Chappel blames others, after everything is over what was he doing till the world cup match.!!!!
Sachin and Senior plamers blame the coach, what were they doing when the so called "harrasement" was happening to every one in the team. why where they suffering meekly??
They cant justify that they had poorly batted and fielded. Coach cant came and teach how to play even basic defence strokes and catch a ball. now the coach is getting blamed!!!!!
why cant the charm and the actions they perform in the Ads should not be carried to the field. is it just the cricket has been turned just like a movie, where the hero smashes 40 people in his bare hands.
In all this infight, no one is bothered how to improve and correct the mistakes... every one wants to play safe and make personal records at the expense of the public money.
its india which is being letdown and the indian fans who have been cheated for encouraging cricket...
I Just want to say thank you very much Sachin...this is the best thing you ever did to save India....First it was Ganguly who went against Chappel and NOW its Sachin......we love u for telling the truth.....
Most Indians will feel ashamed because they betrayed Ganguly and went with Chappel & Dravid... Ganguly was right about Chappel....but it took us 2 years ....a world cup exit and many defeats to understand that.........CHAPPEL AND DRAVID ARE PATHETIC...
In a statement that is likely to have a large bearing on the immediate future of Indian cricket, Sachin Tendulkar has revealed that India's cricketers would be most disappointed with Greg Chappell, the coach, if he questioned their attitude.
In a rare public outburst, Tendulkar, not known to air his views on controversial issues, expressed his anguish. " Paani sar se ooncha ho gaya hai (Things have gone a bit too far to keep quiet). I've given my heart and my soul for 17 years. No coach had mentioned even in passing that my attitude was not correct," Tendulkar told Times of India. "Cricket has been my life for all these years and will always be."
His statements come in the wake of reports that many members in the team have rallied together against Chappell and Dravid and want Tendulkar to take up their case to the board. Cricinfo had reported on the crisis in the team , one largely owing to the rift between Chappell and the senior players, and Tendulkar's statements reinforce the players' stance.
"Tell me, the world has gone on talking about all this [our defeat and exit] but has anybody spared a thought for us?," asked an emotional Tendulkar. "Did they try to find out what we have been going through? I am shattered beyond words and I feel helpless. I've never felt so bad in my entire career ... The World Cup was our passion, our collective goal, our dream and that has been shattered
"I am shattered beyond words and I feel helpless. I've never felt so bad in my entire career." he said. "No matter how many Tests or one-day series you win, nothing else even comes close to a World Cup triumph. The World Cup was our passion, our collective goal, our dream and that has been shattered. And we all are terribly disappointed over it."
Tendulkar took responsibility for the World Cup debacle but responded to what he perceived as a slight to his commitment. "Again, it's not that we are defending ourselves. We do realise that we played badly and, as a team, we take full responsibility for that. But what hurt us most is if the coach has questioned our attitude."
The Indian board's working committee meets on April 7, following the meeting of the review committee the day before. It is expected that Chappell's report, due to be submitted to the board before April 6, will be scathing in its criticism of the attitude of the senior players including Sourav Ganguly, Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh. The working committee meeting will be attended by BCCI's office-bearers and seven former captains, including Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Ravi Shastri and S Venkatraghavan.

It was all about attitude, feels BCCI NEW DELHI, "There are five players in the team whose attitude needs to be sorted out," the official stressed. When asked to name the players, he suggested names like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh and Ajit Agarkar.
that contributed to our losses against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka." http://worldcup.indiatimes.com/It_was_all_about_attitude_feels_BCCI/articleshow/1839620.cms
Winnin g or defeat in matches depends on performance of XI players irrespective of captain, coach, pitch, stretagy and conditions. Bangladesh and SL victory against India is best example

Yeah, India will love Sachin for getiing a duck at the SL math and devote his entire career to play for himself not for the country. Just like great Sunil Gavaskar, Well done Sachin score few more hundreds when we don%u2019t need them.

u stupid fellow...dont hav ne right to comment on cricket...just get lost
Hi, If the senior players suggestions would have been followed I dont think we would have lost so miserably, as their suggestions came from what our strengths are at the given time. I know this article shows all our weaknesses however, this is where the problem is. Dravid and Cappel's strategies work for Australia where you have players with those specific strengths. We needed to have a strategy that suits our strengths and not a dream. This is where Chappel's biggest contribution to our loss is and Dravid is the culprit as he let this happen to keep his captaincy. So please stop being a bania india who drools over white skin and start thinking like an Indian next time.
y do u guys blame coach for the desaster,he is there only to improve the skills of the players, but have u heard"Buddha tota kabhi pose nahi manta" means old parrot can never learn.the same thing these old player thinks they are better than the coach,if chappels says that there is an attitude problem with senior players,he is very right, u can see how sachin is crying about his remarks ,sachin is again trying to cash his past records,but who cares ,the fact is these senior players have proved to be disaster,instead of talent the board is full of regionalism,suddenly all former mumbaiya pandit players started supporting sachin,like gavaskar,vengsarkar,....ar,.....kar and son on. all management ppl from bengal line behind ganguly,all southie lined behind the captain, common man wot is this ,we have to look beyound this. y not professionalism prevail.Bechara coach free me scape goat baney ga,coach kya ABCD... sekhayega,thik hai he is a coach he can tell a finer points.hw cannot go him self to play. he is just a coach,woh sub kuch ghol kar pani key sath to nahi pila sakta,
I agree with the article. The Coach is there to guide you and not to bat or bowl in your place. Players, especially our senoirs forget this. Please accept the mistakes to correct rather to blame others and cover up. Coach is not the one who shows his all smiling face in commercials to earn crores. We have forgotten the contract row which bothered last world cup between BCCI and our seniors. Please seniors it is time for you to change your attitude and learn from your own mistakes - not from other's.
Players, Coach and the Board are all shameless enough, looking to blame someone else when they should have accepted responsibility and resigned in a graceful manner. Fire everyone and start over fresh should be the best approach.
it is not only cahppell or captain all senior players were also responsible for the WC debacle.it is performance of 11 player that won match for lanka and bangladehs.Instead of sorting out problem, this blame game and media speculation are goiing on.... nunfortuante for ind cricekt Chappell will be qicked out what about team??? chappell tried to push the players from comfort zone and some players were taken their places for granted. Nobody is bigger than game and bcci has no guts to question some palyers??

