almost two years back, you wrote a series of very distasteful and capricious articles denigrating the deposed India skipper Ganguly. I realize that you were taking an early gamble on Greg Chappel, hoping to look really good if he succeeded. However, after watching Chappel's antics for 2 years and seeing him rave and rant at the media, I thought you would come around.
But, no. You continue on your disgraceful path of "native-bashing" to gain the white man's favor. Wake up, Lava. The "British Raj" is over. No "bones" will be thrown to you, for saying "me love you long time..." to the white man.
This is the age of Indian champions... be justly proud of our great achievers.
Chappel accuses our "old" players... check the age of Australia's McGrath, who is their best bowler in this cup. Check out Jayasurya, Jacques Kallis, etc. They would also not perform if they had a terrible coach such as G Chappel.
Games are won /lost every minute of any day. Thats not a big deal. The big deal is that the Indian team looked very "badly coached" and totally lacked "leaderdship" on the field. [check out NBA, NFL, winning NCAA teams to understand what tnbat means.]
You claimed to be an advocate of "performance" and "results" when you stuck your dagger into Ganguly. Why dont you apply the same yardstick to Chappel now? He would even be kicked out of WalMart for his performance.
finally, since you are obsessed about Ganguly, here's my take on the man. Well, he at least is a "man". You know, with cojones. He gave us pride, he united a hitherto fracticidal team.
I dont want to commenton who should stay and who should not, in the Indian team. There are much better people than you or me to decide that. But I am sure about one thing. Greg Chappel is not here based on Indian patriotic reasons. He is our hired help only, with a job to do. He failed at his job, so we need to hire someone else. Pity is he quit. He should have been fired.
Be proud of your countrymen... just as people from all other counties.
