Ok....Its not that I am on his side or anything......but this is common sense yaar.....Although Greg has experimented and taken a lot of money from the Indian Cricket Authority.......He has even done something good to an extent! Coaches are like teachers.....Teachers can only teacher students that is the cricketers abt a strategy....But they can't tell the cricketers to perform that strategy well.....I mean.....Teachers will teach us....but they won't help us in our exam time!! Right?? I think its high time we should stop blaming Greg Chappell!

I know we look at cricket as a passion and not some gilli danda game.....but the cricketers also should understand the same....

India having the best cricketers to their credit should have been the best cricket team by now!

I think they should make some rules for cricketers in India:

* No cricketer should be allowed to endorse more than 3 products or ads in a year!

* If at all he wants to endorse more, we should look at his previous records of scoring runs or bowling....if it is pathetic....the request shouldn't be granted!!!

* Cricketers should be given some sorta package for Aromatheraphy massage or something coz its really relaxing...thats what I read in a book!! Otherwise....anything that diminishes stress is welcome!!

What do u think???

I think the way Cricket is played in India should be improved!! People like Navjot Singh Sidhu are good in giving advice to the team.... 😉 and.....some ex-cricketers and share their experiences with the new cricketers and tell them whats right and whats wrong! 😃

the players are to blame..they didn't perform. the coach just tells them what to do and how to go about it..if the players don't perform its the players fault

3. lets blame those poor inanimate pitches...for not helping our great batsmen....

4. the ppl of India...for pinning their hopes on a bunch of losers......

greg chappel is not a balanced person... sometimes he shows a finger to the camera, all the time he has a rotten look on his face - as if he is irritated and bugged up - have u ever seen him smile... he just looks a negative influence in every aspect... i still cant stop laughing remembering how a fan had slapped him on his back a few months back 😆 all news channels were flashing that scene and the headlines went -"chappel slapped" 😆 now that shows wat an average indian feels about this disposable coach... yesterday in the interviews he had nothing more to say - "we played badly"... a reporter said - "is that all u want to say?"... and he again almost shouted back saying - "we played badly" 😆 😆

What if fate is on your side and still you lose??????

You won the toss which was supposed to be very crucial...Dravid was out when he was 14 (lbw)...not given......how much more can fate help you???

See.....i am not blaming Greg Chappel and Dravid alone but they are also reasons for our failure.......

I dont think there is any way in which we can justify the way players got out yesterday.....

I believe in fate and luck...but like they say...fate favours the brave.....we gave up too easily yesterday.......
