Arjn Swarup's write up seems to be highly lopsided!! The "process"& "method" things overhyped by Chappel & co. did not fail once as mentioned against WI series), but many a time like Malayasia series, Champions trophy & SAF one dayers!!
Still, Swarup seems to find solace from the fact that the same "method' produced results in 6-1 drubbing of SL in 2006 , which seems to be tip of the iceberg. the relent less Chop & Change theory of Chappel seems to have converted talentslike Pathan & Sehwag into non-performers, since they them selves started doubting their abilities.
So, the fact remains the the failure is a collective one & the onus should be taken by Chappel & Dravid for flawed "methods" & "processes".
I'd like to know the views of other rediff bloggers on this...

I totally agree with you Mr Chandra.
Arjun Swarup is attributing this defeat for not following Chappell's "youngsters" campaign consistently. Probably he must have forgot that the youngsters to whom is referring to ( kaif,raina, mongia) have failed miserably over the last two years and did not live up to the trust posed in them.
Chappel is responsible for damaging the careers of Sehwag and Pathan due to his short sighted policies and practices.
