Another peice of favor by our so called CAPTIAN to his state.....or south India...
He is the one, who suggested Prasad name for the coach & finally convinced the comittee to appoint him. There are lot of coach who are doing good job from years for the state teams & other national level. But no one wants to try something different in India. What they want to see is past expierience. Look at Australian support staff including coaches..... you won;t find anyone who has played for a long time in oneday international.....
I dont know how to contact you but I hope you read this. Do you think you are Indian? If so, do you have Patriotism? Would you like to see a stronger Indian Cricket Team? Would you like to see a better bowling in Indian pace attack? Would you like to see some enthusiasm and aggression in our Bowlers?
If your answer was Yes to all the above, then...
Please leave the silly job given to you by the ridiculous BCCI.
I will consider it as a wise and a patriotic decision made by you ever.

Hey Sweet, This chap has passed Grade 'C' course to be a bowling coach. This is conducted by the EWCB (Hope you know what that is!). Btb, being sedate dosen't mean you can't coach aggressive bowlers. Take the case of Shane's bowling coach. I think he just played for Victoria. But look at his students, Shane warne, Stuart McGill, craig white etc. Now what have you got to say. Don't just type something for the sake of typing. Have some sense. Cheers PG

Mr. Sweet, I am not from B'lore and also in fact none of use are here to arguee with you since you don't have any knowledge of cricket.

yeah yeah we all know you and your venkatesh prasad are top rank holders in cricket.... i can bet india cannot win Srilanka and Australia from now on if the silly goof prasad is around with dumb ideas.
bowling coach doesnt mean that he has to be a real fast bowler, tactics matters, mushtaq ahmed was chosen mainly as bowling coach for paki's , v shud not forget 99 world cup where v won becoz of prasad, he got vital wickets , he is known for his deadly leg cutters and slowers in the slog overs, a real pace bowler doesnt have to be bowling at very high speed. we should be happy atleast we have a bowling coach, imagine before this john wright and greg chappell used to coach with ball, so this is better

buddy im from chennai,right now in europe infact i dnt like bengaluru players other than dravid. . once upon a time indian team was actually bombay and bengaluru team, 6 5. then ganguly got stupids like deepdasgupta , sachin brought idiots like samit dighe but they dumped good one's like vijay dahiya
RE:leg cutters
by Sweet on Apr 18, 2007 07:56 PM
You are right Vinoth, even now players like agarkar and sehwag are thriving at the behest of Sachin... Now indian team is a mix of Bengalurulu and mumbai... Hope they stop their dirty partialities and start selecting a true team India....
RE:leg cutters
by vinoth chandrasekar on Apr 18, 2007 08:20 PM
look at the way ganguly plays now, becoz of his turtle game the other guy who plays with him gets irritated and gets out, he plays as if like he is playing for a draw, his strike rate is very very bad nowadays, until politics is there in BCCI we cant even dream indian victory, the other day one indian fan got his shirt autographed by kevin o brien the irish guy, we have to be ashamed ourself, agarkar and sehwag has to b out, where sehwag can b given a chance after he prooves in domestic matches, yuvraj has to learn to play against spinners, bhajji bowls economically but he needs to know how to get bowl wicket taking deliveries, sachin shud learn to play in tense situation, dravid inspite of being an MBA shud know how to lead the team and every1 shud back their captain, but dravid said stupidly, senior players dint mind his decision, first of all sachin should open the innings, no uthappa or kuthappas

