Shastri was a good player, but not very good player. If he had demostrated good capabilities, we could say that he would do some thing. Looks like we are running out of people.Desperate to get some names to satidfy ourselves.We all know that our team dont bat consistently.We play good in one game and mess the remaining.And we say that we have strong batting line. This line failing consistently. This is the only track record we have. Lets see wat shastri is going to do, hop he doesnt become another scapegoat.

BY APPOINTING SHASHTRI Board has confirmed my doubt that there official also get advertising endorsement commission because it is shashtri's AD. co which gets ads to these Flop senior advertising star. Best solution even if sachin,sehag,ganguly are in team india is ranked in bottom why not give 5 matches to every Ranji playing cricketers .so that there would be some solution for unemployment also. So even Sachin and co.should get maximum 5 match in a year. Regds.Arif Mumbai- Regds. Arif- Mumbai

Do you know what cricket means. Don't bring communalism to cricket. Cricket itself is a religion. Now don't say that muslims want reservation in cricket too even though you don't know by which ball is cricket played with

All the speculation for a new coach is been over now and Ravi Shastri has agreed to coach and be a manager to Indian Team. But before all this,lets bring a point which was as told by Mr.Dungurpur whom I have always thought is not considered to be good for Indian Cricket told us that there is no Indian who can be a good coach for India. Also,nice to hear that contracts of all players with the board are over like Pakistan did.Now its time to see what is kept for Indian cricket for next upcoming cricket and what will be team for indian cricket be.Either oldies will be left out making for new lots . Lets see ..........

Dear Ravi , I wish U all the best & let we all forget about World Cup 2007 & start the new era with U by winning all the games in the forth coming series.

Yes we'll win all the series that's why Bangkadesh tour.So our standard team are Bangla,Bermuda.Hurray....Hee....heee Sachin is at Par with Bradman,Ganguly has 10 k runs. Soon we'll have a minnow country's world cup in which team like kenya,Bermuda,Zimbabwe would participate and we stand better chance of winning the minnow-world cup. Arif-Mumbai

Now Ravi Shastri is going to be appointed as team's manager.There is a heavy doubt about the capabilities of Shastri as a manager/coach as he has nothing new to offer.As a player he was never comfortable against fast bowling because of his limited strokes.His limited capability as a player casts a huge shadow on the prospects of his performance as a manager/coach.Though he was relatively successful in early 80's but as his style of playing became known to opponent teams his performance deteriorated.That was more apparent during late 80's and during world cup'92 which ultimately resulted into end of his carrear as a player.I think Gavaskar or Amarnath would have a better choice but as we see most of the times in history of Indian cricket,Gavaskar has expressed his non availability and Amarnath would not be choosen because of his straight forwarded nature and his realations with BCCI stalwarts.O.K. lets hope for the better for Indian cricket and expect Shastri to be as aggressive/active as a manager as he used to show during his playing days.

There we go. A nation of carpers cannot even wait for the man to take charge before starting the pull back. Fyi, Shastri has been acknowledged as an astute captain by almost all his contemporary's, and there certainly existed a position for him in the Indian team when he quit. It was the politics of that era that made him leave in disgust. Incidentally, while his cricketing style might be about overcoming relative lack of talent by sheer grit, his captaincy record is impeccable. Both qualities our team and its prima donnas need aplenty right now.

You spoke right. Why cant we even wait for the man to take charge before we accuse him of something?
There are a lot of famous names who are throwing their hat in the ring but it wont matter if players dont step up instead of doing the 'poor me ' routine.

Don't at all remeber, when Shatri was the captain. Once only he captained India in a test when kapil was not playing due to (forgot) some reasons.

any coach or manager who doesnot have guts to drop likes of Sachin,sehwag,Ganguly if flop,nothing can be done of India cricket. The only gutsy guy was Greg.Give him all the power and see how indian team goes up paper tigers crumble. Raza-Mumbai

If u can't drop, Rahul. Sachin shouldn't be dropped, he must retire and drop Saurav and Shewag.How Shastri has been appointed?Only Pawar will knows,Shastri during his tenure he was very slow batsmen in one day cricket and basically a test batsmen.Now one thing is sure that after appointing Shastri as a coach manager then current Indian one day team will becomes a test team.Dhoni,Yuvraj,Uttapa,Pathan type of batsmen will play like Ravi Shastri and slow player like Dravid will becomes more slow batsmen.I am dead sure that indian cricket team in one day will stand in bottom position. Only Sunil Gavaskar has the cricketing brain and experience to revive Indian Cricket team Who has given authority to BCCI for selecting Indian Cricket Team?I request to Hon'ble Prisident of India to terminate the BCCI officials and its functioning, Prisedent of India should take control on it, form another autonomous body.Select good players, provide them better facilities, equipment and modernise the Domestic cricket like the Australians.Polticians should be barred.

u mean gavaskar can improve indian cricket. dont u remember Gavaskar played worst than shastri. In 1975 WC he scored 35 runs in 60 overs. Shastri was better compared to sunny in his playing days.

Dear sir Gavaskar is very shrewd he doesnot want to coach indian team because he still wants AD.That's why he is sitting in commentary supporting players like sachin to play till worl-cup 2011.And by the way only test match he coached Indian team at Nagpur against Australia with John Wright India losttest and home series for thge first time in 20 years.

For your Kind Information Dav Whatmore will be the new coach of Indian Team Anil Kumble will lead the team for test matches Yuvraj will lead the team for one dayers
RE:Aala re shastri band bajaala re

Excellent thought Mr. Ravi ! Kumble should be made the `Test team' captain and Yuvraj for the `Oneday version' of the game! Hope the selectors will give it a serious thought!
