Indian Cricket coach

Greg Chappell quits as Indian coach

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The writing was on the wall as Greg Chappell has quit as Indian coach. He said "personal and family reasons" although it's fairly obvious he jumped before he was pushed. He'd already taken on Ganguly and made the fatal (career wise at least) mistake of taking on Tendulkar next.

Till the very end, the Indian coach did not agree that he was a part of the bunch that failed at the World Cup and only continued to play the blame game. If the attitude of the players was not up to the mark, he should have made a point about that before the World Cup and not after the debacle in the West Indies.

The rift and the so-called divide between the seniors and juniors could have been averted (if at all there was one). Chappell should have addressed these problems, or reported it to the BCCI as and when it happened. Using things to his convenience after a bad result does not talk highly of a person who did almost everything as a player and captain right, except instruct his younger brother to bowl underarm to ensure victory at all costs.

Chappell as Indian coach began as a bold experiment filled with promise and a bright future. India even won a few matches early in his tenure. However, the experiment ended in ignominy with India's bow out from the World Cup. I can't imagine anyone wanting the job - the only less desirable role in international cricket right now would be coach of Pakistan.
