Dhoni is right, the playing 11 is responsible for the loss.The mindset of the players shows that they will anything less than annoyed if the coach interferes into their attitudes,remember chappell and ganguly incident.let them be given chance for one more test and BCCI may decide after the series is over.
Has Fletcher been given the same empowerment by BCCI that ECB gave him? When will be pick a team on current form and not on past performance. The Selectors expect miracles and hope for a genie to create miracles.Survival of the fittest based on form should be the mantra.
Was the best coach that we had...with due respect to dada and his supporters...he was point blank and brought the aggression with him which the seniors found too tough to handle...they dont like them questioned and started revolting...if we have given an extended run and had the board supported Chappel, we would have had the best team and would have become world beaters..we had world record of consecutive wins while chasing, series wins in Eng,WI and our first Test victory in SA..he was too aggressive in getting the team prepared for the WC which the seniors simply failed to understand..they put themselves before the country and not the other way around...and Dravid was deemed a puppet..actually he was one of a great thinking captain we had...Greg's motto was simple, keep fit, perform or perish..do not stay in team on past histories or charisma..Kirsten never intervened with the board and let the board run the team...fletcher is in two minds whether to dictacte or dance to the captain's tunes..so bring back Greg...crack a whip to the board and non performing players..save indian cricket
Ashwin says of Fletcher : "He doesn't interfere much about the technique but instead focuses on minor things which are equally important." When major things are wrong with our players , if you focus on minor things , that's a recipe for disaster.
What major things ? 1. Batsmen who can't stay at the crease for 3-4 hours . 2. Spinners who can't adjust pace and turn to suit the conditions. Pacers who don't have swing or seam
3. Captain and Board who think all is well and its all a minor blip.
