The real tiger
I have always respected guys who speak straight and are bold. Guys who are firm in their decisions and who act accordingly. I see often and hear about one man now-a-days who I think so as I have described in the previous two lines. Greg Chappell.Leaving out the fact that Ganguly is a real tiger from Bengal and which he thinks he is, Chappell is the Coach of the Indian Team and I don’t think a man like Chappell of such stature and background would have a false motive to mail that Ganguly is “physically and mentally unfit” to lead the Indian team. More importantly, he says that Ganguly creates a rift between players to cling on to the captaincy.
We Indians can’t stand someone pointing fingers at us. Why can’t Ganguly accept and try to prove that he is indeed fit enough to be the Captain. But to claim that Chappell is in the team for only a short term is like asking “bloody who the hell are you to tell me this?”
If Chappell indeed feels that whatever he has mailed is right then he is doing his duty and its unfair to question and comment on his duty. But Ganguly also should be on a high after he scored a century in the recent series.
Its like our kids cricket game that’s played on our streets. So for some time Greg is going to look like a Tiger to me.
