Cricket coach and National Spirit

News of BCCI deciding Gary Kiersten as Indian coach is taking rounds on media circles. This white skin fixation of Indian cricket is pathetic. After reading his musings in 1996 tour diary.. i really feel terrible... its quite sad that we have to bring people with such derogatory outlook about our country and the sport and get coached our national team.. Please don't feel once again taking up the oft beaten track of "the need for an Indian Coach". What's wrong in handing over the mantle to the kinds of Sandeep Patil, Robin Singh, Roger Binny, Anshuman Gakewad etc.. who have well proven their credentials in previous exposures... Morevoer they are good at fitness front and man management skills too... the only need is for providing them a freedom to run their regime. Hope wisdom prevails.. Cricket, may be another sport, but it's influence among Indian society is quite phenomenal.
