Indian Discussion

reading Tim Nielsen's comments on cricinfo I am getting butterflies in my stomach even though I am a neutral spectator. Although since Dravid has gone out of the Indian side my support for the Indian team has come down somewhat.

India v Australia, World Cup 2011: Australia coach says India game is a mini-final | Cricket News | ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[blahblahblah]

okay

Pathan is due a 50 because I have money on him (and Gambhir) to do so.

Think that Shaun Tait and Munaf Patel are due to bat a ton, personally. It's been a while (forever, actually) since they scored one and we all know what that means.

Langer keen to coach India

Well that would be a shame to lose him

 

[vcs]

Don't want him to bring Australia's batting collapses and inability to play the moving ball along with him..

Though I suspect we'll get that anyway no matter who's the coach when Sachin/Dravid/Laxman finally retire from Tests.

[Jono]

He won't be the coach of India.

What experience did Gary have before taking the job? I'm going to miss him..

 

[Spark]

He won't be the coach of India.

I'll make sure of it!

 

[Shri]

Would be surprised if Ganguly doesn't take the job when Kirsten leaves.

 

[blahblahblah]

ganguly as a coach?

I think Langer would be an excellent fit to coach India.

 

[honestbharani]

I heard Fleming was more of a frontrunnner?

I hope we can get one of Brian Lara/Shane Warne/Wasim Akram to coach us.

 

[salman85]

I doubt if Wasim will take the job.Even if he wants to.He got enough stick for helping out Irfan Pathan and i don't see him taking up the job officially.

Warne would be a great choice though.Lara doesn't strike me as the coaching type.

Dav Whatmore anyone?Has a good coaching record.

 

[Sanz]

I hope we can get one of Brian Lara/Shane Warne/Wasim Akram to coach us.

Maybe Shane Warne. But no way I want Lara or Akram as our Coach.

 

[Spark]

Please, take him. Spare us from his batting "coaching".

I hope we can get one of Brian Lara/Shane Warne/Wasim Akram to coach us.

WTF? No way they'll handle the brutal inquisition by the media. I know Warne loves the media, but even he would find it hard with so many people at his throat every time India lose a match. He'd probably lose it at some stage and react horribly. No, we want a low-key individual.

perfectly managing yourself in front of 1 bn+ people is what is required and not everyone can do it
