Hold on guys.....
by Chandramohan A on Apr 04, 2007 09:52 AM

I admit that Chappell is the Indian coach and equally shares the responsibility on the Indian team being thrashed out of this world cup. Well, let me tell you that Chappell is just a new coach of te team and if you all're aware of the rotten politics in the Indian cricketing scenario, what big miracle would you have expected with another coach? Absolutely nothing!!! Think well before you bark on him, guys... Think of the dons who rule the Indian cricket. Won't you guys blame then for any of these issues? If then, I must say, you guys're insane.
Well, I'm really bothered about trhe future of Indian cricket. Unlike any other sport, cricket stands next to the film industry, in the stardom. The money that is being fed in and flown out is so huge for all of us to bear such childish attitude of the senior players. There are many players in this team who have played for more than 1 world cups. Where are they and what the hell are they doing? Why don't they model themselves for the younger / fresh players in the team? Aren;t they ashamed of all that they've been doing so far in the recent matches?
They need to remember that playing a huge innings against the newbies isn't a great thing for them to show their expertise. The people of India aren't here to see all that but to see their players and team do well against good teams. The people wouldn't shout if our team loose after a fighting game. They very well know how to accpet a convincing victory or a reasonable failure. So, the senior players should have shown their experience by leading the team in drastic situations when the team needed them a lot. Unfortunately, nothing of these happened for India in this series.
Greg has been a wonderful coach of India. He has taught the players the importance of performance in the game. He also gave Ganguly a blow, which made Sourav to bring back his lost form. He played exceptionally good in the world cup. It is not just Chappell but anybody who is going to coach India, heragain, will have tough times ahead. I still believe that a non-Indian coach will always be the best option for our team. I support Greg for his wonderful back-up for our team. I also wish, the game is fully controlled by the BCCI and not by the underworld dons. Only then will the players play and the team grow. Let's hope, all these things come true, very soon......
