Not so fast dear...It is not Indian Cricket if everything goes smoothly.
Coach timing all wrong, say seniors
"There was absolutely no need for a coach at this moment. We're happy with the current support staff (Lalchand Rajput, Venkatesh Prasad and Robin Singh). We have a high comfort level with them and in any case this being our last tour of Australia, we don't need someone to motivate us or tell us what we're supposed to do,.....We have an issue with the timing of his appointment. Gary undoubtedly was a good player but when a new coach takes over it takes time for a team to warm up to him. He'll come with his set of ideas which may, or may not be in sync with us. And Australia isn't the right place for all that to happen. Ideally, they should have appointed him after the tour of Australia when the South Africans are here for a full Test tour....."

Mumbai Mirror Story :-
Coach timing all wrong, say seniors
Team India likely to take up Gary Kirsten’s sudden appointment with the Board this week
The Indian cricket board's decision to appoint former South Africa opener Gary Kirsten as the new team coach hasn't gone down well with the senior players, Mumbai Mirror has learnt. It is likely, sources say, that the team will make a case against getting a coach at this juncture to the BCCI during the Kolkata test that starts on Friday.
"There was absolutely no need for a coach at this moment. We're happy with the current support staff (Lalchand Rajput, Venkatesh Prasad and Robin Singh). We have a high comfort level with them and in any case this being our last tour of Australia, we don't need someone to motivate us or tell us what we're supposed to do," said a senior player, not willing to be named for obvious reasons.
The senior players' tirade comes not because they have a problem with Kirsten per se but because they feel that since the team is gelling well as a unit, bringing someone at the helm of affairs days ahead of the crucial tour of Australia will prove counter-productive.
"We have an issue with the timing of his appointment. Gary undoubtedly was a good player but when a new coach takes over it takes time for a team to warm up to him. He'll come with his set of ideas which may, or may not be in sync with us. And Australia isn't the right place for all that to happen. Ideally, they should have appointed him after the tour of Australia when the South Africans are here for a full Test tour," added another senior.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India confirmed yesterday that the 40-year-old from Cape Town is in line to take over the post lying vacant since Greg Chappell's unceremonious departure after the World Cup fiasco.
The Board had appointed a seven-member selection committee, headed by its president Sharad Pawar and including three former captains Sunil Gavaskar, S Venkataraghavan and Ravi Shastri to hand-pick Chappell's successor. However, their earlier efforts to get Graham Ford on board proved futile as the South African developed cold feet after agreeing in principle.
Since then the BCCI has followed a policy of appointing Cricket Managers apart from the two specialist coaches Prasad (bowling) and Robin (fielding) even as it cast its net wider (at least on paper) to get a full-time coach for the team.
Once bitten by the Ford drama that left them with eggs on their faces the BCCI went about things covertly to avoid the media's attention and all queries regarding the coach were dismissed with disdain.
"Even Niranjan Shah, who is one of the seven members of the high-profile committee was kept in the dark about the meeting and so were the senior players. Prof Ratnakar Shetty called Anil Kumble and he was asked to proceed to BCCI president Sharad Pawar's home at 6, Janpath and then introduced to Kirsten," a source close to the team revealed.
"The players have discussed the issue with each other over the phone as all of them haven't reached Kolkata but once they meet they are likely to make their case with the BCCI," he added.
