Well this article is flawed
by Rakesh Narayan on Apr 04, 2007 12:06 PM

Why was Sachins position changed? Why was he batting at 4 , when his best has been at no 1? Are you saying Pnting can bat at 5 or Hayden can suddenly do well at no 4. Cricket is a game played by a team of individuals. If you stop allowing the individual the room to do his stuff, then you are no longer the correct coach. I thought some initiatives by greg were good, but this kind of experimentation was uncalled for. Its very well known dravid is at his best at 3, and Ganguly as opener. If you dont want to play sachin as opener you shouldnt have taken him in the team. What hurts most is against SL both Ganguly and Tendulkar bowled their hearts out. why would they try to bowl well when they have no interest in the game or dont love the game. I just dont get why Greg is so angry with the Indian cricket players. Is it for not trying, or is it for not performing well enough so he could have a good record sheet. Btw I hope people remember Mr Ponting was caught eve teasing at a Kolkatta bar and is no model citizen. And yeahh Ian I lost all respect for ya when you pointed out Lara's greatness despite his super selfish 401 against England where he could have rather declared and won the game for Windies. Smooth talking does not mean you always make sense. Tony Grieg remains the only foreign columnist who is unbiased against the subcontinent.
