why dont BCCI appoint Indian coach who remains fulltime with team rather than foreign coach who remains in their country spending holidays during breaks and joins teams 2-3 days before start of series. Flether joins jyst 2 days before first teat series. Players required ti be coached during breaks and how can they coach if they remains absent. ITS HIGH TIME WE SHOULD GO FOR INDIAN COACH.
BCCI should give same kinda pay for Test cricket like IPL. Probably the only way to get players motivated. Its a shame India is creating record by losing series after series. Stakes are very high in Test cricket, it is no longer a boring 5 days event. Best we could do is to prepare identical pitches like Aussie and English ones here for Ranji and other domestic matches. Its hard to digest the fact that India cannot produce a reverse swinger, a real pacer in a century long game that is played and watched with passion. Before and after Kapil, India couldnt find a good international bowler.

The coach deserves an axe. There is still lots of talent in Indian team. Boys are not able to stay long in the crease, rotate strike, convert 50s to 100s due to lack of motivation.
All decisions are made at Srinivasan's office. Players from CSK are promoted in Team selection.
The Dumb: The Indian selectors are spineless for recycling the failed characters again and again. Guess there now we know the reason why Mohinder Amarnath was thrown out by BCCI.
The Dumber: Indian coach is clueless on how to handle the team in India and outside. The team lacks the strategic planning and tactical wisdom of Gary Kirsten. Time to replace this coach.
The Dumbest: MS Dhoni is proving to be disaster. He interferes in team selection favoring CSK players, has failed to lead the team, and does "Nothing" when going gets tough. He has insulted his tame mates (Whiskey ad on Harbhajan's dad), senior players (Laxman, Dravid, Sehwag, Tendulkar), and does not know how to work with the ground staff to develop the pitches to a plan. He continues shamelessly to persist with failing stars (Rohit Sharma, Raina, Jadeja), His bowling changes are mindless, field placements atrocious, and wicketkeeping below par. Time to replace him with someone more energetic who can "lead' the team.
Dear all peoples of India - an very Good Evening. My name is Basavaraja from Bengaluru.
Today I am talk about the yesterday match and our team selector.
We lose yesterday match because of the main cuplrit - Ravichandran Ashwin. He have no brain. How can he remained on 91 and can't able to hit an century? If our Kumble from Bengaluru were given 91 runs means he easily hit an century.
Our Selector instead of removed the Harbhajan, he should removed the Ashwin. Harbhajan is an turbanator - he have proove many time before, what Ashwin have prove? Atleast bring back our Kumble, he is feel very bore at home.
If Zaheer can play test match, why cannot our Prasad? He is world best slow-ball-pace-bowler. Now they removed Zaheer, then what our Vinay Kumar done? He already taken in team many time, he must filled the shoe of Zaheer Khan.
They done correct by removed the Yuvraj. But why select the Jadeja? Ravindra Jadeja is an flat wicket bulli. He hitted both triple centurys on Rajkot which is an batsmens paradise. What happen to our Robin Utapa? He can bat good than Yuvraj and wicket keep good than Dhoni.

I seriously think that he is writing such commetns to defame bengaluru. Bcoz else how can somebody write such horrible english? And i have seen some comments previously posted by him. He aliways brings out some points which doesnt make sense to anybody. Needless to say the english there was also poor. But whatever it is, he never forgets to quote that he is from bengaluru. If he is a genuine person, then we should all bow our head and seek blessings of this great person who has discovered a brand new language

AFTER FLETCHER LEFT ENGLAND team as coach it has won both the ashes series it has played,
In 2009 England won 2-1; In 2011 England won 3-1.
need any more proof about the incompetence of Duncan "good for nothin" Fletcher??
I agree with guru. Just for thoughts. Do you think Gary Kirsten was riding on the efforts of the ‘no nonsense’ and tough coach Greg Chappell? Kirsten is more of a people person with focus on relationship. He came in the right time when Chappell’s toughness was putting great stress on the players. Something similar to a ‘bad cop’ ‘good cop’ situation practiced by police and investigators (we also see in movies) for interrogation. I think the ‘good cop’ factor is lasting too long and we need a tougher coach/management implementing a stricter fitness regime for the players. Batsmen need to go through serious preparations on fast pitches before going for overseas tours and on slow turning ones before home tours. This series has shown us a lesson on never to be complacent on our home tours too.
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.
