I thought it was a very good article .As a coach Chappell,like typical Australian seems to have given an honest feedback to his captain.He must realize that he is coach of Indian team where performance and talent is not the creterion for playing but its stardom and politics which seems to work.Lets look at the whole issue in a more objective way.Just before the recent Ashes tour Graham Thorpe was dropped from the English team and he subsequently retired from test cricket.After the conclusion of Ashes four players from Australian team were dropped.None of these players made a big fuss about it nor did it become a contraversy.My question is,In what way is Sourav Ganguly different from these players?Is it a crime for the coach to tell one of his players that he needs to improve or step down?.It is well known fact that Ganguly is out of form and has failed to motivate the team.Loosing 14 finals out of 16 is not reflection of great captaincy!!.Ganguly has acted in a very disgraceful manner by setting up his teammates against one other and against the coach.Todays decision by BCCI is a joke and goes to show the depth of politics in indian cricket.Sadly Indian cricket is the looser!!
