Why Graham Ford refused to be Indian cricket coach?

Graham Ford has refused BCCI's offer to be Indian cricket coach

Graham Ford is definitely one of the world's most intelligent cricket coaches. In fact, by refusing BCCI's offer to become the Indian cricket coach, Graham Ford has reaffirmed his stature as one of cricket's best thinkers

The Indian cricket team coach's position is an invitation to a cesspool

Graham Ford obviously realized that the Indian cricket coach's positions is a dangerous one, with the pressures of the Indian media, the huge expectations from the Indian cricket loving public and the interference from the cricket board, the BCCI

Even Greg Chappell was successful in the position of Indian cricket coach for some time, despite his obvious shortcomings,but soon sunk deep inside the quagmire

The Indian cricket team needs a cricket manager, not a cricket coach

As Kapil Dev pointed out many times, the Indian cricket team needs a cricket manager and not a cricket coach. Ye, BCCI gurus, at least now, heed the words of Kapil Dev, India's most astute cricket hand, and appoint a cricket manager who will only motivate but not attempt to coach

Graham Ford has smartly evaded the offer to be Indian cricket coach, but who will be the next victim of the BCCI?

Greg Chappell-The Damage Guru Greg has caused Indian cricket

Greg Chappell has scarred the Indian cricket team

Greg Chappell's experimentation theory has damaged the careers of several members of the Indian cricket team

Greg Chappell's coaching seems to suggest that no Indian cricket player is secure in the Indian cricket team,even if the Indian cricket player is secure,he has no clue which batting number he will be batting at

Greg Chappell can take his experimentation elsewhere

When talking about Greg Chappell's experimentation, Kapil Dev said it best- Greg is free to take his experimentation elsewhere, but Greg should leave the Indian cricket team out of it

Greg Chappell does not practice the Australian way,either

Greg Chappell knows that the Australian cricket team hardly ever changes the batting order or the core Australian cricket team. Gilchrist has been opening the Australian cricket team's batting for ages and Ponting has always been playing at number 3 in the Australian cricket team

Whose side is Greg Chappell on when he makes these stupid changes in the Indian batting order?

Have you forgotten Greg Chappell's nastiness?

Greg Chappell has survived despite his inherent nastiness

• 
  Greg Chappell uttered nasty statements against Sourav Ganguly and mentioned that Sourav is playing solely for money


• Greg Chappell's dirty gesture at Calcutta will not be forgotten

Greg Chappell survives due to the inherent niceness of the Indian cricket fan and the apathy of Indian cricket board

Sehwag-The importance of being Viru of Indian cricket

Sehwag-the importance of being Viru of the Indian cricket team

Sehwag is repeatedly being selected in the Indian cricket team for his "superhuman match winning skills".Is this hope of Sehwag putting up a match winning score justified to keeping him in the Indian cricket team indefinitely

Sehwag is another of the long procession of the Indian cricket team's superstars

Sehwag and the triumph of individual cricketing talent in the Indian cricket team

Sehwag epitomizes the importance of the "hero syndrome" affecting the idolizing Indian cricket spectators,selectors and other cricket followers

Before Sehwag,there was Sachin Tendulkar, before Sachin there were Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev-For every success, these Indian cricket stars like Sehwag are treated like Gods and dumped after every failure

Sehwag's importance and New Zealand's success

In comparison to Sehwag's individual talent, no one in the New Zealand cricket team has had super talent, apart from maybe Richard Hadlee, but the New Zealand cricket team has been reasonably successful in world cricket

There seems to be a virtue in not having great talent and the expectations the talent leads itself to

Kapil Dev's indomitable spirit-The Indian cricket team needs this

Kapil Dev-The greatest Indian cricketer ever

Kapil is,without a doubt,the greatest cricketer the Indian cricket team has ever produced

Kapil Dev's intense passion for the Indian cricket team, the dedication Kapil Dev showed, and his raw talent have no parallel in Indian cricket history

Kapil Dev- the world cup cricket tournament brings nostalgic memories

Kapil Dev was the Indian cricket' team's icon during the cricket World cup in 1983. Kapil Dev's catch of Vivian Richards and his 183 not out against Zimbabwe were the lasting images of the cricket World cup in 1983

Kapil Dev says "no" to stupid experimentation by Greg Chappell

Kapil Dev retains his passion for Indian cricket even after he has retired from international cricket. In a recent interview, Kapil Dev said that Greg Chappell is free to do his experimentation but not with
"his" Indian cricket team.The Indian cricket team needs a coach or manager who understands the Indian psyche or culture- not an Australian misfit who was not even a good coach for South Australia

A Kapil Dev like inspiring leader is needed for the Indian cricket team - not a goody-goody person like Dravid!

Cricket Australia will never choose a foreign cricket coach!

Cricket Australia will never choose a foreign cricket coach

Cricket Australia has just announced the appointment of Nielson as coach of the Australian national cricket team. Nielson was formerly Buchanan's assistant coach and played eight seasons for the South Australia cricket team

The Australian cricket team will always select an Australian cricket coach

Cricket Australia always selects an Australian as a national cricket coach,which believes in the 'Australian way' of playing cricket. There is no jingoism attached to selecting an Australian as the national coach, its just that Cricket Australia has selected a coach who understands cricket and also the Australian way of playing cricket.

Why don't Indian cricket selectors select Indian cricket coaches

The Indian cricket selectors are stupid enough to select foreign coaches who dont understand Indian and Asian culture. John Wright was smarter and quickly adapted himself to the Indian methods of coaching and motivation. Greg Chappell of course is a real failure, and has found it really hard to shed the Australian way,which is not accepted in India,in fact,Greg Chappell does not even seem to be trying

Cricket coaching is more about managing and motivation,not teaching

As Kapil Dev recently said, the job of a cricket coach is to motivate the cricket team,do you really think Greg 'Guru' or anybody else can advise a Sachin Tendulkar or a Rahul Dravid on playing the cover drive. The successful multinational corporations of the world believe in the 'Glocal' school of management- act local but think Global. You need to adopt the best global management practices but customize it to local culture.Pity,Greg Chappell has not taken any management classes. The end result - A struggle for the Indian cricket team who pretend to listen to the self-styled Guru Chappell and then smirk behind Chappell's back
