BeautifulGame Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Dhoni feels Michael Hussey right for India coach’s job MS Dhoni may have retired from Test cricket, but he is still thinking about the dressing room. It is only a matter of time before Dhoni ceases to be an integral part of the dressing room, with some even predicting that the 2015 World Cup could be his last assignment. If his close friends are to be believed, the World Cup could be his last appearance as an international cricketer. But what is concerning him is the culture of the dressing room, which he has carefully created with Gary Kirsten. It is almost a foregone conclusion that Duncan Fletcher’s time in the dressing room is ticking. Fletcher’s contract with the BCCI expires after the World Cup. Having lost the series in Australia, Fletcher’s only brief remaining is to do well in the World Cup. And, that means winning the Cup. In the meantime, Dhoni has floated the name of Michael Hussey for the position Fletcher has assumed. In a carefully calibrated way, Dhoni’s intent and communication about Hussey has reached the top BCCI boss, and nobody else is privy to this. The reason for backing Hussey is believed to be Dhoni’s proximity to the Australian cricketer who also represented the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Dhoni sees a brilliant thinker and man manager in Hussey who can bring calmness and camaraderie to the dressing room like Kirsten. Besides being a non-confrontational character, Hussey has been the brain behind Murali Vijay’s success in Australia --- Vijay apparently overcame the challenges of playing in Australia with Hussey’s help. The best part about Hussey is that he is a contemporary cricketer and his thinking is modern. Besides, his work ethic is something that Kirsten had once cited while lashing out at India players in the West Indies after the team had crashed out of the World T20 Championship. It is a known fact that the team has not been able to get over the fact that Kirsten is not around, with India players still talking about the time spent under the South African. But, given that the BCCI is going through a tumultuous phase, Dhoni’s suggestion will have to wait. Also, the board usually consults former cricketers, especially Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri, when it comes to assessing candidates for the coach’s job. The only thing that might go against Hussey is his nationality. The BCCI and the Indian team’s bad experience with Greg Chappell could come in the way of Hussey being roped in. Nevertheless, the power balance and the decision making in the BCCI rests with one individual who, for every reason, might subscribe to the suggestion on Hussey, which might not be a bad idea after all. Would have preferred Fleming but Hussey is great imo.
bulbul Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 If we are going to put unqualified coaches why cant make Dravid or Laxman?
bulbul Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 what about bowling????? Dhoni will suggest tomorrow.
tweaker Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I don't think Hussey has any experience of coaching,so it will be difficult for him to directly coach a international team
tweaker Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I don't think Dhoni has any value left to suggest a name for next coach.Why didn't he opened his mouth when he was captain
bulbul Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I don't think Dhoni has any value left to suggest a name for next coach.Why didn't he opened his mouth when he was captain Don't ask tough question :cantstop:
BeautifulGame Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 what about bowling????? Agree need a good bowling coach who has success in Australia SA etc . We never had a great bowling bowling not even a good one. Have Hussey as head coach and someone like Lee as bowling Bosch.Its not like BCCI can't afford it
vayuu1 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I think Steve waugh, Mcgrath combination, would be good for india.
kosingh Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 We have the great Ravi Shastri who doesn't give two hoots about results. Why bring in someone else
diga Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Justin Langer is already a coach of Western Australia/Perth Scorchers.. not a bad coach
zep1706 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 How about poaching Boof from Australia? I like him. I kid I kid.
BeautifulGame Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 Justin Langer is already a coach of Western Australia/Perth Scorchers.. not a bad coach Isn't he Australia batting coach ?
diga Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Isn't he Australia batting coach ? nope...Michael Di Venuto
Texan Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I don't think Hussey has any experience of coaching' date='so it will be difficult for him to directly coach a international team[/quote'] Gary Kirsten had no prior coaching experience as well when he was made India coach.
BeautifulGame Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 I would look no further than Sourav Ganguly :hysterical: For what exactly? Not a great test batsman ,Never won a series outside sub continent (ex Zim) Never a great team player either and has massive ego Would be the worst thing we will do
G_B_ Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 does this guy have any experience? just cause it worked with Kirsten does not mean it will work with Hussey
oneANDone Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I would look no further than Sourav Ganguly Then danda become best death bowler in no time :nervous:
