Ever wondered what Virender Sehwag's idea of perfect coach and skipper would be? Well, the Indian opener has talked about this at length in an interview with PTI. He feels that Gary Kirsten is a great coach, in fact the "best I have ever seen," because he evidently does not force things on people. And Sourav Ganguly was a great skipper because he assured him (Viru ji) that even if he failed in a match, he would not be touched for the next 30-35 games.
Makes you wonder what we need coaches and captains for, doesn't it? I mean, if a good coach is one who does not force changes and a good skipper is one who keeps lugging the same side around for dozens of matches, because he "backs" them (one would have thought his target would be getting the best for his country, rather than backing players), then we might as well as get rid of both posts. Save us some money.
Oh, and I do hope Sehwag never captains the country. He will end up backing players for aeons and will sack the first coach who asks him to change his footwork. Or get one!
