sack chappell
by mamillapalli ravi on Apr 04, 2007 10:12 AM

well said navin ayosla. I would say chappell hasnt done anything good for our country. he should be motivator and I see the team crumbled when it is compared to 2003 world cup team and he is questioning sachin's commitment to cricket. you shouldnt question a great cricketer who served for several years playing for the country. chappell is not good for our country. two reasons for this --- he brings opinion when everything is done and that too some reports. he experimented till the last match before the worldcup without settling with an order. if you look back in 2003 we have perfect 11 and we had stick with that team and order didnt change much. they were flexible sometimes which is good enough. communication gap is there for some players and chappell. he has 2007 vision which is exiting from worldcup even not going to super 8s. Is it the vision??? He lessened the confidence of players. after his arrival there were all chaos in indian cricket starting from ganguly-chappell spat, now about senior players terming them as mafia. Its a conspiracy that chappell has been sent to India to weaken the team and in turn secure australia worldcup hattrick. seems funny but it happened that way some or other way. Last worldcup we only came close to win the worldcup. In those circumstances for defending the cup again they have pitted chappell and see what happened --nonsense. he believed in youngsters which is perfectly fine. but if there is mix of experience and youngsters then u have chance of winning any cup. the final say is to sack chappell and look for youngsters and take crciketers who would give 200% for their country.
