I dont find anything wrong with CHAPPELL Even team manager is so positive towards the Aussie..... what could be wrong is........ existance of useless players like Sourav,harbhajan,zaheer,yuvraj,agarkar...... The first of the above are two culprits for Indian team.......
Poor Aussie tried to implement their Aussie kind of rules..........
once again It proved clearly that we are so back to Aussies mindsets.....
The best ex- was they removed even STEVEN WAUGH bcoz of AGE.......
But we?
one great senior players cried yesterday to make us fools they should remember the day today is not APRIL 1st....but April 4th....... In my view, The poor Aussie is good at final he resigned for mortal values

Buddy ... These are the so called "useless players" who took India to last WC finals ..
Better learn appreciating the contributions of seniors like Sachin and Sourav before boasting some foreigners ..
Chappel came to India to destroy the team .. He succeeded because of some people like you ..

U always believe that Old is Gold.But this saying doesnt fit in here.Instead "The Old Dogs dont learn new tricks".Coach tried to change the mindset of certain so called senior players who were in their comfort zone,He failed due to the strong lobby of these guys.To build a new succesful team he insisted on new players ,which unfortunately wasn't provided

Playing on a dead wicket is anybody's cup of tea. Playing off-side only is dada's cup of tea !!!. The true reason Sachin did not want to play in the middle order is the feilding restrictions won't be there, so tough to get the score and a good strike rate cum average. Sachin wants opening in onedays but he does not want to open the innings in test cricket, then he and the team needs some one else to open the innings for test. These are called double standards. Sachin and dada both think that they are playing for their brand value and endorsements from ads, than they think themselves to be patriotic. Sachin want to grab the captancy from the back door, and he was partly successful in getting vice-captain position in the team, by present performance he does not deserve in the one-day team at all cost.I do not know why Kumble was selected? and why sreesanth did not get an opportunity to bowl? some surprising questions to answer. Dravid seems to be caught in a quagmire, sure the most seniors in the team should go. As Chappel once said, "if India need to loose anyway then why not they try with youngsters?". Chappel hinted his view of the team before leaving "this is the team India(ns) WANTED" read that as team BCCI & selectors selected the team as per their choice. If BCCI fails to change it's functioning attitude then we should look forward to winning against Ireland and Kenya only !!!

I don't think so..if our guys can't stand the wickets...couldn't make a 250 score in today's ODI..there is no point in accusing team coach or any one in this matter..God should help them to make them scores..BAD POLITICS in every corner of daily business... :(

Just imagine the degree of greediness of this so called "coach", he himself writes e-mails and letters to BCCI and leaks the same to media to earn quick bucks. Doesn't he has any Code of Conduct to follow.
His report was supposed to reach BCCI on 7h April, but entire world knows what are its content. Thanks to his sale of his report.
By contrast, I never heard of the content of Rahul Dravid's report which is to be submitted on the same day.

first of all my friend above seems obsessed trying to lay the blame on the coach and acting as saviour for the players. I think it is time that we look at cricket from the mind instead of just getting carried away by emotions. The players do earn a lot of money and hence they are expected to perform. If any of us dont perform at work you are bound to get fired, it' s pretty simple logic. Why blame the coach? He can only guide, but the performance has to be displayed by the players. It's not that chappel can destroy inborn talents of sachin or sourav. I think people need to grow up and stop worshipping cricketers or for that matter even fimstars
