A committee has been put in place to find a replacement for India coach Greg Chappell. This includes Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi and retired umpire Srinivas Venkataraghavan.
I know PCB is also looking at various possible options to replace the late Bob Woolmer. What process is the PCB likely to follow in search of new coach or will it be a decision made by the joker Dr Naseem Ashraf?

Re: India speed up hunt for new coach
From the title I thought it was a thread to discuss the search of an Indian coach, but oh no the second paragraph turned from search for Indian coach to your favorite time past bashing Pakistan cricket. Can you explain what finding Indian coach got to do with Pakistan appointing a new coach. The paranoia continues.
Re: India speed up hunt for new coach
^ You can change the title of the thread to something like 'India and Pakistan search for a new coach'.

^ sir ji, cut down on the street-talk and cussing.
The way I look at it, last time around India also went into the whole lets-select-the-coach process with a formal committee, presentations, candidate interviews.. basically the whole shebang. Pakistan, on the other hand, went through the usual underground channels, no public interviews, just a secret handshake and the big honcho making a public statement.
Pakistan got Woolmer. India got Chappal. End result: both teams got their butts kicked in the first round and got knocked out of World Cup unceremoniously. Now, I am not saying we should not adopt a more proper and formal process to appoint a coach. I think the way Indians do it, as well as how some of the more established cricket boards do it is definitely a more transparent and better method, but we just need a little perspective before rushing out to judgement, one way or the other. End result is success. Means can be debated.
