The author has got the issue bang on target.Its an open secret that the 'patch up' was devised to hide Ganguly's faults. The top guys of BCCI don't have the nerve to take bold decisions like expelling a player of Ganguly's stature from the team.Neither they could prove Chappell wrong. Patch up was the only way out.
A fair trial would have definitely seen Ganguly out of the team.
