Sourav-Chappel clash
by Kishore Lahiry on Sep 28, 2005 12:48 AM   Permalink

For last few days this particular issue has sidelined all national and international issues to come on top. Peoples mind is forgetful. We are blaming these two persons for attacking each other. They are cricketers, one present and one former. It is hard to believe that they are not modest. Every action has a couse and I feel the cause was planted by the board before the last Sri Lanka tour while Rahul was declared as Captain of Indian team. There was no clear verdict from the board. Sourav was banned to take part so if Rahul was appointed as a stop gap it would have had a meening. But he was declared as a regular capatain and we found Sourav playing under him in the last phase of the tournament. Immediately after Sourav was declared captain for the Zimbabwe tour. For what reason Rahul got the axe? Is it for losing the trophy? If this is the reason then India lost in so many finals in recent past. It confused Greg as Coach. Sourav was not finding his class back. When team needs one spinner Anil has to sit. It happened with Laxman. So ego, sentiment and Greg,an Australian, hates to be defeated - resulted the chaos. So, leave aside frustration and look forward. Save Indian Cricket.
