To all the Indian supporters out there, i'd love to hear your views on these two coaches.
What do you guys think of Wright after his coaching stint with India? Did he lead the path in the right direction? Was he good fot the team? Any reservations?
And how about Chappell?? He seems to have got off on the wrong foot, so have you lot already written him off? Or are you willing to see what happens over the next year, the world cup etc?? Has anyone burnt any effigies of him yet?
What I have noticed about Indian cricket fans is that they are very, very fickle. I know the public were burning effigies of Chappell recently,but i feel that if they do well in the test series in SA, they people will erect statues of him.
I remember being at the Aussie/India test match in Mumbai when 20 wickets fell in the day in 2004. India were fielding and Sehwag dropped an outfield catch. After a chorus of boos, the chant erupted - 'Sehwag's a dok-key! Sehwag's a don-key!' over and over... They were relentless in their jeers and hisses. About 20 minutes later, Sehwag caught a catch and the Aussie innings ended. The crowd then started praising his name 'Seeeehhh-waaaaag!! Seeeehhh-waaaag!!' like he was an immortal... he came out to bat in the following innings and the place just went crazy... He went from hero to zero and back again just so quickly
