This is a serious question. ya in india 100 crore people loves cricket .i think it's all happening now is due to chappel,when john right was coach our team is good enough to reach final of world cup ,but now it is crawling to get through the league matches .my question to chapel is what is use of losing 100 matches by doing experiments and going to semi finals and losing the tournament. he thrown out our team captain  dada ,who was in bad time but he is one of the good player of the world we can't forget that and he has an ability to lead the team to winning position .so we have to first remove chappel from coach and make any indian coach like sandeep patel as coach...

I dont think as India already has some experienced guys in batting and bowling so there is no need for him in the experience department.\nAs far as batting is concerned he would be taking the place of a younger batsman, he is nothing extraordinary and replacing him with some young blood would help the indian team.

When Ganguly was last selected in the test team he was supported 3-2 by the 5 national selectors.  Since then the three selectors who voted for him have been replaced by the new head of the BCCI.  You decide for yourself whether he is the victim of politics.  He did not do himself any favours with indifferent form and his poor reaction to comments from Chappell.

now this a question to ponder about.according to me at  the present senario dravid is the best captain of the indian team bcze he leads the team from the front and always plays a captains innings when the team requires. now if the team doesnt perform well then god also cannt help our team, let alone dravid.as far ganguly is concerned atfirst let him make his way to the playing 11 then we can take him as the captain. as he is more enthusiastic and motivative which our team requires dearly.

You don't want to blame the players for their performances and you want Greg Chappell to continue as the coach. Then, between the two, who should be blamed for India's recent poor performances? Not Sourav Ganguly, I hope.\nExperimentation is OK when you have 22 players who are close to each other in their performing abilities. India can just about manage 6 to 7 at the most, who are certain and consistent performers. So what's the logic behind Chappell's chop and change? Why should consistent performers in a particular slot make way for others, when the replacement's performance is unsure? With World Cup, 2007 round the corner, isn't it time we had a set team in place, raring to go? \nAnd whatever happened to motivation? Both coach and skipper seem to compete with each other to lift the trophy for the most uninspiring leader. And on top of that, contrary to the much touted belief that Chappell has a shrewd cricketing sense, he is in reality a shrewd politician who has optimally utilised BCCI politics and infighting to his advantage. He knows that he can continue as long as he stays on the right side of the powers that be. That and not performance is the topmost concern of the self serving Chappell. \nAnd it has come to light that a lot of players, specially youngsters and new comers are scared stiff of Chappell. They can't speak their mind freely for fear of retribution (being axed at the behest of Chappell). Chappell's flair for vengeance has already been well established. So much for confidence building. \nTeam India (rechristened Team Chappell) continues to demand flat, dead tracks as a precondition for good performances and a victory. On a green and bouncy top, their performance is pitiable. And offered a wicket of their choice at Mohali in the just concluded Champions Trophy, they dished out a pathetic performance and lost to Australia. So what essential difference has Chappell brought about, which did not exist in the era of John Wright? Why should BCCI fork out an extraordinary amount of money to a non performing coach? Just to keep him in good humour? Or for some flashy, headline grabbing sideshows like training with Indian Army personnel? Even our Jawans must be ashamed at their association with a training programme, which brought about such dismal performances from the team.\nYet you contend that Chappel should stay on. A pricey coach must deliver or be shown the door. Yes, Chappell should stay, only till the date when his contract with BCCI ends.\nI'm sorry, being unable to furnish a single point in favour of Chappell, even for the benefit of a self confessed cricket lover as yourself.

Well Aswin, I will say INDIA bcoz,\n\nIndian team is an international cricket team which represents INDIA governed by BCCI.It started in ENGLAND as a test cricket before many years.In the starting INDIA played well.But in the middle,they struggled a lot by giving the reasons that bowling is not good,pitch is not good,batting is not good....Now-a-days,INDIA is doing well in home as well as outside.Our top batting order is very strong.Current status of Indian cricket is very good. Now the dependency of the team on Sachin has reduced. Every player is equally participating in the victory of the team from top order to a middle order to number 11 player.Now we are winning many matches by building good partnership.Before,we lacked consistency much.If one player falls,all falls immediately.But now we have developed that.We are also able to be consistent.Bowlers are also doing great.Our current status is shown by the cricket ratings.Still we can develop a lot if we does not bring cricket as a politics(which goes on the underneath of the selection procedure.).Coach Greg Chappel has played a vital role in changing the face of Indian cricket team.They work hard to bring their talents out.. Our indian team does its best in every test and moreover they are managed by good team captain and the coach.Captainship under rahul dravid is simply awesome as it can b seen frm de way de team had performed all these days!!greg chappel is shaping a perfect combination in indian cricket team with mix of youth and experience.Although the team needs to improve on some fronts chappel is sure to raise the team to heights that were unknown to many indian fans.The present bunch has everything to make a world cup winner!!!

