Well, was he given a free hand ? How about Somnath Chatterjee joined chorus with his fellow commies and screamed for Ganguly's inclusion.
In my opinion, Chappell probably needed a year more to get the team used to his ideas. Experimentation and rotation is not the sole reason of player's lack of confidence, but for Chappell we wouldn't have heard of Suresh Raina, dinesh kartik , Ramesh powar or Sreesanth. True, Sehwag and Pathan lost their form, but haven't we seen that happen to many international players, don't you think its also a player's responsibility to concentrate on his form instead of sulking (Pathan) or getting fat ( Sehwag) . Also, dont you remember him praising the players in the media, are coaches only entitled to say bland platitudes ? Basically desi style chamchagiri(cronyism) is the only virtue of organization like BCCI, and an outsider like GC never really got that context.
