In Hindi they say "Teen Tigada Kaam Bigada ". Three is indeed an odd number be it the heartbreak 'love triangle' or the current forced triad of Shastri-Fletcher-Dhoni. The way different voices are emerging hope it doesn’t become case of “ too many cooks spoiling the broth”! The very fact that otherwise a cool Dhoni blurts out something impetuously only to be snubbed by BCCI by itself indicates how uneasy the relations are and the slippery wicket Dhoni is on ! It is not clear if BCCI has been able to diagnose the reasons why Dhoni led Indian Test performances over the yrs has blown into a full blown crisis ? Not just losing overseas Tests but even losing home series to England , the fact is that Dhoni has been becoming less and less of the ‘cricketer in white’ mold and and more and more of not just shorter version cricketer but has also acquired off-field multidimensional interests from businessman to commercial operator at different levels. In fact he doesn’t seem to have any passion for the longer version of cricket and is using it only for furthering his commercial interests. In fact after the CT win even the one dayers’ results have been declining .Evidently a dummy like Fletcher reduced to a role of a glorified P.T.Instructor suits Dhoni. No wonder Dhoni finds presence of Ravishastri disturbingly intrusive in one dayers’ domain where Dhoni is supposed to excel !. That explains his statement on Fletcher.

(contd.)..Anyway it remains to be seen if the Shastri-Fletcher-Dhoni triad or just Shastri-Dhoni equation works to reverse the trend!

You are right. Indian board authorities do not have the courage to take action against MSD. How dare he say Fletcher will lead us in 2015 World cup
If Duncan is there are not; it is doubtful India will go beyond group stage; damage is already done; it will be replay 2007 WC. Unless India find some fresh legs it will be difficult to win with the current bunch.
By Keeping fletcher India is inviting trouble because it is sure that india will crash out in the first round itself,they would not be able to win a single odi game against any top cricket playing nations even bangladesh will prove tough nut to crack. Fore India to Progress India should group into India,zimbabwe,bangladesh,Ireland,Kenya in world otherwise there is no hope with fletcher as coach. Afer world cup debacle. Bcci will sack both fletcher and dhoni.This will going to occur wait and watch.