I remember only one game of prasad. Amir sohail hit him for a 4 and told him thats the way to treat your(prasad's)bowling. Very next ball prasad bowled him and showed him the way tp pavillion. Great aggression!!
RE:leg cutters
by Renuchandran on Apr 18, 2007 11:05 PM
I remember that match very vividly. It was a great victory, lots of excitement. I was watching with family and huge gathering of friends. When Pakistan started their reply, it looked like they will run away with the match. Venky's wicket turned the match around. When Amir Sohail got bowled, there was a huge roar from our group and also from all around the neighbour hood that lasted for like 10 minutes. There were crackers and people dancing on the streets. It was like a festival.
Mr.Venkatesh prasad..Have u ever gave a thought that u'll get this chance..the answer is straight enough---100% Nope.first of all BCCI's Nuts might be down and out to select you.we all indians know about your Pace bowling.wow.156kmph...c'mon think yourself before being fooled away.no way we can accept you as our bowling coach dear.oh,..yeah might be for U-14 Indian Team.
RE:RE:Think..!
by Prabu Girirajan on Apr 18, 2007 08:36 PM
Oh C'mon guys. What do you know abt Venky Prasad. This chap has passed internationally recognised coaching program conducted by the EWCB! He is not there to fool around! Do you know the speed at which Bret Lee's coach bowled. cut the crap! and don't talk about coaching.
RE:Think..!
by Prabu Girirajan on Apr 19, 2007 11:55 AM
Yep I do know the speed in which they operate. But before posting any comment understand what is stated in the message. You don't have to be bowling fast to coach fast bowlers. Most ppl confuse bowling with coaching. These are two different aspects of the game!. Mike Young is a Baseball chap, but coaching the Aussies on fielding. Now what do you say about that? You don't have to be a Akram or a Waqar to coach. You can be a Troy Cooley (as shown by england in 2005 and Aus in 2006-07) to get the best out of your bowlers. Cheers PG
once i read an interview by robin uttappa in the hindu newspaper in which he said "NO ONE HAS SEEN HIS REAL GAME". but i have not seen him batting for more than 5 overs in a match. this is his real game.

hey mate...thts a good comment..we all can hope our team wil play for our country...some day..
Leg spinners would be able to learn a lot from Venkatesh Prasad. But we don't have a coach for fast bowling and off spinners yet. We would need two more bowling coaches. My suggestion would be Anil Kumble for fast bowling and Atul Wasan for off spin.
RE:Good for leg spinners
by Mr kumar on Apr 18, 2007 07:36 PM
I think you forgotten that in India we don't have Fast bowlers.. all r medium pacers..... so one coach for medium pacers also... may be Srikant is better.... he knows how to bat with medium pacers... now he will tell how they should not bowl....

by Prabu Girirajan on Apr 18, 2007 08:44 PM
This is the heck nth time I am responding to calls like Ganguly saved Dravid's ODI carreer by asking him to keep wickets. Good god. Dravids ODI carreer flourished during the 1998-1999 series to Newzealand just before the 1999 world cup. As a matter of fact he was the highest run getter in the 1999 edition of the cup. He wasn't wicket keeping then rather Nyan Mongia was the keeper then. Dravid was asked to keep wickets because India could not find a good all rounde. And just to get the batting combinatin right he took up the responsiblity of keeping wickets. Don't dare to write such crap. If you do feel like, then just provide me with a link to support your claims. Cheers PG

The only conmsistent player that indian team has is dravid. HIs ODI batting strike rate is above 70. The most selfish player that indian taem had is Ganguly. During his captainship, even after failing on several occsion, it was dravid, tendulkar and shewag who led indian team to victory. despite of his continuous failure ganguly captained india only becos of left right(john wright) and lele. Chapell did one good thing during his entire term as a coach, that he sacked ganguly not only from captainship but also from the team. It as only during dravid's captainship and in absence of ganguly, we managed to win 17 ODI's ina strech chasing the target. Later when his(ganguly's) another god father sharad pawar became president of BCCI, ganguly came back into the side. Again he being the most selfish, he started to play slow innings, he score at the strike rate in early 40's. he just wanted to cement his place in the team irrespective of whether india wins or lose.

Vebkatesh Prasad has been picked up by a JOKER (INDIA's worst capatain, Mr. Gum) as bowling coach and approaved by his mafia (non-cricketing) partners in BCCI.
Prasad will be become another bing JOKER soon.
Other than Prasad, Mr. Gum (Fevicol) could not find any other bowler in INDIA/WORLD as a bowling coach. That's his another GREATNESS (!!!) of Captaincy......
Mr. Gum could not see his death scene before, in and after WC-07.

dravid is no 5 batsman and gagnuly and sachin played many odis as opening batsman. but dravid performance in aborad against strong bowling attack is better than ganguly sachin. dravid 53 fiftis out of 78 fifites and 6500 runs out of 10k runs scored aborad and he remained 31 times not out and he is highest catch holder for in both forms of game

I know they cannot play in matches.. but they can play games with the team, fans, advts, etc.. May be Greg Chappel should be the "divide team coach" and Sunil Gavaskar should be the "Team work coach". Then we will be champions in 2011 world cup.
