Chappell is surely contradicting himself at every step, if not being a liar.
1. Take this. Chappell's mail starts with "1. At no stage did I ask Mr Ganguly to step down from the captaincy of the Indian team"... The same mail mentiones "Sourav asked me whether I thought he should be captain of the team. I said that I had serious doubts that he was in the right frame of mind to do it" Aren't these contradictory ? What else would tantamount to Chappell asking his captain to step down???
2. Chappell accuses Sourav of 'divide and rule'. In fact in the mail he says"The next day I enquired with a number of the players as to what they had thought of Sourav's retirement. The universal response was that it was 'just Sourav' as they recounted a list of times when Sourav had suffered from mystery injuries"
What impression do players get when the coach openly casts doubts on the ability and integrity of the captain and goes on to discuss these in his back...This is what is called 'divide and rule'...
I was a huge fan of Chappell as a player...But for now, this man deserves to be kicked out!
