This is really weird. We get two newspapers at home: one Hindi (Dainik Jagran) and one English (The Pioneer) and both said Graham Ford is the new coach of the Indian cricket team (I couldn’t find the Pioneer link). And today I read Graham Ford declines offer to coach Team India. So did they published the news without confirming with the team and the “coach” or the Indian Cricket management is so desperate to get a foreign coach that they are declaring him coach without his consent? Do they plan to kidnap him, considering the shady elements managing the team presently? It must be quite embarrassing for the BCCI. But then, I personally think, after the way Bob Woolmer died under mysterious circumstances, and the way criminals and betters have started influencing cricket on the Indian sub-continent, any right thinking personal will thinking twice before taking up the assignment. Incidentally, the Jamaican police made a mess of the entire investigation concerning Woolmer’s death.
