indian players have really disappionted the indians living in india and also those who are living in abroad with their bad performance. indian players are washed out of the series because of their mean mentality and attitude. for example sachin who is considered as a the greatest player in world cricket has crossed the record of don bradman and he himslef knows that no one in the near future can over shade him in all respects, so now he is not bothered of anything. he wants to earn and make few more small and if possible big landmarks and then stay calm enjoying the benefits. ganguly is the second he is so clever that he knows that he has to retain in the team for future matches and earn money so he played a very mean game by putting pressure on the opposite player and on other team members. he should have taken the pressure from uttappa who just started his career, ganguly's vast experience proved to be useless. dravid as mentioned by one of the reader he is just a follower. he followed greg chappel when their was a big confussion in the attitude of ganguly some timeback which resulted in expel of ganguly from national squad. due to this the moral of indian team has come down, but in this matter i would like to appreciate harbhajan singh who has supported ganguly once but later supressed bcoz of pressure from the top. dravid needs to be more individual and strong in his approach, he has supported sehwag many a times though his performance was extremely bad in the recent years. when he could do for sehwag he should have done something for ganguly and to other players like kaif, laxman and most importantly for patan etc. you have really young talent waiting for their numbers to shine. atleast now leave the senior players like sachin, ganguly, sehwag and give a chance for promissing players.
greg chappel always with a cunning attitude. i would like ask our selectors and board of cricket in india why do they go for other nationals as coaches when we have great players like kapil, ajit wadekar, sunil gavaskar etc who are excellent in all respects. what is the necessity to go for other nationals? if you cant recognize our own talent then who else will recognize. i dont see any need to approach other nationals to assist our team members in coaching. board members please do rethink on this aspect and dont allow someone to boss on us. at the end of the day its we who are loosing as we know that once the coach is expelled from job there are many countries who will absorb them.

I dont know about the rest, but Gavaskar may not have the marbles for the job. He is only fit to blabber in interviews and blame the same set of people come what may.
