Number Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Kapil said 15 years ago when these two were senior players they were hell bent on not having Indian coaches. Now both of these 2 want an Indian coach. Do you think its hypocrisy from RD and Dada ? Not able to find it on English news sites yet but many hindi papers are reporting it. links : http://patrika.com/news/cricket/kapil-dev-slams-saurav-ganguly-and-rahul-dravid-1033004/ http://khaskhabar.com/news/sports-reason-why-kapil-dev-angered-on-dravid-and-ganguly-must-read-1-12357.html http://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/sports/indian-premier-league-2015/cricket-news/kapil-dev-criticised-sourav-ganguly-and-rahul-dravid/articleshow/47203642.cms
jf1gp_1 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Kapil said 15 years ago when these two were senior players they were hell bent on not having Indian coaches. Now both of these 2 want an Indian coach. Do you think its hypocrisy from RD and Dada ? Not able to find it on English news sites yet but many hindi papers are reporting it. 15 yrs ago our desi coaches didnt know how to enter password on their laptops login screen, let alone use back-thens modern coaching method, even players had little to no exposure. 15yrs on not just our intentional players but even fringe domestic players are getting exposed to the best of coaching, opportunity to compete/play with international stars. There is nothing new a foreign coach can bring today which we already dont have available. So its unfair to call them hypocrites.
maniac Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Kapil Dev was a great player but a horrible coach,so he has no say here in these matters and I am sure Dravid and Ganguly who both played under him were sored by the experience.

Even Sachin was critical of Kapil Dev as coach in his book.

BeautifulGame Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Both Ganguly and Dravid were right then and Kapil is partly right now . We shouldn't have Indian coaches .Too much baggage
kosingh Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Did Ganguly and Dravid play under Kapil the coach? Who was the Indian coach in 1996 when Ganguly/Dravid appeared on the scene? Gaekwad?
Crookbond Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Did Ganguly and Dravid play under Kapil the coach? Who was the Indian coach in 1996 when Ganguly/Dravid appeared on the scene? Gaekwad? Madan Lal
coffee_rules Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Yes, they were right. In those days, coaches were old people giving catch practice.
Laaloo Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 RD is a hypocrite among many other things. Nothing surprising about that
Shivaji bhonsle Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Did Ganguly and Dravid play under Kapil the coach? Who was the Indian coach in 1996 when Ganguly/Dravid appeared on the scene? Gaekwad? 1999 Aussie tour. India lost every match. Played a tri series and won a match against Pakistan. Pakistanis accused India of cheating and ball tampering. Paaji got angry and said Pakistanis are looking for excuses and ball tampering is Pakistanis specialty.

FlickedOffHips Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I would like to know how credible these reports are. I don't see any quote marks and this could well be a story invented by an imaginative writer. And you know how India media can be- one Journo reports it and the rest start reporting it as fact. I'm not saying the story is not true, I'm just a little skeptical.
Laaloo Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 What? What other things? do you really want to know? If I get started, it will take some days to finish. let me know gullu
bsriharsha Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 the Quality of the Coaches would have improved in 15 years.
