Raina, Pathan, RP Singh, SreeSanth, Balaji etc are enough examples that Chappell is not much better with youngsters as a coach.
Chappell Did send sms to Rajan Bala about 'Senior Players' acting like Maafia. BCCI should have asked him to explain that. Board didn't because they didn't want to deal with it.
I didn't even mention Chappell's issues with media. I dont think he can coach. Tell me how Good Irfan and Raina became under Chappell's coaching ?
The point I was making was that the contracts the players had made with the sponsors might not be over yet and there might be compilations because of it.
I haven't seen any one do some thing like that but what can you say if some one from the media asks you what you feel regarding earning money? If you say some thing frank, it might be pompous so people may go the moral route. Not some thing to be worked up on for me.
Tell me how good Sreesanth and Yuvraj became under Chappell's coaching? Chappell may or may not have had a major influence on these four - we don't really know - but I can see his hard-nosed approach and emphasis on fitness helping the young prospects. By the way, Raina and Pathan went on record saying how much Chappell and his techniques had helped them.
That's an odd statement, because then you also have to look at Sreesanth and Munaf, who might just prove themselves to not completely suck in the future (TBH still, before adharcric gets excited).
True, basically, chappel might have messed up pathan and raina...but improved yuvraj ( by a huge amount IMO) and players like munaf Patel.....also i think that players like pathan declined because of their poor attitude. I honestly believe that Pathan thought that he was a film star and that he had cemented his place in the team for good...this led to poor fitness levels and a poor work ethic! As for raina, he can still improve....he is just taking longer!
So if a player improved its because of Chappell, and if he declined its because hes lazy. Sounds very probable to me, seeing as Greg Chappell was the Messiah and all.
none of these players except maybe balaji are exactly washed-up as players, sreesanth has been really good in tests, pathan's batting has improved and if he can improve his bowling to acceptable levels, we've got a decent allrounder on our hands...raina and r.p singh also still have time to prove their worth, they have talent, it's up to them now to prove that they can grit it out in the international arena...
i don't know the answer to this, you may well be right....
in most matches(in which he has scored significantly) since he came back his strike rate has been in the 80s or the late 70s....i don't know how you came to this conclusion....
Have only skimread the thread, but from what I heard on the radio, the BCCI have finally attempted to dismantle one of the biggest problems for an Indian coach - the regional selectorial panel. Wright has said in his book what a frustrating system it was, with a different selector turning up every six months to the meetings.
About the sponsorship thing, here's an article detailing the lengths to which some of the sponsors go. Very illuminating, at least to me, and now I can see where the board is coming from though I still do not agree with them.
Last time I saw SreeSanth in a test series, he was average and His ODI performance has been so poor that he wasn't even picked for Single World Cup game, so for you to claim that SreeSanth has become a World Class talent under Chappell is pusre absurd.
I dont know if you watch the WI series, he was average. He was very good in SA and that's about it.His ODI performance has been poor, so no I wouldn't call him a success story of Chappell. Pathan's batting has been a big hype mostly due to his success against the Lankans. I dont think he is a success story of Chappell either esp when he isn't even considered for Tests/ODIs.
You didn't try to show anything but promote your own egostistic views that Raina is a super talent.
Are you incapable of proving a point without putting words in my mouth? You obviously still don't get it - my response was just a counter to show that you can't just prove or disprove Chappell's ability by citing one player who got dropped or another who topped the run charts.
I just chose Pathan and Raina, because they are two obvious examples. Throw in Dhoni, Kaif, SreeSanth, RP Singh, Piyush Chawla, VVS Laxman, Murali Kartik, Balaji, Tendulkar, Ganguly, Zaheer, Harbhajan, Sehwag etc, all are failure stories of Chappell's coaching.
You obviulsly have the habit of jumping out of your pants at the slightest opportunity. I dont know what you are trying to show off here ?
in santh's case, s.a was his latest tour and he did very well there, so you are more or less discounting that and going back to the west indian tour? a young bowler is in the process of development and he did an excellent job in his latest stint and i did not even mention his odi skills, i am aware that he isn't a good one day bowler yet...as far as pathan goes, he batted well even in s.a in the first class matches(when most of the other top and middle order batsmen failed), so the batting has not all been hype, it's just that his bowling has plummeted so abysmally that he has become a liability to the team...in any case, he is still very young and can still improve and make his way back...as i said in no way a washed-up case....
