Short memory
by halwa singh on Jan 12, 2010 10:20 PM

Ian Chappell seems to have forgotten the 2001 series that India won. The Aussies were on a 15 match winning streak and all their superstars were present in the series. He is right about the bowling , but there are no champion bowlers in any team at the moment!!! South Africa have one potentially in Dayle Steyn. Australia have none. England have none. Pakistan have none. Srilanka have none. New Zealand have none. So what is the big deal if India have none. He needs to remember that we have Ajit Agarkar to fall back on.

Ian Chappell! You are a la Greg Chappell! No doubt about that. India won 3 tests against Australia, but you have forgotten that they simply lacked the technique that Australia possessed to win the Sydney Test. Had India won it, they would even won the Test series against Australia. Your Australian team's inability is that they could not repeat the feat against South Africa and hence, they won against Australia on Aussie soil.
True, you are right in a way. If India does not possess 'certain' of the qualities that Australia had all through its playing days, how can it remain at top for long?
I concur with your view. You are no doubt a 'genius' that Australian cricket had produced.

I dont understand why Mr.Chappell wants to bring in Gilchrist, Mc Grath. Ok in that every team in the world will be good at particular give time with great players, so when all the team brings in those players everyone will be champions. So Mr. Chappell agrees that Oz is not doing good, instead of giving advice to home county on how to develop he is trying to comment on India. Please make the corrections my own's side before we comment on others. Are you unable to accept India being at first are you lacking that much sportsmenship?

Rajesh Kumar:

Great comments. I like your attitude of helping the Aussie side. :)

We are used to be #1 for short periods of time anyway, so lets go on pretending all is well, and we will continue to be #1 in all forms of the game as we have already done since 1932. :)