Who says 2 years is a small time. Just have some comparison.
In 2005 at the same time Moody, Chapple and Whatmore appointed the coaches of SL, IN and BD respectively.
India that time was ahead of SL in ranking and BD was at the bottom.
Now after 2 years the scene is -
SL - Sure for Semifinals, Second favourite after Aus. BD - Reached to Super-8 first time. IN - In early march-07, was a strong contender for Cup, Sure for Semifinals, but out from first round itself.
Now the question is,
1. How a established team has come down so drastically with a GREAT Coach Like GREG CHAPPLE. 2. How one minnows has come up to qualify for Super-8 3. and Third within the same 2 years period, how SL is going to be the favourities of 2007 WC.
Thus, if Tom Moody and Dev Whatmore can turnup a team to come up with such a great performance, Why Chapple, in the same period, can not uplift the team, In fact, he ensured that the team should come down to the root level. The team given to chapple was having unity, no internal difference, no backlashing, no fear of failure and now, we have groups, fear for failure, personality clashes all gifted by Chapple.

there is a proverb in a local language- only we can be pull buffrello to the pond means make infrastrcutre, ask them to practice and perform is the only think coach can do. the performance must be done by players . in srilanka or b'desh also if the players didnt play result will be the same. the team india lack the spirit and enthusisasum. that cant be injected even if god come as coach

Then what for chapple was required. Let's put excellent infrastructure as BD and SL have (??) and make the groundsman the coach.
How can chappel responsible for India's defeat ? He got a team of TV actors to coach for the world cup. How can TV actors match the cricketing talant of Australia ,Sri Lanka or Bangaladash. In order to win 2015 world cup india should give him a team of young guys who dont have dig heads, to train.

and again he will experiment with young guys... no 1 knows wot is his batting order... Man..when a player reaches international level, he doesn't need basic training.. All he needs are motivation and match winning tactics....Just check how innovative was John Wright. He brought a pscycological coach !! to boost the mental strength... He made Dravid as wicket Keeper and accomadated extra batsmen/bowler to keep the balance.. its innovation.. and MAIN thing Wright never spoke rubbish/Non-sense with media... Tell me 1 good this Chappel had done.. He was experimenting even in World-Cup match.. He brought differences among team-members and spoiled a healthy environment...Chappel might be good player but NOT GOOD COACH atleast for INDIAN TEAM

motivation ?are there any team in this world who received the motivation than Indian team ? Yes Chappel didn't do anything because big headed senior players didn't let him to do. Weather you are a international player or not you should listen to the coach. What is the use of so called past great Indian players to the current team ? India should take a Bangaladesh player as a coach.

team india was broken ship when dravid made captain and ranked No8 in ICC ranking ( even now it is ranked No6)This WC team India %u2018s early exit, b%u2019cuz some players delieberatley palyed negative cricket and betryed team and dtiched dravid.ateam. If players are not ready to support team cause what capatain.some players fielding and body language was visible that as if they were playing an practice match and gifted match to Bangladesh an early exit from WC means dravid is not good captian and ganguly%u2019s records not harmed When players only go against captain and coach and betray teammates why blame captain or coach??If player can not perform for team what is his role ? He should be kicked out team IF players can get negative inspiration why could not players did not perform for team??how can cricket expert say that captain is not motivating player?/ WC is the biggest event of cricket and those players who get chance to play this on behalf of team India?chappel tried to push the palyers comofrt zone and bring professionalism. Many players do not like this Dravdi was the guy showing the fight against SL...but who supported him? Dravid accepted the responsiblity for defeat in front of media he will resign Sewag selection was questioned by Chief slesctor HE IS HIGHESTRUN GETTER Dhoni, harbajan, sachin, completly failed the worst thing there is groupism and politcs in team and it was visible dufing match against SL and Bangaldesh ganguly is selfish politician He and his group deliberately played negative cricket , played big role in defeat and took revenge for his outset. he is cunning politicain not a team man main culprit to sabotage team WC capaign. He betrayed dravid. when he was captain it was dravid performance, hardwork brought him succes as captain. In WX2003 india reached final b`uz of sachins brillinet performance. not b`zu of ganguly`s captiancy or agression. it is ganguly, zahirkahn, dhoni, harbajan should be kicked out..
