Kolkata to have multiple captains

Cricinfo - Kolkata to have multiple captains

Buchanan will be run out of town if Ganguly starts making a scene. He needs to try this when someone a little less absorbed is in charge.

Very interesting that the reason given is 'focusing on batting', the same reason Greg Chappell gave, and we all know how that fiasco turned out.

I have to say i do not understand the logic behind this..not against Ganguly not getting the captaincy though.

 

[Evermind]

For some strange reason I read this as "multiple orgasms".

I honestly don't think this would have eventuated had Ganguly had serious objections to it.

Ganguly claimed he'd found out about it happening in the press.

This can't end well.

Can't see it working, regardless of what Ganguly says. Warne showed last year the importance of captaincy, particularly with so many games in such a short space of time.

Buchanan is indeed amazingly overrated...

Ganguly definitely doesn't like it. He was interviewed separately later, and he remarked that an extension of Buchanan's idea could be to employ multiple coaches instead of just one.

I'm not so sure about this, TBH. Having different captains with different styles may affect how the charges react to them, leading to highly variable levels of success and a lot of inconsistency. If one captain doesn't get along with Buchanan, the consequences may be reminiscent of the Moores-Pietersen saga.

Then again, it's only 20/20 cricket.

I love Ganguly.

Not wrong really, considering the tenure coaches enjoy these days in the subcontinent...

[Pratters]

Crap idea.

Buchanan is the same coach who once thought of making all the players in the Australian team he coached, bat and bowl, with both hands, and even bowl pace with one arm and spin with another! Wonder what happened to that; wish him luck with this.

I love Ganguly.

Lol, yeah thats gold.

Can imagine Ganguly and Buchanan butting heads more than Warne and Buchanan did.

 

[honestbharani]

I would love to hear what Warney wants to say about this...

 

[vic_orthdox]

All the benefits of multiple captains fly out the window when the tournament is over such a short time.

Can understand it if you are wanting to alleviate the stresses involved over a long season, but not for IPL.

Nah, too much money at stake here, Gangs knows that he has a contract that runs for another 2 years, he will take the money and if the team didn't do well Coach is going to be responsible for the team's performance.

I personally see it as win win situation for Ganguly. This is not the Aussie coaching job, this is KOLKATA KnightRiders, Rest assured, Fans will speak after KKR performance.
