sachin34357 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Sanjay Bangar, B Arun and R Sridhar are expected to remain part of India's coaching staff until the World Cup. The trio were part of a rejig of the backroom personnel after the 3-1 loss to England in the Tests. A decision regarding Ravi Shastri's role of team director and Duncan Fletcher's as head coach will be made at the BCCI's working committee meeting on September 26. The popular opinion among the BCCI top brass though is that it would be too risky to change the coach with barely four months left for the World Cup. ESPNcricinfo understands that Bangar, Arun and Sridhar have been hinted that they were in line to continue as assistant coaches and fielding coach upon their return from England. As a result, the Andhra Cricket Association, which had appointed Sridhar as their head coach for the coming domestic season, have made alternate arrangements for their team's support staff. A formal call will be made during the working committee meeting, which will also discuss Shastri's report. The three of them were praised by Shastri after India ended their tour of England with a 3-1 series win in the ODIs. "All three of them have done an excellent job in the short period they have been given," Shastri had told ESPNcricinfo. This could mean that Trevor Penney and Joe Dawes, who were given a break as fielding and bowling coach respectively, might no longer stay part of the coaching staff. Their contracts, though, run until the end of the world cup and a decision to terminate them or use them in other roles would also be taken at the meeting. One of the options being considered is to use Dawes and Penney as coaches at the National Cricket Academy at Bangalore. The BCCI top brass are keen to retain Shastri as team director for the world cup, however Shastri himself is undecided over whether he wants to enjoy the tournament from the dressing room or commentator's box. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/781861.html
Austin 3:!6 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Great news...Skipper, coach and support staff must remain the same. Chopping and changing is not the solution..patience is :--D

G_B_ Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 its not just about big or small fish are these guys really bringing something to the party and improving the skills of Indian bowlers especially. Like it or not Fletcher does have a good track record with England prior to this assignment. Especially in test cricket. You cant tell me that he became so **** overnight.

maniac Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 :WTF: is Indian team following the :mi: model of having all these support staff Only difference is Kumble,SRT,Ponting,Jonty etc etc vs Bangar,Bharat Arun,R.Sridhar etc etc.
maniac Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Isn't Sridhar VVS's Laxman's uncle or is this a different guy
Precambrian Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Actually chucking off Fletcher as coach would be a great idea because of the freshness in the backroom staff.. new ideas.. new thoughts.. and generally players tend to react better to such changes... happened always with team India - even with Greg chappell.. We won the CB series in Aus in 2008 with no coach remember..

Like it or not Fletcher does have a good track record with England prior to this assignment. Especially in test cricket. You cant tell me that he became so **** overnight. Of course, i thought the bowlers attacked more (bhuvi, shami, mohit was decent) Better if they help umesh on working on accuracy whilst maintaining and increasing pace. Fielding was great too. Lets wait and see, can't be worse than the old lot that told bowlers to bowl top of off all the time.
undisputed chap Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Useless exercise. 4-0 loss is eminent.
moniker Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Great news...Skipper' date=' coach and support staff must remain the same. Chopping and changing is not the solution..patience is :--D[/quote'] The support staff were in fact sacked just after the England tests.
diga Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 The support staff were in fact sacked just after the England tests. technically they were given a "break"... further decision will be taken at the BCCI's working committee meeting on September 26.

We won the CB series in Aus in 2008 with no coach remember.. Does Fletcher even have any say in sharing ideas? I think it is Dhoni all the way. I dont see Fletcher taking any decision. Dhoni runs the team. Fletcher is just a mannequin there.
CSK Fan Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Does Fletcher even have any say in sharing ideas? I think it is Dhoni all the way. I dont see Fletcher taking any decision. Dhoni runs the team. Fletcher is just a mannequin there. Yep and that is the only reason why they want to stick with him. In Chappel's time win or lose, there was a huge conflict and he was thrown out. Dhoni requires a Yes man basically. This will suit him more than a strong coach who would want his way. Pretty sure he is thinking of retiring after the WC
undisputed chap Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Even if we appoint sobers, akram, mcgrath as coaches we will continue to be thrashed overseas.

We won in England, WI and NZ. In fact, stats wise, after the dominating Aussies, we were the second best touring nation for an entire 10 years. However, Dhoni has hit the reset button and we have gone back in time
