because dada was drooped he has discovered the test player in him.so,you must give credit to greg chappel for creating a competition for places in the indian team.bwcause of him,even the great players(sachin,dravid,souran) are on their toes.this was needed to take our team to the next level.our bench strength has also improved because of the chances given to the youngsters during the chappel era.all players have taken their performances to a higher level.

Biswa, what is the contribution of Greg Chappel as a coach? First round exit from World Cup, humiliating experience in South Africa, and overall spirit of Indian cricket destroyed systematicaly. Indians like you are born slaves towards the white. Shame on you.

Greg "Chapal" ka to India ko harane hi aaya tha because Australia has only fear from India. And Jab Ganguly ko team se nikala gaya tab he is playing well. That was totaly a private matter not proffesional. Chapal ka to kala muh karo aur bhaga do. Team without Dravid, Ganguly and Tendulkar is not a team because no youngster show that much caliber. They started their career with a bang and never look back. If youngster want to take place of any of the three they have to show that they have caliber and consistency.

hemant,chappel ne na jitaya na haraya,usne rasta dikhaya.he did not have his own formulas.he only talked about basics.when chappel took over,ganguly was not performing for two years.cricinfo mein dekh le.he kept his place by creating a rift within the team,him being the captain.he never attended team practices.ab dekha hai kaise bhagta hai ho.in todays game when he let one through his legs of harbhajan's bowling,did you see how harbhajan foul mouthed him?he still is a mediocre fielder.what chappel did was made all the places in the indian team available only on performance,not because you were somebody's crony.

shame on you,fu...er.the contribution of greg chappel was consecutive one day wins chasing which is a world record.and many more series wins.as a coach his success rate was only second to wright.and you cannot blame the coach for the world cup defeat as it was the players who did not perform.the players should have the attitude to face criticsm.they should not take their places for granted.it is all part of a professional set up so that nobody relaxes.and when there is a healthy competition among the players it is bettes for the team.tension in the dressing room should be used to better ones performances.and the better ones will perform when put under pressure(like ganguly).and those who cant cope should be ready to face the axe.

It was basically the format that hit us and the pakistanis hard in the world cup. The initial round with weaker sides were very much like knock outs. It was a flawed format. That same thing had almost repeated when ZIM beat AUS, too. Luckily, they beat ENG.
RE:MAN OF THE MATCH AND MAN OF THE SERIES
by Spinal Tap on Dec 11, 2007 01:08 AM
It was not Chappell that played for India in the world cup. Its our players. Chappell believed in youngsters and always pushed for them. Did not the youngsters win the T20 for us? Basically, things just did not work between our superstars and himself. He did not go to the same school of man management as Joh Wright did. No matter who the coach was at the time Ganguly was dropped. His time was surely up. He was going to go. Since, it was Chappell, who cared less about any of our superstarts, it happened quick.
RE:RE:MAN OF THE MATCH AND MAN OF THE SERIES
by Hemant Gupta on Dec 11, 2007 01:13 AM
The youngster does not have caliber to play a long innings thats why they fail in worldcup. In 20-20 they have to play for 30 odd balls and they are gud at that. If this is the case why those younster and not able to defeat Australia in the home series after 20-20 world cup. And wat about coach, coach decide who will play and at what number. Before Chappel came Irfan was gud in his bowling but now u all know that. Also BCCi has give him power to act like Hitler in team.

I agee with you with the all other players you you have mentioned. That is a proven fact now. But, I dont buy it when you compare Kartik with them. He has failed in this series and will be out this time. But, will make a come back.
RE:I Never want to hear from this guy named Dinesh Karthik

there are so many good players right now in India fighting for a place in the playing eleven, i doubt karthik can have any chance again..look at parthiv patel..he is knocking the door pretty hard with his big scores...Karthik failed to capitalize on the chances given..don't get me wrong ..he got talent..but so does so many others....its the hard truth...
RE:I Never want to hear from this guy named Dinesh Karthik
by Spinal Tap on Dec 11, 2007 12:54 AM
You are right. But, did you ever think that Parthiv will knock the door again? After we saw his 'close to pathtic' keeping and average batting? So, I would not be surprised if Kartik gets back into the team again. Is not competetion good for the team and for 'us'? Its the same with the Aussies, right? Its hard believe that there is no place for Haddin when he is in his prime form.
RE:I Never want to hear from this guy named Dinesh Karthik
by Hemant Gupta on Dec 11, 2007 01:51 AM
Parthiv is back on doors because he hits 8 consecutive hundreds in domestic cricket with best of the wicket keeping skills..if you ask 17 years old to keep and baat in front of Breet Lee with all are Genius out that not gud. I want to remember you that he is the only person to which England team hail his hands..because he was the person who stodd between the defeat of India and win of england in england

He himself has accepted that he had no problems to sit out in this same article. So, what exactly are you saying?

I think this is end of Dinesh Karthik at least for a while. It's 110% sure, he wont be in the team for the tour of Australia. The script is perfectly written.
RE:Dinesh Karthik

He has always been used for the benefit of Team. It was the same with Drvaid. Sachin, he wants to open in ODI and wants down 2 in Tests. Granted. Saurav can not open - Fine. Yuvraj wants a place in the side - Cant open someone else has to open to create a position for him in the middle order. What does all these say? Some of these seniors are screwing with the Juniors and weakones.

