It is rubish to say that Chappell is not responsible for Indian disaster. He played poltics in the team. He even beat Indian politicians. He created differences between Ganguli and Dravid,used Dravid and More to oust Ganguli,created divisions in the team, almost finished many good players with his ulterior designs. He deliberately destroyed the Indian team as Australian team despite being on top always feared Indian team. I fail to understand what ulterior motive people like you have in supporting him. And this is the love of you peopole for such a disruptive elements that you have developed a sick mindset against Ganguli. Your one point program seems to be to support Chappel and criticise Ganguli in both cases wether he scores runs or not. Pity for people like you. Here, I will like to add that I am from Punjab and not from Bengal.

RE:How is Chappell responsible? by harrycheema on Apr 03, 2007 11:14 PM Don't decide players fate just on the basis of one innings. Just see that he has scored about 5 fifties in last 7 innings and he is under pressure to score almost everytime he goes to bat because of the treatment he received for about a year. Also don't forget that he is not Sehwag who will retain his place in the team even if he does not score for months. Anyway, so far this particular inning is concerned it was a day when the whole team suffered due to some extraordinary play by the rival team(which sometime happens). Even here Ganguli scored 60 runs. We should rather appreciate his effort when all other members failed to deliver. And so far as slow run rate is concerned, if Ganguli scored 60 runs of 90 balls what did the rest stroke players did? They scored about 130 runs of other 210 balls which comes out to be little less than at what rate Ganguli scored. The inning has to be looked in the total perspective. Yes, I agree with you that Ganguli was a great player and now he is an average player. I am not here defending Ganguli but object to people simply for criticising him for the sake of cricising. We should rather appreciate when one average player performs better than other average and at times than the more established and reputed players
