Mr.Gavaskar.. First understand the role of coach.. He is not getting in to the field for batting, bowling or fielding. He can pull the horses to the water pond, but he can not make them to drink water. Our dirty players does not know about that. A match winner should be able to play @ any position. If not it is meaningless to call him as GOD of Indian Cricket. About 10dulkar & chappel issue, chappell tried to get sachin prepared mentally for batting in the middle order (he thought that if we tell that you are useless in the middle order, he will get angry and perform), but what happened is we all know.. Our GOD is still not interested to play in the middle order. Mr.Gavaskar very kind of you.. Accept the challange of coaching the selfish players and try to get in to the second round atleast in the 2011 world cup.

I dont understand why Tendulkar preferred opening?The move to open with him was made when he could hit the ball over the top.Later his inability to bat fast was masked by Sehwag .And when Sehwag lost his form,he could not step up his gear.Greg made the right decision in not opening with him.Quality opening bowlers like Mcgrath would have exposed him anyways.SG is just tying to find an excuse; as though it was Chappell who was batting out in the middle. None of the batsmen batted well.Thank God finally,the inadequancies of Indian batting has been exposed.It is time our team owned up and stop blaming a coach who knew the truth even before the World cup made it obvious to us and who tried to do his best with a few sluggish,mentally thick,rags to riches idiots.

Great one! One Mr.Muthumani trying to make Mr.Gavaskar the role of coach!!!! How much cricket have you played sir? I think Mr.Gavaskar played a bit more cricket than you.
Well, if the coach shouldn't take flak for the team's loss then why was he hopping all the credits when the team was doing well?
