What the fokking hell is happening BCCI?

Well the Aus slam bam games are also over....The Bangals tour - tests and Jamodis, The Saffie Jamodis in UK, England tests, England JAMODIS, 20-20 WC, Aus Jamodis and now Pak visiting in 10 days and still we don't have a bloody COACH. What happened? When do they plan on hiring? Next year? Has this happened in last 15 years? A side like India without a coach for a full season now? With two tough rubbers against Pak and Aus coming up, when will they hire someone and when will that person acclimatize and work with the team? Disgustingly it looks like they have no intention to hire one and appear to have forgotten about hiring one completely. It looks like they are not even friggin' trying anymore....!!!!

still we don't have a bloody COACH.

Offer Jake White the job, even though he's rugby, rather than cricket. After all, he helped us win the World Cup, was voted International Coach of the Year, and is about to be fired by the SAfrican rugby union.

Maybe they have taken the advice of Chappell ...Ian , not Greg ...and decided that coaches are unnecessary ...

Hey, what's the problem Batman? India has won the t20 world thingy and beaten Australia in another t20. The game must be rosy in India.

That's right, the Indian Express has taken off without coaches, it's just a little loco ...

India is full of young hitters right now who are damn good on flat tracks. Give them just 20 overs to survive and they will keep winning. But as results in England one dayers and Aus ones suggest, None is consistant and they lack the skills and the temperament to play the traditional games.

It's sad that India still needs senior 3 to perform to win matches consistantly. Not having coaches and loading the players with added responsibility is not good.

Terrific. They drop a player like Dravid for failing a one day series but re-instate Sehwag based on absolutely nothing to show he is in form. When Sachin goes through 3 series of absolute bad patch, he is not dropped, but a more valuable player like Dravid is shown the door the minute he fails a few JAMODIs?

And now a coach will be announced right in the middle of the Pak series to shake things a bit. Couldn't they have finalized a coach before the Paksters arrived? Now that Pawar is President, The mumbai lobby is all over screwing Indian Cricket. Jokers like Shastri are the advisors, egoists like Gavaskar and Vengasarkar are screwing up with coach and player selections and now BCCI is determined to see India suffer more test igominies by bringing in Sachin as Captain. A man who is half the time losing matches due to injuries and who should be allowed to bat his last couple of years without responsibilities is being handled the pressure again. Like Lara, Sachin was simply meant to be a very good batsman and not a captain. Both were dismal failures as captain time and time again and yet BCCI refuses to see the writing on the wall. The only reason he is now captain is because Pawar and his Mumbai-Maharashtra lobby is calling all the shots. Regionalism over merit has taken precedence. We should now prepare to see Sachin struggling to cope with Captaincy worries, injuries and his batting soon and this is not the best way forward for Indian Cricket surely. The man cracked up under added pressure twice before so why spoil his alst stretch of his cricket journey by hidnering him with this responsibility. When will India Cricket ever get out of petty regional politics? Who will lead India in tests if Sachin gets unfit again? Couldn't they show some maturity and give the job to someone who can show some more consistancy as a leader? Sachin has never enjoyed the job in the past so what's the point? The last time he toured Aus as captain we were whitewashed 3 -0 and lost to Saffies at home 2 - 0 losing 5 consecutive tests. If Dhoni is the man according to the selectors then give it to him. Else give it to someone who has enjoyed the job better like Ganguly if they only want such stop gap arrangements. Why can't they just leave Sachin alone?
