Well if dhoni stays as captain, then why not mota?? To be frank fletcher does not seem to be allowed to make any decsions. Its dhoni who basically gets squad and pics team he wants cos of srini. Thus dhoni should shoulder the blame more

arun jaitley will replace him.....
And going by what he has done at DDCA in all these years, expect things to get even worse. At least players in Team India are not being selected at gun points like they did at DDCA under Jaitley a few years ago. DDCA is synonymous with nepotism, corruption and utter inefficiency under Jaitley

This just makes me even more depressed.

Foriegn coaches will not have any clue about Indian domestic players, unless they spend enormous time watching domestic cricket while India isn't playing international cricket. Fletcher has to rely on Dhoni and the selection panel to pick the squad. Yes I agree probably Dhoni decides the X1 and Fletcher probably isn't involved that much.

Gavaskar pointing out how no Indian coach has ever survived one bad series result. Gave the example of Wadekar, Madan Lal, Kapil Dev, Robin Singh and Venky Prasad.

So I was right wasn't I? Rajiv Shukla, Sharad Pawar, Arun Jaitley... sab ek hi thaali ke baingan hain :sad: Cricket is a cash cow for the folks with clout in Indian politics and that's how it will remain.

Jaitley has atleast tried to do some good things, but generally not been involved first hand. Atleast he's in politics so more accountable and accessible than Srini who has been Smug and has a i don't give a damn attitude. Things might not improve too much but can't get worse atleast.

You may have spoken too soon.

Btw, can only :hysterical: at this news. Fletcher has been a disaster till now in terms of results.
Then what about the entire X1? Did Fletcher play in the team? India should probably sack the entire team and play a completely new X1 with a different coach. Probably that will help to reverse India's poor performance over the last couple of years?

Coach's job is to help in strategy and other aspects like fitness and all. What has Fletcher added for the past 2 years ? Nothing unlike Kirsten who brought in a Psychologist, backed right players and gave good strategic inpurts. Coach we can appoint someone else from all over the world or someone not coaching currently. Players we have to live with what we have. Stupid comparison. Fletcher is just grooming CSK players.

The very fact that back in 2000, Jaitley agreed to be the candidate of the chor group of DDCA (CK Khanna, Sunil Dev, Tihara etc) fighting against Bishen Bedi who was leading a group of players to change things at DDCA shows where his priorities were. Things have got worse under him with goons running the show.
