The board selected Chappell over Amarnath. Why, because Amarnath, like his father does not believe in mincing words. Just like the Maharaja of Vijayanagaram, the BCCI does not like people who do not toe their line.
Ravi Shastri is a diplomat. He has many years before him. He will not ruffle the Boards feathers. So we can expect a very safe encounter with Bangladesh. Lot of noise and very little substance.
Why isn't the BCCI preparing for the next World Cup, instead of blaming everyone else other than themselves.
To be a Board member you have to be a politician. And after 60 years of "popular leaders", we know that the only beneficiaries will be themselves and their chamchas.
