Mukul Kesavan couldn’t have done a better job of summing it up for all the perplexed individuals like me.
It's your way of saying to the team: "You're so slavishly fixated on the idea of a foreign coach that you'd pick a lamp post over over an Indian. So here's your lamp post."
Dileep Premchandran calls this a no-contest.
On the surface, it's as unequal a contest as Mike Tyson against Carl "The Truth" Williams. One man with 16 Test wins and eight losses (five of them to that team under the Southern Cross) pitted against another who failed to hack it as county coach. Saturday's meeting should be a formality then? Not quite. This is India, and the team could still end up saddled with a coach who's the cricketing equivalent or worse of Steve McClaren.
