John Buchanan, a mask of Greg Chappel







Greg Chappel was a phenomenal coach who really succeeded to give humiliating defeats for India not only in the World Cup but also in other important series. He always engaged in news during the coaching season. He is a man of controversies and a person of innovative ideas. But his tactics never helped India as India lost miserably in the World Cup matches. The same tactics and methods are now employing in the 20-20 version of the game by Kolkata Knight Riders Coach, John Buchanan. What is he meant by the 4-captain plan? If that method is employed, I think there should be a 4 Coach plan also.








Chappel brilliantly destroyed the career of Saurav Ganguly and the same is repeating by the 20-20 Coach. He also lashed out at senior Indian players saying that the Twenty20 format of the game was for youngsters. Remember, Players like Shane Warne, Mathew Hayden , Jaya Suriya, Gil Christ and Pollock excelled in the first version of IPL. Saurav also performed well in the first IPL matches. Then it is evident that the senior-junior categorization is not applicable to 20-20 format of the game of cricket.

So Shah Rukh Khan (team owner) should remember the fact that India won the 20-20 World Cup under one Captaincy. Hence these silly suggestions of the mask of Chappel, should not be taken into account. So keep Sourav Ganguly as the captain for all forthcoming matches of the IPL, other wise the entire team balance will be lost.
