When there was a specific question as to what is your job, he says that he is doing everything so that the players give their best on the ground.
There are around 8 good teams in the world, around 40 top batsmans are there. Take the Australian Team; they are taking into account the weakness and strengths of these 40 players and evolving strategy of bowling and fieldsing for these 40 top class batsmans. Also there may be around 30 top class bowlers, Aus team prepare themselves as to how to face them, analysing their strengths and weakness. This kind of job is primarly being done by Manager with the guidance of coach. Players use these data to prepare themselves. That is why Aus team is very perfect world first class team today.
When there was a specific question, Lalchand could not specifically say anything he just trying to take credit of the performance of the players, by saying, doing everything so that players give their best.
He is just one more number in the team. May be watchdog of the Board, during the tour.
my team for first test 1. jaffer 2. kaarthik 3. dravid 4. sachin 5. ganguly 6. laxman 7. yuvraj 8. dhoni 9. sehwag 10. kumble 11. pathan
12th man rp singh
many eye brows will raise looking at the above team but the logic behind this is we dont have any express bowlers or match winner bowlers who can take 20 wickets to win a test in australia.
second thing if we can draw a test, that will boost our players confidence, and it will be a morale win for us.
third aus will try their best to give us a white wash...
so looking at all the factors this team can atleast draw a test in australia.
To hell with you Lalchand. All the bullshit you are saying is meaningless and nobody cares a damn. You are good enough to be a coach of under13 team and stay there.
I dont think india will do well as a unit. There will be only insatnces of individual briallances. one day sachin will score the other day yuvraj will score. Indian bowlers will struggle like nethin. I hope they return home fit if not hit:) Fielding will be under the scanner too specially in the test series as most of the senior players are not too lazy and old to jump and dive. I think only batting can save us from a whitewash. I am predicting a 3-0 kind of scoreline for the upcoming series.