WE CANT POINT OUT A SINGLE PERSON LIKE THAT.\n\nTHAT MUST BE A TEAM WORK.\n\nIRFAN AND HIS NEW BALL PARTNER SHOULD CREATE THE INITIAL BREAK-THROUGH.\n\nSPINNERS SHOULD CONTAIN THE MIDDLE ORDER.\n\nFIELDERS SHOULD BAG THE HARD CATCHES.\n\nOPENERS OF INDIA SHOULD GIVE THE STRONG BASEMENT.\n\nRAHUL SHOULD ANCHOR HIS INNINGS ALMOST TILL THE FINAL WICKET.\n\nDHONI AND YUVRAJ SHOULD SMASH THE TIRED BOWLERS.\n\nTOSS,WEATHER AND LUCK SHOULD FAVOUR INDIA.\n\nA BIG TASK AHEAD.

It is a nice question! Greg Chappell is a, sort of an useless coach who does a lot of politics. He is a Trojan horse made by the Australians to spoil the Indian cricket team by dropping Ganguly and Laxman.

this is the most professional combo of captain-coach in history of indian cricket. but there is no good team to back them up. so the whole team has to be blamed if they lose, not only dravid-chappell

It is impossible by the captainship of Rahul & coaching of Greg chapell. If Ganguly is the captain it may be possible.\nAt least they will go to the semi-final or final.\nThe team will be for world cup 2007:-\n1.V.shewag\n2.S.Tendulkar\n3.R.dravid(V.C)\n4.S.Ganguly(C)\n5.Y.Singh\n6.M.Kaif\n7.M.dhoni(w)\n8.I.Pathan\n9.H.Singh\n10.Z.Khan\n11.A.kumble\n12.A.Agarkar\n13.V.V.S Laxman    \n14.M.Patel\n15.A.Nehera\n16.S.Raina

First of all ,cricket has overshadowed all other games .People even think that India's national game is cricket! Indians have turned a blind eye to all other games ,hence the dismal picture in football!\n Sunil Gulati,a person of Indian origin who is the head of US SOCCER FEDERATION ,is the only global desi touch to Indian football.And then we have mediocre performance in desi club football,namely Mohan Bagan ,Mahindra united ruling the roost.\nI feel Indians should recruit a latin/prominent european coach.look at australia,tHanks to the splendid coaching of a stellar leader ,namely Hiddink ,they have trespassed a strong team like Japan! Its all in the coach and the players.Next on the cross hair comes the management.It should be meticulously elected such that it agressively promotes football in INDIA ITSELF!! they should also acquaint themselves with modern football techniques and technology,not the faux pas back then when they wanted to play barefooted!\n if they do qualify,which i think will be only after a few more years, their chances of emerging as champions will depend on one critical factor: a perfect orchestration of consistent performance and what all they have imbibed till then!A football team gets better with age they are in the sport,parallel to wine!

WINS AND LOSES ARE QUITE NATURAL.\nBUT...\nWHEN A TEAM REPEATEDLY FAIL IN ABROAD, THATS AN ALARMING ISSUE WHICH NEEDS ATTENTION.\n\nI THINK BRINGING GANGULY WILL NOT HELP MUCH TO WIN WC'07.\nTHE EXISTING PLAYERS SHOULD PLAY RESPONSIBLY.\nTHEIR ATTITUDE IS ONE 50 RUNS IS ENOUGH TO FORGET 10 DUCKS.\nTHATS NOT A WINNING ATTITUDE.\n\nFIRST OF ALL CRICKETERS MUST BE RESTRICTED FROM AD APPEARANCES.\n2ND THING IS THE MUST PRACTICE DAILY INSTEAD OF 15 DAYS PRACTICE CAMPS BEFORE EVERY TOUR.\nTHOSE WHO FAILED TO ATTEND PRACTICE SESSIONS MUST BE THROWN OUT.

NO.\nITS TOO TOUGH.\nAUSSIES HAVE TO FACE VERY STRONG CONTENDERS THIS TIME.\nS.A. IS ONE OF THEM WHICH HAS MANY WORLD CLASS ALL-ROUNDERS.\nWHICH IS THE ESSENTIAL ONE TO WIN ODI'S NOW A DAYS.

Of course, Ganguly should be brought back and should also be made the captain.\nHis records as captain are much better than anyone else.\nIndia will definitely defeat Australia and no one can stop India from winning the World Cup this time.\nGanguly is a victim of the deep politics going on between the selectors and the BCCI.

Help of a coach is defenitely required by the players especially youngsters and inexperienced players.  There are Coaches in all the Cricket Teams.  Though Australia is No. 1 in the world rankings and most experienced players, they are also having a Coach.  Hence Coach cannot be considered as a waste.
