Gary Kirsten as Indian cricket coach- insult for Indian cricket coaches



Gary Kirsten 's selection as Indian cricket coach is an insult to indigenous Indian cricket coaches


Gary Kirsten has been selected as the Indian cricket coach. This is nothing short of an open insult to all the coaches of Indian cricket


There is incredible coaching talent in India and it is a sad mockery of Indian cricket that people like Gary Kirsten are selected and great coaches like Sandeep Patil and Achrekar are in the wilderness


Gary Kirsten has no cricket coaching experience


Gary Kirsten has no cricket coaching experience and has been selected as the Indian cricket coach but renowned coaches like Sandeep Patil who successfully coached the Kenyan cricket team to the World cup cricket semifinals are repeatedly ignored


The BCCI obviously likes Gary Kirsten for his "lack of experience"!


Gary Kirsten has made a lot of derogatory remarks about India and its culture


Gary Kirsten 's remarks indicate that he will never integrate into the Indian cricket team or understand the Indian cricket culture. Gary Kirsten has subjected the Indian secondary towns to great criticism and this will obviously not go well with most of the Indian cricket team , who come from small Indian towns


I can bet that Gary Kirsten 's tenure will be short and will do as much damage to Indian cricket as Greg Chappell 's tenure as Indian cricket coach

Geoff Lawson,Pakistan cricket board makes another coaching mistake


Geoff Lawson selected by Pakistan cricket board as Pakistan cricket coach


Geoff Lawson is the only cricket coach that the Pakistan cricket board could find to fill the void left by Woolmer's death


Geoff Lawson? Hey, wait a minute, Geoff Lawson has no coaching experience and does not even qualify as a cricket coach


Geoff Lawson's appointment tells us how stupid Indian and Pakistan cricket boards are to appoint foreign coaches


Geoff Lawson is now the Pakistan cricket coach. We are talking about the Pakistan cricket team not the Scotland cricket team,for God's sake


Pakistan has a rich cricket tradition spanning across decades,so it is amazing that the Pakistan cricket board could not find any one former Pakistan player, leave alone a coach for the Pakistan cricket team.


Selecting people like Geoff Lawson is an insult to former Pakistan and Indian cricketers and coaches


Indian and Pakistan cricket boards seem to have a low opinion of former cricketers of their own countries as cricket coaches.What is scary is that the Indian and Pakistan cricket boards do not seem to learn from the Greg Chappell and the Woolmer debacles when the cultures of the coach and the players just did not match


By selecting Geoff Lawson, the Pakistan cricket board have really lowered the bar


Based on Geoff Lawson's selection as Pakistan cricket coach, trust the Indian cricket board to compete by coming up with another weird selection for the post of Indian cricket coach. Who will the Indian cricket board select this time? Thomson?

3 Secret reasons why Ford was selected as Indian cricket coach


Why Ford was selected as Indian cricket coach


The secret is out, Ford has been selected as the Indian cricket coach. Have you wondered why Ford was selected as Indian cricket coach?


Here are some of Ford's qualifications which made him the best candidate for the post of Indian cricket coach


    Ford's candidature for Indian cricket coach

  • Ford is not a citizen of India. This is the most important criterion to select Ford as the Indian cricket coach

  • Ford has good experience of match fixing. I will not say more, but the Indian cricket board, BCCI,obviously thinks that Ford's experience in match fixing in Cronjegate will help his tenure in the Indian cricket team

  • Ford has not played test or one day international cricket.This is another important criteria which has resulted in Ford being selected as Indian cricket coach. The Indian cricket board is cunning enough to realize that a person like Ford who has not played International cricket has not had the opportunity made any major blunders in his cricketing career


  • ford

    The Indian cricket board has thus made an intelligent decision by selecting Ford as the Indian cricket coach since Ford met all the preconditions needed to be the Indian cricket coach
