SMS reveals Greg's grudge

Now with this article I rightly stand by Greg Chappel , its clear that politics plays a big hand even in team selection . I dontblame greg Chappel for the defeat at all , when the players didnt execute and instead wanted their own set of players in the team and shame on vensarkar for accomdating that and then acting innocent .
I always had this opinion abt Yuvaraj and good that its coming out now

read it,unbelievable,but its all over,now its work of bcci,which they will do by finding 1 or 2 scapegoat in form of prabaly chappell nd dravid

This shows Greg Chapell in good light. I am glad he fought for Dinesh Karthik. I like that boy he is a potential leader. God what is this media backlash they fear. Media should butt out and let the professionals do their job, Greg Chappell is right we need youngsters on the team. We have to try and develop the young players, think about the future, and what if they did fail, atleast they would have tried their best and got some valuable experience and benefit them in the next world cup. Did the senior players perform anyways Tendulkar and Dhoni noooooooooo. Tendulkar was a great batsman, but was he ever a good captain or a leader. No he was not I always felt he was one dimensional. Now that his batting has lost its touch its time for him to retire since he is not capable to captaining the team either. Dinesh Karthik is the future he is young too, so if they start developing him now he has so many good years ahead of him. I like Kaif as well. Wish these people played instead of Agarkar, Tendulkar and Dhoni.

agree with you completely , Infact I was looking at some videos posted in Ibnlive.com and they all blamed the coach and wanted Dravid to step down and infact give the captaincy to Sachin.When asked if Sachin should retire, all these ex-cricketers still spoke abt his past records and his past deeds .

If the yardstick to selection is performance then they should follow it for every player irrespective of his greatness in the past .I mean they completely overlooked his performance and instead blames ganguly , dravid and the rest .

why is this being revealed now?? 😕

Greg chappell should be out of the coach.

I think Yuvraj is a wonderful player and fielder.
He performed good in two out of three matches in WC.
He has helped india in number of occasions.

One Question... HOW did the senior players have a say in the Team selection???? Wasnt it restricted ONLY to the captain? And here chappel is blaming the Senior players...

And btw this view is just because India lost... wasnt this team tagged as 'THE MOST BALANCED TEAM'which has represented India before the World Cup campaign began? Now the same team became a complete useless team???

This kind of attitude only shows what kind of a person Chappel is... instead of standing by the team and accepting the defeat with dignity and grace.. he now goes ahead and blames everyone else apart from himself. This kind of attitude shows exactly WHY there was NO unity in the team... u dont stand up for eachother, u are busy saving ur own back and this starts right from the top, the coach!

Completely agree with you. There is no point in fighting now. This is the team that was sent to the WC, whether is was good enough to win the cup or not is not the point, the point is they underperformed. It is necessary to look forward, learn from the mistakes instead of starting this blame game. Accountability starts with board down to the players. But once they review what has happened, it is pointless to squabble over 'what ifs', move forward, show us that they have matured and India truly deserves to be the number one cricketting nation in the world.
