India Doom and Gloom Thread

Disappointed in Dravid's stint. There's been no explicit mission statement, just drift, perpetuating the previous management's tenets as dogma, and some outright bad tactical decisions. I get the feeling the team could've done as well without anyone at the helm.

Gavaskar's sounded off on Shaw for his lack of short ball technique but wasn't Shaw summarily dropped on account of his inability to keep Starc's inswinger out in the Adelaide dusk and not any perceived weakness against the short stuff? Has Sunny Pee been following him around the circuit under cover?

Nah, that's far too harsh on Dravid. He's had to deal with more inconsistency in lineups and general transition than Shastri, though Shastri as a manager/coach/official has a bigger portfolio than just being a coach from 2017-2021.
yeah Dravid hasnt brought in his own team yet but his failure to do so may also be a criticism of his stint depending on how much slack you give him for decisions above his head like selections and seniors

Whatever it takes!!!
Actually, except Rathore, the rest of the coaching staff were brought along by Dravid. And I think Rathore was also a Dravid pick originally as Shastri had Bangar as the batting coach in his set up.
