shastri as a test batsman has 7 AWAY test 100s one in australia- a double hundred against Mcdermott Reid Hughes Warne, 2 100s against england, 2 100s against pakistan facing bowlers like imran khan sarfraz nawaz and abdul qadir and 2 100s against WI facing bowlers like marshal, roberts, holding, ambrose, walsh, bishop...
Everyone can sense the propaganda rediff is being paid to propagate.Shstri is a good for nothing man,appointed here and there by BCCI just due to his political masters.He is a complete 'no substance only showoff' man.

I agree Abhishek but most importantly why BCCI shelling out heavy amount to Shastri as director but can't understand what's his job? If he is coach,he failed miserably. Though I have gut feeling that Dhoni's performance nose dived since his inclusion. May be conflict of ideas. I may be wrong but Shastri doesn't deserve the position he is holding though he was a great player undoubtedly.

I completely agree he is very pompous without much substance.Possibly only Indian cricketer who had been hooted & compelled to retire.He is a stooge.Indian Cricket will be in shambles in very near future.

Absolutely right you are. He was a mediocre cricketer who owed his position in team to gavaskar and later his stint with BCCI to his political bosses and heads like srini, dalmia et al. He is absolute third rate as a cricketer and human being too.why such a write up in his support? must be a paid thing.

If a player is persisted despite failures he will learn but by the time team has been beaten. How may games our bowlers and batteries require to get in. Most of the top class teams when they toured India always performed better than India in overseas.
