Greg Chappel must own the responsibility for what he has done to Indian cricket. The team he got in 2006 was a bunch of buys who were tagged together with a strong rope (read Saurav ganguly). First he burnt the rope and then destroyed each stick one by one. The job of the coach is to take care of all the off-field activities. he is the one who has to take care of well being of all the members in both physical and mental aspects. He is like a father figure to the team, whose role is to resolve a crisis and not to create one. Can I ask what Greg has done to rectify the errors in Team India's form or fitness. It was Greg who taught Ganguly how to tackle the Aussies, but he forgot the same for Sehwag. he never made it a point to discuss Irfan's problem with mentors and experts, but left him to fend his way and means in domestic cricket. Is this the way a coach has to work? His disregard for senior pros like Kumble, Zaheer and Saurav is well known. He did his best to ensure that they are kept out of team. Though Saurav and Zaheer forced their way in team, Kumble was again made the scapegoat. Why the hell he was picked up for the world? Why he was played against Bermuda and was dropped after taking three wickets? He is again misleading us with the barb that the senior pros let us down. Is he pointing towards Sachin? Other than him all seniors pros played their part. By the way what the juniors did. Dhoni, Harbhajan, Utthappa all let us down. So how can the seniors be blamed. That is the key to Greg's folly, he wants to assume all the powers, then tends to abuse it and finally gets away without owning the responsibility. If these are not reason enough to fire him?
