Below are some of the Chappel words when we lost matches continously
1) We might loose, and we might win.. but our main goal is World cup
2) We want to try out all the players at all the position so that they can fire in world cup]
3) We want fresh blood to put India on top for world cup
4) Ganguly is mentally and physicaly unfit
5) I assure, we will be in semi finals
6) He tried military training and kho kho and injured many players... what is the use of giving military training. his words.... we want everyone to be fittest
7) Suresh Raina is a must.. Rain except for England match in India has failed in almost every innings
And when the world cup came, India lost to bangladesh ...This man is a curse, a disgrace a god curse which is result of Indian dirty politics in Cricket. Let supreme court select Indian team... Indian team should have sacked him and chappel when we lost Champions trophy in our own soil.... but everyone said lets wait till the world cup... and here what he did.... We have to blame our BCCI.. the dirtiest many hungry body .. Chappel is a destroyer.

As much as i agree with you, i think Chappell is not the sole reason we lost. I don't think he got what he wanted, and if you don't look at this WC, i think he did ok. I would give him one more change(a short one though) to prove himself.
Let's face it, our lost was due to collective failure(management, selection, composition of the team, captaincy & coaching), not individual failure. One partnership in the SL game would have changed everything, we failed completely as a team.

Why cant we select 15 young players and ask chappell to train them. I think our senior super stars and cricket legends mess up Chappells plans. Chappell wanted to convince everyone keeping the old legends creating a batting line up so that they can fit in some how. That why we failed.

Yes.....you are right. As a coach he has been hopeless...ask the Aussies themselves...he ruined the south australia team when he coached it. Being a great batsman doesnt make one a great coach. Anyway, now Chappell is busy blaming the attitude of the seniors for the WC debacle. What was he there for......if not to control things? and dont tell me he didnt have authority.....he had plenty when he had Ganguly ousted from the team.

When Ganguly was thrown out, did you not see the outburst from his fans and others. So he did not want to do the same on Sachin or Shewag. Another thing is Dravid influence of keeping out of form Shewag and tried Kumble
