Iam not thinging like that, Greg cheappel is a good professinal coach.The problem in indian team is egoism iam the big peron iam the big person that kind of feeling is there amoong the some of the indian players. they are obeying the words of Greg. I think if a team needs victory there should be unity in the team. now its not there. After the world cup the selectors had done good things, changing the team.

it is the team selectors and the over hyped world cup by the media and some of the brands who advitise with the players why indian team has got out of world cup. it was shown as indian team was unbeatable this overconfidence made indian team to loose against such a weak team as bangladesh

I think Greg has used old formula of Divide and Rule. He has manage to divide the indian team . He has cretaed diffrence between some of the players. Top players were always in pressure because of this and that affected their performance. Which resulted being India out of World Cup.

i think it is little mistake of everyone .because if there was not any unity in the team then coach had to complate them to indian cricket selectors that they thinks that the players are not in there one communinty.

When a war is one the marshall leading the troops is awarded and acclaimed, similarly he is blamed when the army suffers a loss. Likewise when Indian team would have won the world cup there would have been praises for Chappell from all corners and now when they have lost he is to be blamed. Indian team did lose because of Chappell's stupid policy of excessive experimentation, especially with the batting order. He was alawys shuffling the batting order uptil the world cup. He even did some shufflings in the world cup matches!! The Indian batsmen are regarded as the finest in the world and were determined to do well, as many of them were playing their last world cup. But instead they perfomed very bad because they were not sure of the roles they were playing! It should be noted that bowlers performed reasonably well as there was not much experimentation in that department. When John wright left the position of Indian coach Indian team was doing well and former crickers from round the world as well as masses believed that India will soon become no. 1 team and win world cup 2007 but Chappell took India on a back trail. Numerous former cricketers rebuked his policy of experimenting with batting order, including cricketers from his country but he was stubborn with his policies and continued the ill doing. It is not possible that everyone else except Chappell was a fool. Bob Simpson the former Australian captain also remarked that Chappell was a failure as Australian captain and now has failed as indian coach as well and his attitude is to be blamed.
