words words words
by ashok kumar on Nov 21, 2007 12:01 PM

This is a reprise of the early days of Chappell's India stint; thousands of impressive words and theories. Total cricket, multi-dimensionality, flexibility, neural stimulation... But the end result? Internal rancour and bitterness, a dud of a World Cup campaign, a coach who dumped on his own team. But so what if the theories failed and the words were empty, it was everyone's fault but that of Chappell and his theories.

Coaching is not G. Chappell's core skill, never was, which is why no one in Australia will touch him.

They won't say so openly (despite the professed Aussie tell-it-like-it-is candour) because like Gavaskar and Kapil Dev in India, Greg Chappell is a sacred cow in Australia.

Speaking is GC's best asset, so he should please spare coaching kids particularly impressionable Indians.

There must be 100s of herd mentality corporates who would pay good money for GC's brand of BS.
