The Sorry State of Indian Cricket

Over the past few weeks a new drama has been unfolding in the Indian camp, the protagonists being the captain and the coach. Saurav Ganguly the current indian captain has possibly achieved more success than any of his predecessors and Greg Chappell the current indian coach has just taken over the reins and seems determined to instill in the players an approach which is thoroughly professional and demanding. Ganguly sparked off the debate in a public statement and chappell seems to be determined to end it, the aussie counter attacking with his email to the board president (which was leaked out i "wonder" how) and his use of choice words. Both command respect from players and fans alike, but is a clash of egos necessary?? and if so in public?? the main question in the picture is should ganguly be in the team,let alone be captain?, a staunch "NO" from Chappell, and there are players,ex-players,administrators and chunk of the masses that agree and equal amount disagree with chappells views. My take on the issue! Ganguly is not a super-slick fielder,not in prime form nor is he an untiring bowler~ he is a reasonably good captain and is one of the key members that helped form the crux of the present generation of youngsters in the team but are these qualities good enough to keep him in the side!his supporters argue that ganguly has achieved what no other captain has and will continue to do so, but in all honesty i am positive even the die-hard ganguly fans must admit his time has come, the attitude, the arrogance, the flamboyance are all a thing of the past! for people who want him out, they give in a strong argument but should chappell be given such a free reign, its an experiment that if gone wrong could result in disaster for Indian cricket but if it works should take Indian cricket to greater heights,,,, I have to say weighing the pros and cons i have to agree with chappell on this one and hope that if ganguly is sacked and chappell given a free reign then positive things are bound to happen!On a side note, all this is hypothetical, its common knowledge if JD wins the elections SG stays if SP wins SG is history,,,,until next time
