Guru Greg - ABC last night (22/11/07)

Did anybody catch this. It was a documentary made about greg chappels stint as indian cricket coach. I stumbled upon when flicking thorugh. Wasnt bad. Gave a good insite into what it is like for coaches and players in india. I thought the part about the World Cup selction team was good. And greg did state after they bowed out of the world cup that perhaps they got the results they deserved for the team that they picked. When the team was being picked he wanted a few different choices. Young players i think was the way he was going. But did not get much with the selecton panel going for the good old line up. Anyway was an excellent documentary, really worth watching.

Really enjoyable program.
All we hear about are the passionate Indian crowds. No one's ever really put it into pictures for us to see to get an understanding of it.
Guru Greg really put the situation there into perspective - now if only THEY could get it in perspective!

Greg Chappell was never the right choice to coach India with the set up they have. Hmmmm - funnily enough he's coached SA as well...

I dont think anybody is with there current system of the same old guys are the best and thats it. Chappell wanted change, wanted some youth in the squad. But what can you say.

funniest part was when the Indian Cricket Board arranged a meeting and told 2 coaches the meeting was in one place and got greg and his assistant in another....

it just summed up indian cricket
