it doesnt look nice when gavaskar criticises chappell. chappell tried to take indian team out of individual player mentality. he wanted team to fair well but not the individuals. he could not succeed because seniors did not help him and they did not like someone to challenge their authority. one can see that players like gavaskar, kapil, shastri are compelled by public to take retirement but steve waugh and brian lara retire when they still are on the top of their form. but why should our present players think on those line after all they have some other vested interest in still maintaining their place in the team. gavaskar had earlier criticised australian team for their team spirit. but see how they are performing today and what has happened to the indian team. gavaskar has habit of criticising others for no solid reason. and now he has found a new person to criticise no surprise it again is an australian- chappell

Please understand the main argument of Gavaskar. He is not questioning Chappell's credibility- rather saying something related to our old colonial mentality. We have our own problem so we should have our own answer. Let me tell you something more. This is the same chappell, who refused to play in India in the mid-80's because of poor cricketing conditions. In fact he is alos making similar point but in a different manners and BCCI does not ready to come oit from its own backward mentality
