I think Gavaskar is partially right as when Chappel joined as team India coach, Indian Team was almost No.1 team of the world in ODI as well as test cricket. He came and changed everything and instead of boosting their morale, he injected virus of fear in Team India resulted into fear of being a part of Indian team. We have best players in our team, then why Chappel was experimenting on players. They have proved their worth in Indian & World cricket, he should have made them mentally more strong rather putting pressure on them. It is important to understand that when head of the family (coach in team India case) is not strong & trust other family members, chances are that whole family (team India) lost confidence and break which has happened. We don't need a coach who teach them how to play, but a mentor who make them strong and inject in them KILLING SPIRIT and POWER TO WIN.

Lack of commitment, fighting spirit, negative body language, playing for self recores, to cement place for next matches, sponsers, poor fielding, trying to expose each on the field, promoting groupism etc.. Has coach told instructed for all these?? chappell's big mistake was he treated all players alike, equally and push the players from comfort zone. many superstars were taken their placed for granted.... winning and defeat depends on performance of XI players on the field irrepective of coach, captain, pitch and conditions.

It is very interesting to note that the divided Indian team phenomenon wasn't present in World Cup 2003. It surfaced in 2005, when Chappell took over as coach. Was that because of our Indian players or for once would you like to consider the crimes committed by the GREAT CHAPPELL
