It is really surprising to see the comments of senior players like Sachin castigating Chappel. I would like to ask:
a) What is the great service these people have done to the country. In fact, they should feel the otherway that the country has given them the chance to represent for such long years. Even if they have done service, they have done it at a huge personal profit and not free. Probably, such words like service to nation etc. were fine in older generation when there was little money in Cricket.
b) Is it not a fact that most seniors behave in a certain peculiar way and that is when other members are failing they see it as an oppurtunity to boost their prospects by slowly building up their ining even at the cost of the result of the match. The batting patern in past many matches would corroborate this. In contrast, many other teams in such eventuality senior players see such situations to establish them as match winners for the country.
c) What is the use of abusing Chappel? knowing his callibre he can easily find an alternative job? But what about our senior players who earn hundred of crores through Advts.?
