These very seniors took India to final in the last world cup when they were in a similar situation.Thanks to the then coach John Wright. Indians are ousted in this world cup with the same seniors playing. Thakns to Present coach Mr.Chappel is it not? Nmae one single fresh / young player spotted by the present coach and groomed for the big event. Indians were in a do or die position against Sri Lanks. What the coach was doing. Trying to write report to shirk his resposibilities One must coach that when he points one fingure at others four fingures are pointing at him. When mud slinging is done mud will certainly fall on person doing so so do not forget. One must tell the coach not to adopt divide and rule policy to escape when it comes. Pathan lost his rythem. Did he find out reasons? Instead he was asked to return from South Africa tour. So the first and the foremost thing would to bring all the players together talk to them be it seniors or juniors. Try to build confidence in them before taking any decision. Prakash

Chappal did everything right but he was never given a free hand. Why were he not allowed to choose own team ? Every players played in most irresponsible manner and now they want to put blame on coach.Look their body language against Bangaladesh and Sri lanka , they were more eager to sit in A/C pavilion rather than sweat out in middle. It is hight time now , all the senior players must be shown the doors.I give them a advice to keep their mouth shut even coach submits his report. We must accept his report at its face value. Best way to teach every senior player a lesson is to make them sit and play domestic cricket as long as possible.I advice to indian people not to treat them heroes. Thats how we can make them put some extra effort which we put in every sphere of our life.
