There's something wrong about Chappell !
by UsualSuspect on Apr 03, 2007 10:43 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

How else do you explain the following answer of his from an interview after the World cup debacle ?

============================
http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/287012.html

Why didn't we play well enough?
Well I don't think India has won a tournament overseas since 1985. There is a bit of history to it. There are obviously some reasons. I am not prepared to go into them at this stage.

===============================================

Apart from this, there are a bunch of other things that have happened since Chappell took over.
1. With pretty much the same team, India went to the finals in 2003 but made a crash exit early in 2007.
2. Compared to John Wright's reign, there has been more friction and uneasiness in the team since Chappell took over.
3. During interviews, Chappell doesn't come across as a likeable individual trying to make things work. He comes across as harsh, rude, and offensive.

After all this, why should we keep him ???

1) Its been four years, people and strength changes. Health and Body changes.

2) Chappell, wanted to keep performers only. Thats cause, job security problems to senior players.

3)He is not happy with media. He knows what media does and make issues.

He is the only one who is fighting with old system of BCCI.

It takes time to change system, specially in country like India.

Those dumb asses in BCCI (refering non cricketers) will never change!!

I really doubt if there would be any change (big) other than sacking Chappel, and some other players (poor fall guys).
