RE:Chappel just trying to save himself
by shankar venkat on Mar 28, 2007 03:13 PM

You are bang on! Chappel has time and again has asked for young legs. What we gave him was ancient legs who cannot even walk. Forget taking quick singles. they don't even want to play. They just wanted to get out and sit in the dressing room and warm the chairs there. Seniors and Juniors divide is very much in the indian team. We shoudl throw the Seniors out and show them they are despensible and not dependable any more. Our BIG MATCH PLAYER - SACHIN played one BIGGGGG innings against BERMUDA. And got a hundred against his name and a few brand endorsements as well. I do not understand why is he playing now. It's time that he should make way for young guns who are much better than him. Dravid - a good fellow- but good fellow does not win matches. You need to be agressive and if your interpersonal skills are bad, you cannot lead a bunch of 15 players. No one will listen to you. A scenario which is encountered every day by us whether in office of out of office. With Dravid as captain, i do not see India winning matches. Even if you have Dave Whatmore (current coach of Bangladesh) or Viv Richards as coach. It does not make any difference to the indian team. Chappel must be fuming now. But he was very clear with what he wanted as a team. As long as Sehwag was persisted with, India is bound to lose more matches. Kick all the old and ancient legs and get some fresh legs who can atleast run. Even if we lose, it's worth that gamble than playing these old horses!!!
