On Greg Chappell
by Ram krish on Apr 05, 2007 06:28 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

I have great respect to the entire Chappell family's contribution. They have played their Cricket the profesionl way and I admire them. Critisim is welcome but not insult.

Our Cricketers are considering themselves just next to the Gods. Their present status has changed their life style. I doub't whether they sweat and stink as before they were successful and lack zero "killer instinct" because of this. Cricket is bigger than these demi-gods so respect it, and talk in terms of Cricket only not Sachin, Rahul, Shewag & Co.

God bless Cricket.

Ram Krish

That's right Ram. Yeaterday one of the news channels, Madan Lal mentioned that "our players are stars first then cricketers. It is difficult to handle stars than the cricketers. Greg didn't know how to handle the stars". It seems true.

Dear...

We all need to understand about our star status players. The big 3 you can call. Sachin, Sourav and Rahul. See the records and you can know, who has played for the country and who has played for their records. If you see at any instance, Rahul was and is a team man, who obeyed to any kind of work given to him and he is the man in crisis. Dont you think so? But poor indian media, never really talks about peaople thouse who deserve it....
The other two, though are great and stylish players, never really played for the country.