RE:Dinesh Karthik
by Saikat Sengupta on Dec 10, 2007 11:45 PM
did the rediff reporter even see the match, i doubt it. The Pakistani batsmen have survived thanks to some extremely lousy decisions by the umpires combined with some great luck.
A couple of clear caught behinds were not given, plumb lbws turned down, for all practical purposes India has won.
see again good bowling attack pakistan akmal/butt/misbah scoring run then definately ganguli can made double century. to secure his place this wicket has made (first in kolkatta and now in banglare) very good.

Lage raho Sameer...a few more days of such blabbering, and you would be an appropriate candidate for being in a lunatic asylum
why did simon taufel not give the decisions in favour of india?on at least three occasions he was plumb leg before wicket.on another occasion he let go kamran akmal.the virtual eye showed that the ball was hitting the middle stump half way up.i think the umpires are robbing india of a famous victory as india would move up to second place in the rankings ahead of south africa and challenge australia.the umpiring was mediocre.
RE:misbah was out thrice
by krc murali on Dec 11, 2007 12:07 AM
Umpires also play a vita role in the result of the match. If the umpire gives a wrong decision like lbw or catch, the third umpire must be watching & inform the umpire so that the the correct decision is given even if it is a bit late. why is the third umpire there?
RE:misbah was out thrice
by Giri on Dec 10, 2007 11:30 PM
Dont blame umpires for the non-sense cricket. Even our batsmen got escaped a few times in the first innings. Bottomline is, we didnt bowl well.
RE:RE:misbah was out thrice
by biswa pal on Dec 10, 2007 11:31 PM
there were no such blatant mistakes when the indians were batting.watch your cricket before commenting.
Hello everyone, If Australia makes the test cricket interesting India does it otherwise. I'm not too sure whether we're short of one bowler. We lack in fire power even though we're playing with only 4 bowlers. It always strange in India. If a bowler(Ishant Sharma) is given a chance he should bowl very discipline line but here it happens otherwise. I agree, he's new to international has to go a long way but you cant afford to bowl hell lot of no-balls. That's not the way to do bowl even if it's your first match. As a team, we lack in strategy and plan. Kumble doesn't know what he wants from his bowlers. Fielding too was pathetic. We failed to creat pressure in the field and missed a few half chances. If we lack in planning and strategy I think it's going to be very difficult in Oz. Unlike Pakistanis, they like scoring at least 4 runs/over. So it's better If we learn our lessons right now.
The other side, Pakistan batting was too pathetic. They want to get through the sessions rather than playing good cricket. Test cricket at its worse!!!
RE:What a waste of time
by biswa pal on Dec 10, 2007 11:17 PM
india should have picked vrv in place of harbhajan.the wicket is keeping low and a bowler with pace and height could have exploited the conditions better.also our bowlers were not accurate enough.so many balls kept low,but because they were not directed at the stumps the batsmen were able to survive.
RE:What a waste of time
by indiafriend on Dec 11, 2007 07:08 AM
VRV in place of Harbhajan on a variable bounce wicket? VRV is not a wicket to wicket bowler. Man where did you learn your cricket from? It should have been Murali in place of Ishaant
Why do we still have this crappy form of cricket when there is One day and 20-20. I find it funny when people say "its a true test of character" . Thats complete bull plop ! Agreed thats its challenging to play 5 full days in a row, but you bloody sweat for 5 whole days and in the end no result. Everybody just shakes hands, pats each others bums and there is no winner (Only losers who watched the match). What a royal waste of time. There should be a bowlout at the end of a drawn test match to decide the winner.

Not everybody like everything. You don't really have to spend your entire 5 days watching test cricket. You can watch anything else on TV. I truely enjoy watching test cricket and I'll always enjoy it. I'm sure I'm not a one off example, a lot of people I know actually love it and Test Cricket has a charm of its own. I do not like Saas Bahu serials but that doesn't mean they should take them off air or stop producing them just for me. I'm sure a lot of people like it, but I would regard it to be a waste of my time and so would avoid watching it.

by man khurd on Dec 11, 2007 12:53 AM
I dont care what is "real" and what is "unreal". I just cant get over the fact that at the end of 5 hard fought days, there is no winner. Its a disgrace to the wonderful game of cricket.
Thats actually not a good thing but Rediff made it sound like an achievement. To get your first test wicket after bowling as many overs is not a good sign. Ishant Sharma needs to improve a lot before he plays his next game for India. While he bowled the odd good ball, its simply not good enough for Test Cricket where its okay to bowl the odd bad ball. He's got to make the batsmen play at more balls and start hitting the right lenghts. He's got decent pace but his line and length is poor. He's just 19 and is inexperienced even in first class cricket. I think he's been thrown into the deep end of things too soon and definately needs Srinath to work on his action and final delivery stride. Hopefully he'll be really good for India in the long run.

Forget about being under a coach dude. All you need is bowling basics. I dont see I Sharma have at least few of them. Coach can teach you techniques to improve your bowling. You cant go and ask him what's a line and length?? It's ridiculous. As laxman vernekar said in this forum, sure he's a perfect replacement for Sreesanth in wayward bowling.
