Their is no doubt that those Indians who are defending Chappel suffer from immense amouts of inferiority complex .And dont keep on reapeating the same old clieche about the horse drinking water. Simply consider this ,ask yourselves the question ,that has their been any other coach who was given so much authority as greg was given.this"coach" prevented players from talking to the media , this coach started a bizzare disiplinary shedule where strict rules were imposed on players (Harbhajan was repremanded for whisling on the team bus - and mind u Bhajji was not whisling at the site of greg wife).this fellow was given the uthority to drop India s most sucsessful captain ,he was allowed to toy with the career of India s most sucsessful bowler(Anil Kumble) who was dropped and picked at will,this fellow was given a free hand to play with VVS Laxman s career(a proved and genuine matchwinner.Besides tis under him Irfan even forgot to even take a runup properly leave alone bowling properly ,Kaif he lost his way ,so did Harbhajjan and Sehwag.If this guy was such a great coach then why did nt he use his batting expertise to help Sehwag and Kaif improve their game?? What happened to Nehra and Balaji. So many promising players lost their way under this bogus coach ,compare this to the number of good players that were developed during his time ,exept for Shreeshant their is hardly anyone worth mentionning,Robin is unconsistant and Raina did nt last long.

this is bullshit...Greg was a huge bonus which the Indian team could not utilize. Indian team is as good as its players....even Bangladesh bowlers bowl quicker than Indians. Indian team needs more shrinks than coaches. Maybe a team of 11 Bengali players could win games form India since Bangladesh Bengalis who been playing for no more than 25 years appear lot more gutsy and agile than Indians.

indian stars needed disciplining. ur name gives an insight into ur complex. ur post gives an idea about a dark-coloured vision-stifling glass u were born with.
chappel...very clearly wanted to get rid of the star system & preferred a merit based selection...but then...ganguly's supporters can never appreciate it. The very fact that Chappel didn't spare the mega star Sachin proves that he was a complete professional....& hence....a complete misfit amongst the jerks here
as far as his decisions r concerned...wud help to remember how pathetically ganguly & sachin played in the WC !
