Whatmore as coach
by dhanraj dhanu on Mar 31, 2007 12:50 PM

Too early to predict his ability. Bangaldesh defeated only India (of course Bermuda) and reached second round. Coach is not neaed to defeat INDIA. India can loose any match at any day. There are talks of hiring Tom Moody or Whatmore as Indian Coach. If Moody or Whatmore had been the coach of INDIA and Chappel is coach of Lanka or Bangladesh the result would be the same. India won the cup in 1983 without any coach. All such analysis are useless when it comes to Indian Team. Indian team never performed well in any of the Major tournaments. Only excemption is 1985 Benson and Hedges Trophy. That team is real a great One-day team of INDIA and is not lost any single match in that tournament. So coach is irrelevant. Now BCCI has so much money so it is spending on coaches and other thisngs not on cricket at grassroot level.
