Do you believe Chappel's statements?I do

I do to some extent.After the dismal,horrific performance against bangladesh,I believe Cha....whne he said that there is a Mafia among the seniors who 'hammer r some times buse'the juniors.....these seniors undermined Dravid at times ....these were some breaking news that the channel gave abt chappel's statements.......there is some weightage to these words and he was not trying to save his skin......

Nope. Maybe the media twisted his words

When I said I do believe I was right.It's out in the open .The BCCI clearly agreed that it was not dravid or chappel's decision to bat first versus Bangla....but the seniors were adamant that they wanted 'batting practice'!and voted to bat in first.They were also totally against Dravid and undermined his strength....this clearly states the downfall of Indian cricket. all these cricketers who were in this lousy moves should be thrown out and heavily penalised.after all they were playing with t he emotions of an entire nation.

these r just supposed to be chappel's statement...chappel himself confirmed thatt this is all a lie...he hasnot spoken to any BCCI member till now...
n honestly i cant imagine any senior acting like a mafia... 😆 except peraps sehwag..

oh I completely agree with Greg Chappel's comments and his SMS sent to ranjan bala who revealed it to the media when everyone made Greg the scapegoat for the loss .

I mean everything is politics , I am sure the management , the players would have thought of making someone the scapegoat and who else but Greg Chappel would be the ideal choice coz he wont have any support from the management nor the players and they all would have already formed a group and Greg is alone here .

I clearly believe that the senior players didnt allow youngsters and even if they were included , it was politics like include the one they wanted or liked or who was from their state .

Why the hell is agarkar included in every match again and again when he hasnt done anything extraordinary with the ball .

We just need a scapegoat so that the players could be spared and continue their ads and money making business . Shame on all those who were " the mafia " .

I am with Greg all the way

i dont believe the so called great Greg Chappal 🤢 i think the sms episode is to save his skin,he had alwys the ego clashes with senior players,he tried to finish ganguly's career by leaking that email to board n by sayin ke he is lazy etc etc,than that infamous calcutta episode than this sms episode n leaking dressing room information to media,he is trying to save himself from the blame by putting all blame on senior players

i guess,......... its the players themselves that can improve themselves... no point in getting foreign coaches..

n i think thiz is probably true.. our team is 2 complacent....... they wanted batting practic lol

now they have enough of it bak at home

nah...i dont believe Chappel....he started whinning just bercause he is going to be sacked 😡 ....he always creates controversy....first with Ganguli ...now with other senior players... he is more often seen in giving interviews and creating rift amongst the team which is not acceptable.

exactly my thoughts😳.............i think to save himself he is blaming senior players...................instead of blaming others he shud accept the responsibility in a polite manner n stop creating more controversies by giving interviews n that sms etc etc.to the media...................greg chappell shud pack his bags n go back to australia n serve his own country as his aggression,badbolapann will match to the australians................India ko maaf kar do........jitna barbaad karna tha Indian team ko wo aap kar chuke hai..........................aur i'm not able to understand ke senior players se ego problem kyo hai chappell ko??.............senior players ko pata hai ke world cup me achha performance nahi diya to unka hi career khatam ho jaega to wo to puri koshish karenge na achha perform karne ki...........coach ka kaam hai ke team me unity,team spirit to maintain rakhe na ke kisi specific players ko target kare,n team ko divide kare aapas me hi.....🤢

It is high time Chappel is put on a Quantas flight back home, before he does any more damage to Indian Cricket. He might be the best coach in terms of whatever plans and stratergies he has to offer... but he has no idea how reach out to the players. If we retain him or give any more weightage and coverage to his publicity gimmicks Indian Cricket will end up the ultimate loser. At this time we need some introspection and not mindgames and blame games floating all around.

Chappel seems to have become an expert in these games by now, either the Email or the sms issue controversy. First of all he needs to clarify WHO are the senior players he is talking about? Sachin, Sourav, Kumble? are Yuvraj, Bhaji and Veeru also included? Because he went ahead and made remarks about Yuvraj! The Sms indicated he had problems with Dravid also. If he has a problem with the entire team.. then hightime we releive him of the stressful job and show him the door!

I dont believe this claim that the senior players behaved like 'Mafia' for the simple reason that i trust my team! I trust those players who have shown absolute commitement, passion to the game and taken Indian to glory. I trust the players who has given Indian Cricket more than what Chappel can give or even dream of giving.

Today if we believe an outsider and question the players... what example are u setting for the future? Wont it breed insecurity among the players? If u decided to accuse a guy who has scored the maximum runs for India, If u are going to question a guy who has taken teh Max wickets for India, If u are going to Question teh guy who has successful lead India...Teh other players are no one compared to these legends of the game. and if these legends are questioned and insulted after they have sweated out for years for their country, do u think a guy at a regional level will ever aspire to be a Sachin, A Sourav or a Kumble? Which child would attempt to strive to be a Sachin or a Ganguly one day?

Hightime we as a country show solidarity to these men... and make positive progress towards rebuilding cricket than listen to a man who always plays the Blame game and clearly is the reason for the rift in the dressing room.
