4th June for India coach announcement

Chennai online reports that that the announcement of the Indian cricket coach will be made tomorrow and that the front runner is Dav Whatmore. Remember, you heard it here first!

Dav Whatmore to coach India

Dav Whatmore's latest interview makes it sound like a near certainty that he'll be coaching India soon. Speaking having completed his Bangladesh contract, he was asked if he would prefer a break or to start the India job straight away if the BCCI were to offer him the job. "In an ideal world I would have preferred a break. But international cricket does not give time."

We'll see, but my guess would be that big Dav is set to take on the toughest job in cricket...good luck to him. And if the BCCI have any sense they will give him the break he needs before he takes the healm.

India v Bangladesh

What is going on over there in the India v Bangladesh game? Bangladesh aren't the greatest team in the world but they seem to be rolling over against India. Good to see Tendulkar get another ton - still think he should "have a long hard look in the mirror" Ian Chappell? Yes, he needs to make runs against the top teams too, but it's good to see him playing well as I think he's got years left at the top...

Pity for Dav Whatmore that his last game looks like a thrashing at this stage. He's done a great job for Bangladesh as coach and it will be interesting to see where he ends up coaching next, if he does...
