India Vs Australia : Ganguly calls Greg Chappell “mad”

Ganguly vs Greg Chappell

India–Australia series is not just cricket. It is also about a war of words. It cannot have more attention than the former Indian Captain Vs Coach, Sourav Ganguly and Greg Chappell. Ganguly goes on to call his former controversial coach “mad”.

Reacting to reports that Chappell would ‘demystify’ Sachin Tendulkar and other Indian greats for the Australian bowlers during the upcoming Test series, Ganguly said “this was good news” for the Indian team.

“He has been a selector and also the head of their academy (Australian Centre of Excellence in Brisbane) and he has been thrown out from there as well. When he came to India, it was said that his Australian mindset won’t work here but he couldn’t work in the Australian set up as well,” Ganguly said.

The former India skipper said Chappell has proved to be a failure in every coaching-related assignment he has taken up, which is enough proof that the fault lies with him.

“The people should realise that the problem lies with him, he is the one making mistakes. A person can be wrong once but if he commits the same mistake again and loses his job for that, then that man to me is mad,” said Ganguly.

“So, I am glad that he is getting attached to the Australian team, it is good news for the Indian team. I am not surprised,” he added.

“Rahul Dravid is the sort of person who wanted everything to be good. He knew that what was happening was wrong but he did not have the guts to revolt and say that it was wrong because after what happened to me during the Zimbabwe tour, any captain would have wanted to maintain peace in the dressing room which is quite right,” he told recalling Chappell’s dominance.

“You can say that Greg Chappell’s foresight and thinking was not cricket-oriented. He came here with a personal vendetta and it didn’t work with Indian cricket. His mind used to work in a different way. His rule in life was my way or the highway,” he added.
