way to go dude! CLAP CLAP CLAP! our current players' weakness against quality bowling on bowler-friendly conditions has now become legendary - only the 2003 Australia tour was a saving grace, but then McGrath and Warne werent in that Aussie team and the turning point came from Ganguly's century in Brisbane, which again was only coz dada's technique improved with the help of Greg CHappell (isnt this irony grand ?!)irony - take it from me, next time we travel to Australia/New Zealand/England/S.Africa, we are gonna get thrashed! WHY AREN'T OUR BCCI IDIOTS PREPARING SEAMER-FRIENDLY WICKETS AT THE DOMESTIC LEVEL ?? (the one occasion they left some grass on the pitch, at Nagpur (which is traditionally a batsmans paradise), our batsmen had no clue abt the pace/swing of McGrath-Kasprowicz-Gillespie) - I dread to think what would happen if our present crop were to face bowlers of high calibre on pitches at Perth, Durban, Headingley (where the ball swings like a whipcord lash), all the grounds in New Zealand and other places - SHAME on Indian fans who put up with all this rubbish!

Hi, No need for long summary, Ganguly favoured Chappel (during coach selection) the plan backfired, Chappel tried to put his theories (like making Irfan allrounder,experimentation,etc) again the plan backfired, ultimately during World Cup India team got backfired from West Indies (from 1st Round).
