I was extremely happy to see him as Head coach.Indeed it was one of the finest decisions to appoint him . His appointment was possibly above all controversies. Firstly his cricket carrier was magnificent. He was an out and out gentleman in the field and outside the field .He is highly educated along with good personality.Initially he was appointed for one year and subsequently the same was extended to the end of the west Indies tour of Indian team.
Yesterday the team started for the west Indies and accordingly Kumble was to accompany but he didn't.It was informed in the evening that he had submitted his resignation.To me yesterday was a black day in the history of our national cricket. It has been noticed from the print media for the last few days that the relation between the captain and Coach has been strained.
Or in other words the Coach must be a yes man of the captain. He will not enjoy any liberty and he Will have no right to give any advice to senior players .This practice has been continuing for a long time.
Earlier a good number of coaches continued for a long time very peacefully without entering into cricket.The only exception was possibly Greag chappel. He was not agreeable to act in the said manner and he had to leave.The present practice is a Coach must be a slave of the captain and other senior cricketers.
It would be the best decision to stop the appointment of coach permanently as the drama may not be enjoyed by all.
