...to get that big fat paycheck, u scum bag. I predict a gloomy future ahead of us. I am relieved he'll only "accompany them" on Aus tour but won't be a formal part of it. Imagine if he was - would be an Aus 4-0 whitewash.
There's nothing against foreign coach...but the choice of GK is really a surprise. This guy didn't even apply for this post and right from the beginning..he is saying that 'I am honoured'..Something really fishy going on at BCCI. I think S Gavaskar (dumb head) had made a handsome deal with GK. The truth is; this guy (GK) runs an academy in which he doesn't play any technical role (improving batting skills, bowling - which he doesn't know,fielding-definetely not a great fielder, or is he a strategic analyst-Big NO). GK has hired a team of professionals to run his academy (coach,fitness trainer, physios,mental coach etc) and he is just managing them (counting the money-may be his wife would help him for that).....POOR CHOICE. LONG LIFE GREAT GAVASKAR..
with v prasad (bowling), r singh (fielding), dav whatmore would have been a better choice or someone within India.

that is wat the great great great and only greatest sunil will do.he will do only those which wont save indian cricket.As u rightly said if gary escaping from Aus tour then wat is the point in appointing Gary? that is wat sunil is best in doing.Doing something that wont save indian cricket.Doing nothing when something is to be done to save indian cricket.

big 4 will retire..they will play for 2 more years...without the big 3 we will win only t20 matches
he will obseve one day.After one month he will c wat is happening in our cricket.AFter one month he will c the dressing room.after yet another month he will c the benefits provided to him.Then he will go to c practice sessions............. so on adn so forth.By the time he takes full charge we will c the return of our heroes(ZEroes) from Australia with the captain saying"Our pitches to be improved to make sure we dont loose in Australia in future".This is the regular reply we are hearing from our hopeless BCCI administration and captain/coach/selection committee........etc.
Gary proved to be quite smart .First he said he will take charge after Australian tour.That speaks highly of his smartness.He dont want to be a scape goat for our players'(board's) Ineffciency.Very smart.Watever he is recommended by Great great great great Sunil gavaskar.So he has to be indian coach.(May be sunil would have made money under the mat. who knows in gary's appointment).God would have tired of saving indian cricket

of course, his plan could backfire...... if by a stroke of luck, india would to perform superbly in australia, then expectations for gary would rise.

i disagree...on the contrary it looks to me gary has played a very smart game here. he is going to be in australia for some time only as a "consultant". so if team loses, its not his fault since he isnt a fulltime coach yet and if team wins, then he can say see only consultation did so much, what full dose of gary can do to indian cricket? very smart indeed.
Gary have to do his homeworks b4 coaching Indian team, Indian team s gifted with lots of talents & a living legend, so he hve to prepare himself for a big task ahead. If he tke cre of these things he can win their heart & even world cup for India
Just observing is not enough buddy. This is a tough bunch. If you are thinking that black/brown skins can be handled the way your forefathers handled SA governance during apartheid regime, you are in for a big surprise. If you do not get your management skills right, you will not know what hit you. As Greg...

dont raise such points.He is recommended by the great great great sunil gavaskar.So we got to suffer the same way we suffered under greg chappell
I dont think any miracle will happen in our team under Gary Kristen.we have world class batsmen than Kristen. Then Why Kristen? Whether he is special batman or technical bowler?
Compared to our playes he is just striker.that's all.
i know rahul and sachin are classicallly the best ever in test cricket but from bengal i cant think of better player than saurav. lets hope the big 3 sign off in australia in style. first match saurv scored, rahul was in stupendous form in adelaide and won the match, sachin was g8 in sydney go for it big three
