Chappell isn't good person. There are quiet a few people like the writer of this article who supports him...What I feel about after reading the article is that the writer is trying to misguide the readers....There are many things to which Chappell has to take blame for...I have following questions to the writer or Chappell supporters...
1. Chappell was appointed by BCCI for the MISSION World Cup 07 but India failed to reach even Super 8 stage then how Mr. Chappell is not responsible for that? He may not be responsible for the team's performance 100%, but to certain extent he is responsible for this failure.
2. Chappell, on the name of FLEXIBILITY made mess with the batting order. Sachin need to open the batting which he was doing for so many years is dropped down at no.4 in the middle order. Dravid need to bat at no.3, he pushed further down the order.. why?? who had taken these decisions???Was Mr. Chappell not involved in these decisions????
3.Pathan was a swing bowler who can bat a bit in 2005 but after Mr. Chappell's came in, Pathan started to bat at no.3 and has lost his bowling action completely and looks out of sorts and now he became half batsman who can bowl a bit...What a mess...I would say, he literally spoiled the carrier of Pathan...
4.Chappell has always spat the team members. Earlier he had spat with Ganguly and now there are rumours that he has spat with senior players... who are those senoir players??? So he was not good in the books of Indian players...He always want to be in the controversies surrounding him rather than working as a coach... He never seems to have developed any rappo with any of the players...
5. After India's debacle performance at the world cup he don't want to take the blame and trying give some excuses and making the stories of senoir player attitude and behaviour but my question to Mr. Chappell is that if he knew all these things then why has not told to BCCI before the team leave for the world cup??If he was not happy with the squad that he got for the world cup, why he had not told to BCCI before going to W.Indies? Why he is telling all these stories now??? That means he is searching for excuses...
6. The most important, he knows that Indians belive more on the person who is outsider than any Indian person.. So he is using the same principle that was used by BRITISH people about a century ago.."DIVIDE & RULE"... that is what he is trying to do..
But that doesn't mean that the players, the BCCI, selection comitte are not responsible for India's debacle at the world cup.. but to a certain extent they are also responsible...
India certainly needs a new coach certainly not Mr. Chappell....
