RE:some errors in the article

We not only need an aggressive (it's only a relative term though, people express aggression in different ways) captain, we need tougher captain mentally and physically. A captian who can move quickly in the field, who can inspire every team members (not divide them).
And also, we need tougher and younger players.
So naturally it should be freed from all regional and mainstream politics.
We should create a sports culture that is not dictated by 3rd rate politicians and people who like political support.

It all comes down to the character of people who controls and play the game.
That means there have to be cultural change.
Traditional Indian culture do not take sports professionally.

They like Gods, Godesses, and they make Gods out of players, loosing the idea that it takes a team to be successful in sports like these, and everyone in the the team is equally important even if they don't hit sixers, they might have other significant roles to play in the team.
A cultural change, that's what Chappel tried to do. But I guess, he miscalculated the time required to fulfill it.
