working right then don't bother fixing it. It's not like India doesn't have enough support staff. They have a bowling coach, fielding coach and a team manager anyways.

You need someone with some authority in the team. A captain is good, but there also needs to be someone above the captain to overlook the entire team. A coach is a good way to go forward.
