In India , you are always the bad guy if you speak out for any cause. The Same with Chappell , just wonder if he wanted only revenue from Indian cricket he could have earned a lot by going well with Skipper Ganguly. But instead what he did .. he was the main reason for Chucking out Ganguly ( Who referred Chappell...).. Now we need to appreciate such unselfish attitude from Chappell..... Wasn't he right in going against Ganguly ....... Just look at Ganguly ,,,,in no means he looks a team player ..Look at his Running between the wickets ,, agreed he was good batsmen once upon a time ....but he neither has fielding , nor has running between the wickets nor has bowling and his batting is also going for a big toss....he is scoring run but at a very slow rate , which in no means is helping Indian team out...Things would have been different if Ganguly would have increased the scoring rate ....against Bangladesh ..actually thanks to Ganguly's batting ..he made Bangladeshis bowlers come into rhythm ........So Chappell took the right decision ...then and now also he is right in depicting what all is happening in Indian cricket..INDIAN PLAYERS no matter how famous they are ....somewhere at the side of heart they play for their Centuries and making money ..just take exp of Tendulkar....I bet on many occasions he has given his century more importance than TEAM ,,,( exp ...100 against Srilanka in Australia ..and 194 against PAKISTAN ..where Dravid declared the innings ) ...You wont find such attitude in Aussies and even amongst Sri Lankans ...we need to take some tips from them ......Some times its beyond imagination ..why players tend to spend time at the crease..rather than going for the big shots .....this is where attitude plays a vital role ....Chappell was the person who had the Guts to ...change the Indian Cricket .... But its as expected and Unfortunate ...he's out .. AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT ....JUST ONE SERIES WIN ....EVERYTHING BACK ON TRACK AGAIN ,,,SPECTATORS SUPPORTING INDIAN TEAM ..PLAYERS BACK TO THE ADS ,,,,THE SAME OLD POLITICS ........ DUDE ..WITH SUCH THINGS WE CAN NEVER BE NUMBER ONE ..... SHAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

If Gangauly was responsible by scoring slowly against Bangladesh, what about all the others who got out cheap, and bowled badly at them?
If a coach is responsible for every win, and the players responsible for every defeat, then it must be a very rewarding profession to be a coach.
Wonder how after failing abjectly in achieving any of the objectives set out 2 years ago, and leaving a team at an all time low, how Chappell can still talk tall, and have so many in their thrall.
Can't anyone, reasonably sensible, put forward a reasonable agenda of things to be done in Indian cricket, which anyway, will bear fruit in 10 years time? Good way to keep yourself away from being appraised anytime soon, and secure a lifetime well paid job!
