I am a unbiased fan of cricketer who support Ian and Greg Chappel for their comments. I have seen quite a few of your rmessages where u have blamed Greg for India's debacle. Also Ian too was a target for saying that Sachin is over the hill.
First let's discuss Sachin issue. Don't u fellow indians think that Sachin is past his prime? He never fires in important matches and most of the runs he has amassed has come against weaker oppositions and that too on the dusty tracks of the subcontinent which is next to nothing. That's the reason I suppose he always gets clean bowled whenever he faces good bowlers on good quality pitches and u call this talent... rubbish... If India with a population of 1 billion cannot produce 11 good players then I would better say stop playing cricket thereby preventing further ignominy to this beautiful game. The other players Ganguly, Sehwag, Dravid, etc etc are an awful lot and I don't feel it's even worth commenting on them. They r the dirt in cricketing world. But alas how will we Indians accept this fact. We have a tendency to make a demi god out of everyone as our nation of 1 billion hardly produces any good sportsmen and so we have a situation where we got to make do with whatever we have. See our results in any other games viz football, Olympics etc it's nauseating. I know I would receive lots of negative feedback for this but then I don't mind bcoz ur a coterie of people who just can't digest the truth and keep building castles in the air.
Now coming to Greg, I don't understand what's the heck going on? I would like to tell u one thing "You can take a horse to a pond but u cannot make it to drink the water." The coach can only go so far; it's upto the players to take up the responsibility and prove their mettle out on the field. Aussies never make such comments about coaches or facilities etc etc as they r a confident lot who know they can beat anyone and everyone on any given day. This sort of cribbing is done by only meek individuals who just cannot make it happen in any field, leave alone cricket. If Greg wants to experiment u call it as disturbing the balance of the team. What bloody shit balance this team has? I wish to know that first of all. In Australia a player is immediately removed if he does not perform over a period of time. In India even if a person is not performing for months still no one can question him if he has past records to support. What a bloody system is this. It sucks. Remember one thing. India has never been a potent force in international cricket and it will never be unless and until politics is separated from game. But again I repeat whatever is said will fall on deaf ears. Nothing's gonna change on the ground and all this is hot air.
