Who says 2 years is a small time. Just have some comparison.
In 2005 at the same time Moody, Chapple and Whatmore appointed the coaches of SL, IN and BD respectively.
India that time was ahead of SL in ranking and BD was at the bottom.
Now after 2 years the scene is -
SL - Sure for Semifinals, Second favourite after Aus. BD - Reached to Super-8 first time. IN - In early march-07, was a strong contender for Cup, Sure for Semifinals, but out from first round itself.
Now the question is,
1. How a established team has come down so drastically with a GREAT Coach Like GREG CHAPPLE. 2. How one minnows has come up to qualify for Super-8 3. and Third within the same 2 years period, how SL is going to be the favourities of 2007 WC.
Thus, if Tom Moody and Dev Whatmore can turnup a team to come up with such a great performance, Why Chapple, in the same period, can not uplift the team, In fact, he ensured that the team should come down to the root level. The team given to chapple was having unity, no internal difference, no backlashing, no fear of failure and now, we have groups, fear for failure, personality clashes all gifted by Chapple.
