In my view neither Gavaskar nor Shastri fit in the panel to find a right coach coz during their tenure as players they were not sooo successful captains, but they were successful as individual players. I m dragging this point b'coz they never took right decision when they were captains, so how can we imagine that they will take a right decision to find a right coach for India(which has soo many stars that when one clicks everybody clicks and at most of the times everybody fails and coz of the star power they will play each and every game no matter how badly the team fares, and here comes the responsibility of the coach that is to tell a player that he is being ommited coz he is not performing well or up to the standards which have been set no matter how big a player is.). But I agree that Mr.Gavaskar is a legend and the most respected person around, but this not does not mean that he can find a right coach for India.
Whomsoever be the new coach,an Indian or a Foreigner,they should be allowed to do a professional job and team selction should be entirely his and captain's without any interference from the BCCI or its chief.Then only our cricket team could thrive to be the best.A place in the team should be purely out of performance and out of "my man" "His man" etc.
I don't understan why Dalmia is ther in the board of selection for coach ? Player like Kapildev, Shrikant, Amarnath who knows a real Cricket. Aslo in the team selection group such player should be included so that selection of players will be unbiased. JP.Yadav has the best allrounder perfomance but so unfortunate that he will be getting older in the domestic cricket only. We need a allrounder with batting and medium pace bowling capacity like Jummy Amarnath, Not Dinesh Mongia, We have tones of spinners in the team. We don't need spiners. All onday winning teams has medium(fast) pacer allrounder, like Kallis, Razzaq,Cris Crains,Symonds,Filntoff, So please select one young all rounder as long term player. Now in the current team we have all attacking batsman, we need a batsman who is good in singles and keep roatating strike. Every one comes in the team wants to score big runs which is not possible. We need to re arrange the batting order. Not Shewag, sachin, Dhoni, Yuvi in same order, We need to move kaif up the order, so that is a balance order. When we need to increase the run rate we have no attacking bastmen left all in the dressing room please do something God Bless u
Wondering why people speak so bad about Dalmiaya .He is the only one who can be a CEO of BCCI FOREVER. He is taken cricket into international markets ,made Indian cricket lucrative .What was it before ? .People wanted Sharad Powar (Power ) to run the show or a Laloo .Please dont bring Politics into cricket .Understood there is a lot of politics in Cricket team selections but what will happen when politicians fully enter cricket .No doubt Gavaskar is everything in Indian Cricket ,a true ambassador bUt dont forget why was Rohan picked in the team when the need was to pick Dinesh Mongia in one of the series .People envy about Dalamiaya but is there anyone who can get into his shoe other than Dalmiaya himself ?
