Roy Dias should be sacked because:

-He's been with the team for too long,i guess over SIX years.Unheard shiate.

-He's an old school cricketer.I remember ,maybe it was Aamir Akhtar on the nets...who was timing the ball sweetly and playing VERY powerful drives.He comes over to Akhtar and yells at him for not playing with a STRAIGHT bat.His vision of his team is that his batsmaen should bat like Dravid.Now Aamir was not a kid and remodelling his batting at that age was almost impossible.

-Like i said before,his philosophy is "Stay at the crease..runs come itself"

-In the subcontinent,more or less you don't question the authority of your coach.I bet Binod and others  can't look Dias straight in the eyes and tell him what they want and how they think it should be.One..we are too submissive people and the other reason is "Chaplusi" works in the subcontinent with a coach from the same region.

And most importantly...six freaking years with the same ppl.He must have run out of ideas.
