Greg Chappell presented his credentials, before the BCCI and its duly constituted Selection Committee, empowered to appoint, the COACH, of the INDIAN CRICKET TEAM. The then Captain /member of the Indian Cricket Team, Saurav Ganguly ,in right earnest ,promoted ,Greg Chappells Case/Cause, before the Selection Committee Constituted by the Board . Saurav is one of the most respected and admired cricketer among the many,in INDIA, whose valuable word BCCI always weighs.

Greg Chappell succeeded in getting appointment as Coach of the Indian Cricket team , and the whole of India knows, credit goes where.Of Course Saurav Ganguly. Once safely placed at the helm of affairs of the Indian Cricket Team, Greg Chappell started the manipulating , maneuvering game, with ulterior motives to overpower, the National Selectors and the Indian players ,and exercise his authority with all his might before the BCCI , and also started creating frictions within the team , leaked messages to the media, even before sending reports to BCCI,all with the intention to have a free say in the selection of the team ,and also directly interfered , in the work of the National Selectors, duly appointed by the BCCI , thus the greed for complete power ,of interferance , was the single motive of Greg Chappell. Saurav Ganguly who till the appointment of Greg Chappell as Coach of the Indian Cricket Team was doing extremely well both the bat and ball and also with his captaincy,Saurav was a respected name in criketing world and oppenent teams valued him for his abilities and capabilities both as Captain and player and thus he became the first victim of Gregs dirty politices . Nervousness loomed large , Saurav was forced to face media trial,without a cause, all a handiwork of Greg Chappell. Chappell not only destroyed the Indian Cricket Team, but also ensured that India does not reach even the finals of the world cup(one dayers). No body in the team was sure of his place in the team , and when one is confronted regarding to his selection, concentration is bound to suffer, and in the process team India lost its rythm and the consequqent Cup, all Courtesty Greg Chappell. He was a Coach of the Indian Cricket Team, and when not sure of his place as Coach of Indian cricket Team for another term , he shamelessly opted to act as Director of a Cricket Academy , Rajasthan,India.I draw the attention of the readers ,was Greg Chappells candidature as Coach was planned by Cricket Australia, with the objective to shatter the hopes of billon of Indians ,of winning another world cup (one dayers).Was Greg delibrate in his attempt, to play havoc with Sauravs Cricketing career ? Did Greg Chappell masterminded, that the internal matters of BCCI and the indivisual cricketers be highlighted in the media, with one controversy after one another, with the objective of disturbing the mental toughness , required for play, at testing times ? Did Greg Chappell ensure that he feeds Cricket Australia the very purpose for which he was sent by Cricket Australia ? Did he feed CA the game plan of Cricket India ? Did Greg Chappell feed Cricket Australia each and every players personal likes and dislikes , their strength and weaknesses in facing the pace battery, and the spinners ? Did Greg Chappell provide the weather conditions and pitch reports, to CA, so that counter plan be drawn ? I refuse to believe the above mentioned discussions and neither am I suggesting tha Greg Chappell in his capacity as Coach of Indian Cricket Team was fixing things/ fixing matches,(by providing information to CA) both literally and in the real sense for Cricket Australia,in the disguise as Coach BCCI ? It is only a thought that has cropped up and is not an allegation. Any thought constructive/ unconstructive , has to be rested ,by the society at large, critics and lovers of the game Cricket.

NOW that Cricket Australia is in India , and Greg Chappell is representing Cricket Australia, mind you , he is still assigned with the post of Director Cricket Academy by the Rajasthan Cricket Board, an affliate member of BCCI. Its a case of MORAL TURPITUDE .IS Greg Chappells continuanace with the Academy legally tenable viz a viz his representating CA in the official capacity as Deputy Coach. THE knowledge which Greg Chappell has earned as Coach India ,Cricket Australia is bound to gain,and Greg Chappell and Cricket Australia shall have the last LAUGH .Points to Ponder ?
