The SCG groundstaff need to ensure that run-up covers are employed as well as covering the square. Common sense .... but then common sense isn't always that common.

Again, you guys have to go a little bit more nuanced. "Some blame", "some praise" is the way to go in most cases. There are multiple factors which result in success/failure of players and it's different with each player.

If the IPL caused Mayank's technique issues, and it's likely it did, then *some* blame belongs with the team management for not working with him in the lead up to the tests to correct it *more*. Most of it belongs with the player.

For Mayank's good performances when he first arrived, *some* praise to go to the management. But, this some is less than the some from above. And it's reasonable to disagree.

For Jadeja, it's been clear that the management has done a good job with his selection and rotation policy and deserve a lot of credit given the other options of Pandya, Ashwin, Kuldeep available. But most of the praise does still belong to Jadeja himself, of course.

Which brings me back to my point that there is only so less a coach can do at the highest level , especially about batsmen.

Its more tactical nouveau and player management in general that is priority of a head "coach". Actually it should be Manager than Coach really. And Shastri has so far done a very good job as a man manager.

To say he is responsible for poor batting by Indians overseas is just being oblivious to the obvious. Aside from the golden generation of the 2000s, India never been good batters overseas.

Wash out, India wins the 4th which gets moved from the Gabba to win 2-1 so NZ stays no 1, then Australia loses a test to Rabada and Nortje, before Jamieson decimates India in the WTC final as Kane scores another daddy hundred. Sorted.
