WAS THE INDIAN TEAM EVER MORE THAN AN AVERAGE TEAM EVEN DURING YOUR DAYS? ONCE EVEN YOU OPENED THE BOWLING!!!! THEN THE SPINNERS TOOK OVER.. A FEW MATCHES IN INDIA SAW SOME POSITIVE RESULTS. FROM ABROAD THE INDIAN TEAM ALWAYS RETURNED BLAMING THE UMPIRES/ THE PITCHES/ THE CROWDS/ THE VEGETARIAN DIET OF INDIANS ETC..BUT SELDOM A WIN... WAS THE INDIAN TEAM EVER AWARE OF WHAT IS DISCIPLINE? WHY COULD YOU NOT TAKE UP TO COACHING THE INDIAN TEAM IF YOU THOUGHT GREG CHAPPEL WAS NOT UPTO THE MARK. TODAY THERE IS NONE WILLING TO COACH THE INDIAN TEAM..EVEN YOU ARE RELUCTANT. THE BENCH STRENGTH OF INDIA IS NOT CALCULABLE AS THE BENCH IS EMPTY..THERE IS NO YOUNGSTER IN THE CALIBER OF MIKE HUSSEY OR SHAUN TAIT OR THE HUNDREDS AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA. MY REQUEST IS THAT "PLEASE FOLLOW THE GOLDEN RULE..SILENCE IS GOLDEN" IF YOU CANNOT STEM THE RIVER FOR PRODUCTIVITY SO SHALL IT BE..BUT DO NOT DIRTY IT . GREG CHAPPEL WAS THE BEST THAT COULD HAPPEN TO INDIA..BUT JUST LIKE OUR ERSTWHILE MINISTERS SCOFFED AWAY LEE KWAN YIU'S SEZ PROPOSAL ABOUT 25 YEARS AGO AND CHINA TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT, THE SAME FATE AWAITS INDIAN CRICKET
