Greg Chappel resigns as Indian cricket Coach

Indian Cricket team coach Greg Chappel has resigned citing personal and family reasons. The decision came two days before the scheduled BCCI meeting where a decision was to be taken on extending his contract. Greg Chappels with Indian side was up to the 2007 world cup only.

Greg Chappels innings with Indian side was a failure of a softs, as he couldn't deliver what was expected from him. When he took over the reins of Indian cricket team, world cup was the immediate goal with almost 2 years to go. The goal to build the team for world cup couldn't materialize and Indian team was out from the contest, sorely beaten by Bangladesh in initial rounds.

Chappel lacked attitude for coaching as he was poor in man management. He tried to bully senior players and and that proved fatal disturbing the team spirit and effect on over all moral of the team. He was arguably most controversial coach Indian cricket team had so far. He had a big showdown with ex-captain Sourav Ganguly, which resulted in dropping of Saurav from Indian team. But subsequent poor show by team in South Africa and Against West Indies forced Saurav Ganguly's come back. It proved Chappel is all the talk and no go. To worsen the situation team fared badly in world cup and Chappel put the blame on senior players questioning their attitude. It rubbed at wrong places and Sachin Tendulkar a demi god indian cricket was hurt by Chappels analysis of debacle.

Chappels impulsive nature and style of functioning has brought the Indian team to such a low that they were beaten by Bangladesh in world cup. His excessive experiments and division tendencies were detrimental for the indian cricket teams fortune. In fact Chappel is never been a good coach as evident from a provincial side of Australia he coached. Now it has become difficult for the get another assignment as coach any where in world with Indian experience.
