Why won't Buchanan be sacked?

When will Shahrukh Khan sack John Buchanan? This is the question that is in every Bengali’s lips. Will he have the sense to do it? Will he finally realize that 20/20 cricket doesn’t have place for an oldie (an oldie coach that is, IPL has already proved that it has place for players on the wrong side of 35).

Whether Shahrukh sack Buchanan or not, it is a fact that Buchanan has not learnt. He is as flexible as an iron pole. Hearing all the statements and ideas he has it is very difficult even for a Kolkata native to suppress his anger, I don’t know how Shahrukh is still controlling himself. He was in South Africa, did he find any cricket expert support Buchanan’s ideas, I dare ask. It is one thing being foolhardy, but entirely different to be foolish. Shahrukh doesn’t come across as such a foolish person.

And the question I want to ask, does Buchanan have any shame. Any self respecting person will try to remain silent in the situation he is in. But this shameless Aussie seems to be crossing all limits. He has publicly said that his team is following a Batting Strategy and that’s the reason why Mushraffe Mortaza, Ajantha Mendis is not getting a game. A batting strategy?? Please check your leading Batsmen’s average and strike rate, except Brad Hodge in the last 2 games. Your captain who is also the Opening Batsman’s score looked like a Telephone number 0,1,3,0. When he scored more than 10 in the last match, he probably thought he was playing a Test Match. May be this entire season Buchanan will experiment with his batting strategy and then next year (if he manages to hold on to his job) he will experiment with bowling strategy. Why can’t Shahrukh advice him to buy a team and do all the experiments he want like he so arrogantly advice Sunil Gavaskar?

In his utter desperation Buchanan now wants more than 4 foreign players in the playing XI. Has he forgotten this is the INDIAN Premier League? Why doesn’t he search for a job in the proposed American League? In the absence of local players, Buchanan can select as many foreign (read Australian) players as he wants. He can single handedly become Queensland’s Largest employer for jobless, talentless cricketers and ex-cricketers. Is it our fault that he cannot spot young Indian talent like S Jataki, T Suman, S Tyagi etc??

Buchanan, by suggesting every playing XI should have more foreign players is insulting Indian Talents and in turn India. I want to see the Indian Media to highlight this. Is it not the right of every Indians to uphold its pride? When will we stop stooping in front of white skinned people?
