I was waiting some one should question on Greg and Board, and It could be Gavaskar only who can do that.
Don't misunderstood that seniors are responsible for WC debacle, just read these few lines :
1. when there is no talk between a coach and players for 4 days during the WC crucial match, you can very well understand the situation of mental tension between the players.
2. A coach's duty is not to select the team, but to keep fit the selected team and try to make best out of each player. Can you degrade your son so that he top the IIT, first you need to judge your son's capability and then help himchoose the best career and convince him he can do the best. Greg never acted as coach and only acted as a selector.
3. Coach's duty is to help Captain in deciding the XI and making him understand who can be the best at which place. yes you can rotate positions, but when you are winning and you have few such matches which you can afford to do experiments. Greg make dravid a confused captain on what is his duty. Dravid keep on experimenting even positioning himself on opening slot. Do you see Ponting or Lara open ? never !
4. Chappel played with the carerr of cricketer's making bad comments about them and making them insecure. What he has done, tried to make Pathan a super allrounder, where is now, not even in bagladesh tour.
5. Chappel commented, Dinesh Karthick a future captain, what about Karthick was not played in a single match in WC. Making Karthick as batsmen is again wrong, he will be struggling as like pathan in near future, its my words, you will see .
..... there are pleanty more, main reason of WC debacle was purely due to Coach and Board was not powerful even to sack him. Even board gave respect him after resigned. How can you summon Sachin and Yuvraj on a press interview, while Greg gave so many interviews and leaked information and you never summoned that.
It is good, our big bosses must speak loud again Chappel and the Board's decision., Kapil was always against Chappel and now Gavaskar, Rabi Shastri is kept shut being offered post , sandeep patil, gaekwad, amarnad all are not speaking only because they are in race of being coach.
I am sure you will see a lot against the Chappel in near future.
I would be Happy if Chappel coaches Aus talent, this will be easy way for the other teams (inclusing ireland) to win over aus.
