Who is the mentor of the Indian cricket team?

Thats my question? What is the actual team selection policy of the BCCI? Do the ******* there think this is a child's play? The public are being fooled by making the "so-called" players in the world cup matches. How many of them do you all think are eligible to play a single match?

Well Greg, had you goen there for a picnic or what? The pre and post world cup news make us feel so!!! Really, why did you take the two players like Sreeshanth and Irfan Pathan? They could've easily been played in the matches against Bermuda and Bangladesh. Do you think, no??? If your focus were on the senior players, what the **** did they do on the grounds? Is the seniority the only criteria for team selection? Then, you should have taken Gavaskar, Kapil, Vengsarkar and other heroes who had won us the world cup, once upon a time. And do not say now that you were no happy with the team that you were given. You're the coach and you have to show the power of your position in any part of the game. We can not favour your opinion, at this condition. Be bold enough to say no to anythign that you cannot accept as far as the Indian team is concerned... Well, you will have to prove your point, anyways...

All the best is all what I can say...

Do u follow news, greg has asked for youngsters and hez whining that he has been given lame duck seniors who unanimously opposed to include players like raina. get the facts before u comment. By the way coach doesn't select a team..coach can suggest but it is up to the selection committee to form a team

btw..coach cannot decide who are the final 11 to play. coach will suggest and it is the captain who decides the 11 before going to toss. Coach has nothing to do with selection. His job is to coach and submit an analysis on the performance of each player. I don't think bcci will go by the analysis of a coach. Players are selected on zonal basis. Say if both yuvraj and harbhajan performed badly. still they cannot drop both. coz atleast one player has to be in the team from that zone.
