Re:Greg Chappell is right

Greg Chappell argued the case that Raina was the most promising talent and needs to be encouraged.In bashing Greg and blindly supporting Dada,Raina was ignored.Now he has shown that he is India's brightest batting prospect.He is far ahead of Yuvraj in attitude.Yuvraj scores once in 10 matches and his reputation is built on some sixes in some matches.But Raina is far more intelligent,humble and consistent.So Raina shd always bat at 3 and Dhoni shd back him.

Are you aware that Greg Chappel is coaching Rajasthan players (not in IPL, but regularly for domestic circuit)

The difference he has made to Rajasthan set-up is for every one to see.

But Irony is that such players are given very few or rare chances and if they fail, they are dumped.

But see, players like Yuvraj, Ganguly, or even Uthappa are given many many chances. These player come good in 1 out 10 innings and retain their places.

Raina has worked very hard on his technique....if he can overcome his weaknesses against the short ball, he will be an automatic choice even for tests......

Uthappa should consider changing his name to Sathappa (with M.N. Nambiar accent).
