Sack Greg Chappel
by manuj bahl on Mar 26, 2007 03:31 PM   Permalink

What had happened in last week in Carribean Island nothing more then a wake up call. Cricket in India is going the way Hockey have went. If rot is not contained right now then simply forgot to even play in any World Level compettion once teams like Ireland, Bangaladesh, Netherland start getting serious about there domestic structure. Greg Chappel have done enogh damage to Indian Cricket and its hight time we dump him next flight to down under. Indian cricket was like a divided house in whole tournament. Rahul was playing favourites by selecting Sehwag even though he was failing like monsoons do with us every year. Sourav has his own bunch of followers, This cricket team was best on content ever but worst on team spirit. The reason for this is Guru Greg's divisive politics. He have proved beyond doubt that foriegners can be more lethal in playing game of Favouritism. This present Indian Cricket Team is full of Individualism and the credit for this goes to Guru Greg. All the efforts put in by John Wright and Sourav Ganguli have been wasted by this present management of Rahul and Greg chappell. Rahul donot have the spark of a leader and thus he should concentrate more on his batting which is falling apart with the burden of Captaincy. Leaders are not made they are Born and at present we do require a leader who can lead us in right direction with Iron hand Glove fist. Indian cricket requires a loud call on its dumb ears and the best way to do that is to ask Seniors inteam to either perform or be ready to say Good Bye to World of Cricket. Lets make Yuvraj Singh as captain and start investing in "Right Young Turks". Souhafrica have shown what it brings to the team when you have a mercurial youngster as a Captain. If a team full of champion cricketers like Shaun Pollock, Kallis , Gibbs and Ntini have Greame smith as captain then a team of Chokers (India) very well can have Yuvraj as captain who except the last inning against Sri Lanka had played the cricket in right notes. Lets invest in Youth and see the Results. indian cricket team require blood transfusion and only young blood can make us a cricketing nation of champions and not of Chokers.
