FreakazoiD Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 He played for India in mid 80s and has worked with players at NCA. Though as an Indian bowling coach' date=' I would have preferred TA Shekhar or Subroto Bannerjee. They both have good technical knowledge.[/quote'] This Arun chap sounds like he was an ace trundler in his playing days. Hope he does not swap out the likes of Aaron and Umesh for Unadkut and Mithunda if he survives beyond the ODI series. Prior experience of trundler coach (Venky Prasad) does not inspire confidence. And Prasad at least had international experience.

Malcolm Merlyn Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 T A Sekhar for bowling coach would be a good idea.But is he on Srini crony list?

Though as an Indian bowling coach' date=' I would have preferred TA Shekhar or Subroto Bannerjee. They both have good technical knowledge.[/quote'] I had seen his (B.Arun's) 2 test matches on Doordarshan when he debuted. It was against SL in home series during 1986-87 season ..Nov/Dec 1986 to be precise .He had one of the most peculiar run-ups where he slowly accelerated,then decelarated and then in final two delivery strides, accelarated again :hysterical: . As teengage kids, it was very funny to try to mimic his runup and action .:hehe:
philcric Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Man I was not not even born when he debuted. You didn't miss much :two_thumbs_up:

Laaloo Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Was Dravid not the mentor and what did he achieve? ghanta
CSK Fan Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 ghanta BTW, Shastri in his interview clearly said that this is not a witch hunt and Fletcher won't be sacked
kosingh Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 BTW, Shastri in his interview clearly said that this is not a witch hunt and Fletcher won't be sacked No, he'll just be led to resign.
CSK Fan Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 He will get huge compensation then. Didn't think money was an issue with BCCI
kosingh Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Yep, money should not be an issue. Fletcher makes how much? About 300-400K USD? Weren't the BCCI mouthpieces (Shastri and Gavaskar) making like 800k USD just to be BCCI mouthpieces?
Trundler27 Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 The title of this article should rather be: BCCI sees no future for test cricket in India, taps IPL to be the only acceptable format moving forward :thumbs_up:
moniker Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Didn't think money was an issue with BCCI To the contrary, money's the biggest issue with BCCI. The richer you are, the greedier you get.
CSK Fan Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 To the contrary' date=' money's the biggest issue with BCCI. The richer you are, the greedier you get.[/quote'] They have been throwing money everywhere to get loyalty. They are paying Shastri etc, as much as Fletcher. Voiding Fletcher's contract would help them save money in the long run, how much do you think the supporting 'staff' who flew in, Shastri, Bangar, etc would be paid? Big money might be a problem, not Fletcher's piddly one year salary
FischerTal Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 ^ didn't do that great in SA tbh but nonetheless great batsman
Deleted_User_1 Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 BCCI chewts suddenly wake up. And for the fat bastard, ffs just resign and go away!!!
putrevus Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Dravid's away average is bit misleading as he failed in majority of matches in Australia, SA and SL. Only strong bowling side he did well was England in 2011. But he is one guy who can teach these youngsters how to maximize their talent with complete dedication. Ultimate team man
