Greg the coach
This may well prove to be one of the best things happened to indian cricket. Good decision by BCCI. It's unfair to doubt the credentials of amarnath, but i strongly feel that greg had great edge over him.
Its important to the arrest the slide what indian team is undergoing now, which has the hit the rock bottom in the recent times. Virendra Sewag, Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly who else we want to become world beaters. It looked like a dream team at the start of the season before the asia cup and no doubt its a dream team. But what happened was quite contrarary to my expectations. We lost the season's first final badly failing to chase 231. I think that had a great impact on the indian team. Then we lost badly everywhere in the world and the aussies rubbed salt on the wounds by winning the series.
I still strongly beleive that the indian team could have easily pulled test series victory over aussies.One innings that made the difference is that of Damien Martyn's in chennai. That's his determination what saw australia lifting the series. I rate that ininings high b'coz the ball was turning like mad and sun was frying everyone on the field. Even though the test was a draw, india already lost the series in mind by then.The rest is history.
75% of cricket is played in the mind.Its a mind game. Mind and the body is inseperable.One man's(Ganguly) depression pushed the team to abyss. So what difference a coach can make ? am sure greg need not teach Dravid how to play cover drive or Sachin how to pull a short ball. Its all about the attitude. It will be great to see greg rubbing some aussie attitude on the indian team. Greg, considered as one of the greatest legend of the modern day cricket has infact earned this credit after retiring. http://www.chappellway.com.au/ visit this link to understand cricket and greg's view about the game.
Am sure greg will bring in great values to the team, which is no short of talent. Lets pull a great victory in 2007 world cup.
All the best Greg !!!

Sure man, I do hope so. It was grim to see the huge Poster at Panagal Park, Chennai spell Ganguly's name "SorrowGanguly". Poor guy. I guess pressure mounts heavily and leads to successive failures and creates a lack of confidence and leaves you with a responsibility to reprove yourself and the lack of confidence inturn mounts more pressure and thus an avalanche begins....
