Sourav Ganguly as Team India's coach - the pros and cons


Recommended Posts

Posted
Bengal actually won the Vijay Hazare Trophy under Ganguly last year. Having said so, Ganguly should not become coach of India. His big ego will clash with the big egos of the Indian legends, and will result in a disastrous mess. We need an unassuming, Dravid-like guy as coach.
Then why remove fletcher,He is in the background.Ganguly will never be the coach as dhoni will not let it happen .He will want another bootlicker.Even ganguly was the same as captain but greg chappel turned out diff.Its hard for people to give up power.Regarding Selections and bias ganguly is no way worse or better than anybody,His comments have genrally been good about young players .

It does have limitations, but it is presently a lesser evil. An outspoken, headline-hungry, control-freak guy like Ganguly may result in a larger mess (specially at a transition phase) than a Kirsten-like guy who does his job quietly and generally gels well with people. Ganguly's love for Yuvi and Bhajji is also a dangerous thing.
What I'm worried of is the exact opposite: a honest well intended gentleman lets things go on, business as usual. Dhoni wants Jaddu as test all rounder, sure I'll work with this tailunt. Raina is our test #6, let me see how I can help him. We desperately need a tough nut who gets the foot in the door. I am hoping Dada's experience will have wisened him on excessive favoritism. He might have some ideas of himself like playing Dinda in all formats but I doubt his squad will be his favs from past as well as present.

what about Dada wants YUvraj, Harbhajan and Dinda in the test team. I will take Dravid as a coach or even both with Dada coach and Dravid as a batting coach for youngsters.

You'll see him back 1-2 players forever but not the entire XI.

Guys I am as great a fan of Dada as exists. But he has no experience of coaching. Not a Ranji trophy, IPL or U19 team. The Team India coaching post is not one for on the job learning.

Thats just BS.Coach has so much influence on selections.Yes he may give guys who he thinks a longer rope but thats it.Anyways Ganguly will be coach till dhoni is captain.

Why is it BS? I said he might 'want' them. Out of the 4 I mentioned, 3 have associations with Ganguly - Dinda was handpicked by Ganguly to play for KKR when he did not even have a contract (he was just a net bowler), Ganguly picked Shami to replace Ranadeb Bose in the Bengal team as he wanted a phhast bowler and Ravi Kant Singh has learnt his cricket in the Ganguly Cricket Academy. I said he might 'want' them, not have them in the team.

If you think Viru and Gambhir are Ganguly fans' date=' you've been misinformed.[/quote'] Have you ever seen how Viru talks about Dada?And also how Gambhir talked about Saurav when he was in Kolkata and also on Ganguly's show.

LOL. Don't get sold by how Viru talks about Ganguly and how Gambo talks about Ganguly. The Viru-Ganguly relationship soured dramatically during Gangu's fall and Gambo had always attributed MSD's captaincy as the period when he felt secure in the team setup. I can assure you that Viru and Gangs aren't friends.

Anil Kumble?So that we get more TenVic guys in.
Wait till a few players from dada's academy become good enough to play consistently in Ranji Trophy and then we will see similar nepotism charges hurled at Dada as well.
