Now when Greg Chappell has resigned, we should not just keep analysing all the negative aspects of his tenure as Indian coach. He was blunt but was professional and serious with his job. With his resignation too, he taught a final lesson of professionalism and responsibility to all Indian Players and BCCI. The way few Indian cricket stars behaved with him was strange. It was like he never played cricket. He was not an ordinary player. His over all records (career statistics http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/india/content/player/4558.html ) are if not better than Saurav, Sachin then not bad too. He was good player and captain.
Today I read in news paper that Sachin was not having good term with him because of his batting position. This again shows Sachin's selfishness and megalomaniac attitude. It is already proved fact that Chappell is a better strategist than Sachin (see Sachin's poor captaincy records) and as a coach had authority to decide the game plan but Sachin was reluctant to open the innings and when coach didnt agree, Sachin became his enemy. Sachin should always know he is not bigger than team. In past once he had expressed his displeasure when captain declared an inning and he was on 195. He was more interested in completing 200 than giving some extra time to Indian bowlers to bowled out the opposition. That shows his "commitments" towards the team. Hope with Chappell's resignation, senior non performing Indian players will learn the basics of commitment and responsibility and will follow the spirit to take back their names from team. One thing is sure that BCCI under politician Sharad Pawar wont do anything good for Indian team. So players need to take initiatives to clean up the system and image.
