I dont know whether a coach is required in the first place. If we decide to have a coach, I don't trust several Indians, who promote regionalism in the name of selection. Mr. Chappel himself had a tough time dealing with persons like Ganguly, who put maximum pressure on fairplay through Bengali politics. This sends shock waves in other regions. A foreign coach would mean equitable policy to all.

I am sorry but Greg Chappel and his politics were solely responsible for our pathetic performance in the world cup.Greg Chappel came with single point program that is to make it easy for Australia to win World Cup.When he was appointed coach,India was the only team that could stop Australia from winning the World Cup. Very systematically,he created rift in the team and then got rid of tha charismatic captain Saurav Ganguly , who would not have allowed his plans to succeed.He was a captain who had a mind of his own and would not listen to anybody if it was wrong for the team. Kiran More, all along cooperated with him as , maybe , he did not suspect anything.Thus,it is better that we go for an Indian coach.

Yes. Exactly. He was diabolical. But BCCI has not learned anything from it. They seem to have tremendous skills for India cricket disaster. That greg Chappal is still in India screwing some Rajasthan team.When are Indians going to learn?

The issue is one of Bengali pressure to the detriment of rest of India. It is not correct to say that Ganguly is greater than other Cricketers. If anything, he can not be a part of the team and works for his personal benefits. Also, there are better persons to be a leader than Ganguly.
