RE:Great Sachin
by deetee on Apr 18, 2007 12:02 AM

shridhar how can you say greg was a great coach. his coaching record with south australia is mediocre and with India is average. He was certainly not "great"!!Chappel created tension in the dressing room with his highhanded and underhanded tactics. He alienated himself from the players, that is exactly the one thing a coach cannot do. The job of a coach is to strategize and motivate, but chappell wanted to be more of a selector. If you look at the Chappel brothers (read about them and their books) you will see they are not very nice people, they are abrasive, opinionated and very full of themselves. All these attributes are ok, if the person in front of you is also like that or if you are providing "expert" comments. But these attributes are absolutely lethal when you are the coach of the Indian cricket team during a stressful period for the team.
