Who is currently the best coach in world cricket?

[MenInG]

Ravi Shastri is basking in the glow of limelight due to his side's amazing win but are there others who are better coaches than him?

Take your pick in the poll and explain why - and also let us know if more names need to be added to it.

 

[Local.Dada]

Ravi Shastri is still a cheerleader but a good one at that after this performance.

Credit to players and actual coaches and support staff

 

[JaDed]

Bharat Arun is pretty awesome for us

 

[aloo paratha]

Where's Misbah?

 

[The Viper]

Andy Flower/Gary Kirsten/Mike Hesson.

One of these three, I voted for Flower.

Shastri has done great things with the Indian team, however I doubt he replicates his success with an inferior team.

John Buchanan winning percentage in Tests and ODIs combined is a staggering 79.83, which is even more than that of Vince Lombardi (73.80) — considered one of the greatest sports coaches in history — and miles above Sir Alex Ferguson (58.02), a modern-day great.

Pakistan can take anyone of the following

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Rahul Dravid, not Ravi Shastri, should be getting the credit right now.

Rahul Dravid is the best coach in world cricket in any country at any level.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Ravi Shastri. Arguably the greatest of all time.

 

[Kaddy]

The greatest of all time

 

[Pacy with wisdom]

Ravi Shastri. Arguably the greatest of all time.

Why do you believe so?

 

[daytrader]

Oh come on no Misbah? Biased poll

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Why do you believe so?

Who else can motivate their team to win a series in Australia with half the team consisting of second and third option players. If he was Pakistani, they would've built a shrine for him before he landed back home.

Understandable...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Chris silverwood maybe. Why is there no option for him?

 

[Titan24]

He has done pretty well but, sample size at international level is very small.

 

[King_Kohli]

Ravi uncle.

Rahul Dravid is the best coach in world cricket in any country at any level.

He coaches an Indian U19 team doesn't he?

 

[Slim]

Ravi Shastri without a single ounce of doubt. ATG Coach.

 

[Slim]

I find Trevor Bayliss's omission strange nevertheless.

 

[Shafi]

Misbah fans:::: Misbah is the best cricket coach this World has ever produced. We just won the series by 2-0 against no.1 test team.

 

[GudduBadmash]

Misbah should be given some credit for backing a gem like Mohammad Rizwan especially and making the brave call if dropping the media Darling Sarfaraz. Takes real guts to do that knowing how the Karachi Mafia hates him anyway.

Credit is also deserved for dropping an underperforming Shafiq and allowing Fawad Alam a chance to play.

There are some positives

 

[Thunderbolt14]

He coaches an Indian U19 team doesn't he?

The Indian U19 team, yeah, and the Indian A team too. He’s responsible for Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Mohammad Siraj, Prithvi Shaw, and Washington Sundar.

 

[moghul]

Where's Misbah?

Find him in the thread for the worst coaches in history.

Paras Mahambrey is Indian U19 team coach
