bowl_out Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Gavaskar was right....Throw Fletcher out and get Dravid in Link to comment
Iconoclast Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 And what exactly is giving him an ultimatum going to do for the Indian team ? Link to comment
G_B_ Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 ^ probably force Fletcher to get more involved than be a passenger with the team Link to comment
Switchblade Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Fletcher is on a perrmanent holiday anyway prior to retirement Bishan Singh Bedi has gone one step further, saying Fletcher has no connect with the team and doesn't care if India wins or loses. He is a mercenary. Another left-arm spinner, Maninder Singh, feels: "We still have almost a year to go for the World Cup. We need someone dynamic who can take tough calls." Problem is even if some one dynamic comes in as coach he'll have to be a yes man to Dhoni and the BCCI Link to comment
Switchblade Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 BCCI stands by under-fire coach Duncan Fletcher http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/top-stories/BCCI-stands-by-under-fire-coach-Duncan-Fletcher/articleshow/32014800.cms The BCCI stood by under-fire coach Duncan Fletcher following a meeting in Chennai on Friday. Coming out of the meeting, BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel said: "It was a routine meeting and we support Fletcher whole-heartedly." The meeting was originally supposed to take place in Mumbai but had to be shifted to Chennai because president N Srinivasan underwent a cataract operation recently. Patel denied giving any ultimatum to Fletcher, whose contract comes up for renewal in April. In fact, in the meeting Fletcher had requested BCCI to add a trainer to the support-staff. While the Indian team left for Bangladesh for the T20 World Cup on Friday, Fletcher, along with the other coaches Joe Dawes and Trevor Penny will join them in Dhaka on Saturday. Fletcher has faced a lot of criticism of late for India's poor performance with Sunil Gavaskar saying that India needs a younger coach who has more fresh ideas to offer. :wall::wall::wall::wall::wall: Link to comment

The Realist Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Fletcher, Dawes & Penny. Embarrassing. Link to comment
Switchblade Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Fletcher, Dawes & Penny. Embarrassing. The maximum they'll do is fire Dawes. Link to comment
nevada Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Srini must have called Fletcher to personally thank him for being a mute witness to Dhobi's manmaani. I won't be shocked if he is reappointed as coach with "need for stability ahead of the world cup" thrown in as the reason. Link to comment
Switchblade Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 “Mr Gavaskar is entitled to have his opinion just like I have an opinion. It is not necessary that the BCCI is in agreement with what Mr Gavaskar thinks. It’s his opinion and the BCCI has nothing to do with it.”Patel, http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/duncan-fletcher-has-wholehearted-backing-and-support-of-bcci-sanjay-patel/ Link to comment

Pagalpanti Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 We have been absolute bull crap away under Fletcher..even in the format which India loves.. Lost 3-0 in Eng, 2-0 in SA, 4-0 in NZ :facepalm: Somehow we bring our best in ICC tournaments though even if its away.. If we have a good show in T20 world cup, it could mean Fletcher will get an extension :(( Link to comment
