***Official*** West Indies in India

[Pratters]

Here is the news. Also, I don't see why Ganguly would need such publicity at this juncture in his career of all times. So it is worth applauding and not causing any aspersion over really..

 

[Sanz]

Fair enough. I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with Chappell wanting Ganguly out when his attitude and work ethic weren't at the required level.

Attitude as conveyed by the media ? and you accuse the media of the following when almost each one of them jumped on Chappell Bandwagon ?

Chappell was grossly portrayed as a villain by the media but I personally refuse to believe that. He made a bold, tough decision and didn't have anything personal against Ganguly.

Bold tough decisions yes, but to hide his own inability to coach and motivate.

Nothing to do with the fact that Ganguly couldn't buy a run at the international level, I'm sure.

So? It's widely accepted that the Indian media exaggerates both positives and negatives to get attention.

Bold tough decisions yes, but to hide his own inability to coach and motivate.

See above.

The squad as listed above is the squad picked to do battle against India

[The Baconator]

He is already 25 or 26, a right hand middle order batter and he is more Chanderpaul than Lara, more STrauss than Pieterson.


I hope you got my point.

Ta, interesting to see if and when he gets a shot.

 

[Dover 1]

He will need to keep his sel confidence at an optimum.He can take some heart from the fact that players like Damien Martyn were forgotten after early promise . look at him now

Doesn't deny the fact that Chappell was unable to help him as a coach.

Yes, I admit Chappell doesn't have an age defying potion, or one that makes you stop flinching from short balls.

Even coaches have their limits.

 

[Turbinator]

Even coaches have their limits.

Yup very true, all coaches have their limits and a lot relies on the players themselves.

Btw, Liam, what happened to that Angra girl, don't see her on CW anymore?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Btw, Liam, what happened to that Angra girl, don't see her on CW anymore?

She started at uni and barely has time for the internet these days. She sleeps a lot when she's not at class. It's a very...er.. "Lauren" mentality.

 

[Turbinator]

O I see, she was pretty funny, do you by any chance have her msn?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

And by funny, you mean hott. I do indeed have her MSN contact, but I'm not going to post it on the forum.

 

[ash chaulk]

haha turbo stalking liam now

 

[Turbinator]

And by funny, you mean hott. I do indeed have her MSN contact, but I'm not going to post it on the forum.

Haha, of course not, silly Liam.

Anyways, yeah the idea of Ganguly auctioning his bat for publicity at this juncture is quite absurd.

i can see the West Indies strugging with the lack of Mahendra Nagamootoo

Agreed. Team needs more vowels, and he's the one who can provide them IMO.

 

[ash chaulk]

and you could chuck in his brother Vishal Nagamootoo as i rate him as one of the best WI wicketkeepers
