As a trainer Chappel has acted in a responsible way.He has devised some new techniques of coaching and playing.He took the team for commando training for few days and trained them through innovative ways but alas!all in vein.Because as a coach his job is not restricted just to train the players but he has to point out the shortcommings of players and all other activities affecting the performance of team directly or indirectly.He has to devise methods to correct prevailing indicipline in the team no matter how senior is the player.At the same time he has to point out the wrong doing of selection committee if any.He has to play the important role in strategy making during important games.If he is under pressure or he is not performing anyone of his duties which he is supposed to do then there is no use of him as a coach and getting hefty payments for his services.Look at the difference in the performance of the players before association of Chappel to the team and today.Indian team has never looked in past also to be having killing spirit which Australians and S.African players have.Ofcourse they have won few tournaments in 80's but after the commerciallisation of game they never looked like that barring few exceptions.
