Even more than a coach I would also like to be a selector of the Indian team. I want to correct some of the “wrongs/biases”, and thus cleanse the selection process.

Coaching is much simpler than team selection. Now, coaching has become a “data mining” problem – thanks to Bob Woolmer – i.e.

if you bowl at a pace of 135 kmph, short of a good length outside the offistump, cutting the ball in – to Sachin,

What is the probability

He will defend ?
He will be hit thru the covers ?
He will play across the line thru the midwicket ?
He will get out as LBW ?

We can get all these data for every player as a coach. then it is just a numbers game.

What is wrong with an Indian coach ?

I as employee can only list what are the desirable qualities of a manager – technically knowledgeable, good communication/negotiation, friendly, … But I can not say what should be the race or gender.That would be considered as work-place discrimination.

I think Sandeep Patil (not from TN) who has a proven track record or even Mohinder Amarnath would be good.

One of the many knocks on Greg Chappell was that he did not understand the “indian nuances” and was blunt. Whatmore’s resume is that he knows all those nuances having been in the subcontinent for 10+ years.

Why not consider Intikab Alam former Pak Captain as India’s coach. He is also a foreign coach :-)

Are they going to discuss coaches? Isn’t the tour not too far away. Shouldn’t the coach get some time to spend with the time?

Chappell resigned in the first week of April. Why couldn’t they find a coach within a month? Why do they unnecessarily drag the matters?
