I just wonder how shameless this person named Greg Chappel can be. He was ignominously thrown out as a coach from Indian Cricket team and now in his own country Asutralia too, the players have strictly and rightly so, barred him to enter the dressing room. A person like him who wants a lucrative job and always want to hog the limelight should be barred from any cricketing duties. In fact, the media should also ban him from getting any coverage. This is one person who has done irreparable damage to Indian cricket. Frankly, he should be barred antry to any of the cricket playing nations for all the nonsenses that he has done in the past.
ganguly over trusted zaheer khan and ashish nehara but fact proved that australia put 359 runs huge total for the loss of just 2 wickets and india got all out for 234 loosing the one day final 2003 by 125 runs if india could have batted first the result could have been dilute

In the group stage India batted first and got a mere 120/130 which was just a matter of walk over for Australia. So we need to accept the fact that 2003 Aus Team was better than Team India and that is why they won the World Cup. Like in 1983 & 2011 we were the best. In 2003 we were the 2nd best. No Ganguly or Tendulkar or Dravid was responsible for this.

if you see the matches of 2003 wc, all 3 fast bowlerssrinath, nehra and zaheer were won "man of the match" award. in final all 3 bowlers were off colour, it is obviousely pressure.... it is team started "Thinking about the result of the match before the ball is bowled" and aus was in pinnacle form.. Mcgrath, lee,ponting and martyn...348 was toooooooooooooomuch for any team for aus bowling attack... so we lost... one off day from bowlers unfortunately it was final...deserved no:2 and we can walk with head high....
