Raghav_12 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Why don't make Dhoni coach as well? He is already Captain, WK, Main Batsman, Occasional Seam Bowler. Additional responsibility of coach will fire him up more and he would have complete control on the process. Link to comment
kosingh Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The more I think about it, the more I don't want a coaching change. Fletcher has been poor, no doubt. But I'm afraid the BCCI might make someone like Shastri the coach. Link to comment
The Realist Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Peter Moores next year when he's sacked by Eng. BCCI zombies like trawling through England's reject bin and recycling its contents. Link to comment
Midfielder Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Three coaches for 3 formats. India A coach seems like a good choice. If coach cannot select team he should not be blamed. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 In the context of Indian cricket, a coach is useless unless he is a Kirsten or Wright, Fleming and Mc Grath are the only possible candidates. Go ahead and appoint a lamp post! Link to comment
Texan Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Put any Tom, Dick or Harry. It does not matter. In India, the captain tends to be all powerful and the coach has absolutely no role in team selection or strategies other than throwing a few balls for catching practice. Anybody can do that.

renjith Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 dravid and zaheer khan will be the best possible options for india. but I doubt both are willing to take up coaching job at this stage. martin crowe will be a good option to help our batsmen improve on seaming pitches. he was the best when it comes to handling swing/seam. not sure if he is willing though. craig mcdermott will be a good option for bowling coach. he has applied for SL main coach position. So i guess he is available. jason gillespe is another option for bowling coach if he is willing to move from yorkshire but the most important thing is not to replace the coach alone. but the full coaching unit + captain.

TheWall Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 No need of coach. let BCCI tell the players that if you dont play well, you will be dropped forever.. But does BCCI has the guts????? Link to comment
vayuu1 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 If he wasn't with aus id say Darrell lehmann Link to comment
vayuu1 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I would say Kumble as head coach,aamre batting,ta shekher as bowling and jonty as fielding coach would be really good. Link to comment

Austin 3:!6 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Tendulkar anyone? I am all for it Reasons: 1)No one commands more respect amongst young players than him. 2)Mentally the toughest player ever from India and can rub few of his temperamental skills to the young players. 3)Can a great batting guide for our young players.

diga Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 would want an Indian as a coach & think Bangar desrves to interview for that role.. he won 3 ranji trophies with a weak Railways team/ almost won the IPL with Kings X1 if BCCI wants a foreign coach, I heard Paul Collingwood is doing a great job as a coach.. another person who made the most of his talents Link to comment

Precambrian Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 We donr need coaches at the highest level. We can specialised coaches for battibg, fielding etc but these guys are already strong in basics. Or purported to be, otherwise they wouldn't be playing national cricket. What we need are. Man managers. Link to comment

Man managers. I think we very much need a coach that makes sure the basics are done right. He cannot make Indians players catch a cricket ball. But he can make sure slips are not standing too far back. He can make sure distance between slips is appropriate. He can make sure the team is working on shining the ball. There are numerous examples like these which show the complete absence of cricketing basics. Link to comment
