Where are we going with Chappell and Rahul?

Question

Guys, how much money does an Indian cricket player makes?...I have feedbacks and research which says they make any where near 50 crores to a minimum of 1 crore INR…. for the player playing for the country at diff levels…that includes all the pay cheques, endorsements, sponsorships etc……what I am trying to bring here aint how much they earn!....my question is whether is it just karma that they were born in a cricket frenzied nation that pays them such huge pay cheque whether they win or fail?.....for that kind of money, half of the third world citizens will fight to victory against all odds…....are our guys in the comfort zone and overpaid?.....

The example that comes to my mind is Australia and we have an Aussie coach…….the only aussie thing that he has managed to pass on to the Indian team is being vindictive…things didn’t work out with Saurav, so trample him….otherwise, what value added has he got to team?......

Ultimately I reckon it is the captain that drives the team, and aint the coach….Saurav as the Captain had the vision , leadership and the conviction in his team and he took in the good words from Wright to make the team work…..here, Chappell is saying what will work and what wont and the captain meekly agrees to it……else I don’t see why Sehwag has to come down the middle order when he aint designed like that and why the Captain should be the opener when he aint meant to be…….unilke Saurav, when he realized that Sachin and Sehwag make a lethal combination, he stepped back to be at no.4 …..here, Rahul thought that he will be better than Sehwag at an attacking position as an opener…Man, rewind your memory Rahul….You were never recognized as an attacking batsman and there was a time when your presence in the Indian one day team was questioned…leadership is all about that…Saurav was also questioned about his presence in the team and he answered with a back to back centuries in England….and later he was promoted as the captain and he instilled the faith in the team that if they do well, he will back them and he did……no wonder under him, India has seen most success…


Whom have you nurtured?....whom have you built the faith in?.....will you back guys like Dhoni, Kaif, Yuvraj and Sehwag when they are going thru a rough patch? Or will you again for a yoga camp as per Chappels suggestion?..Rahul, be a man and take decisions…..

Criticism is very easy for any one. But to perform is difficult. You have been talking so high abhout Ganguly and his captaincy.
No doubt he was an excellent player and captain. But I feel success made him crazy and an ego was developed into him. He started feeling that he is great and no one can do anything to him. If one remember, his downfall started from the time he skipped from last years Challenger Trophy citing the reason of tennis elbow. Had he lead the Indian Seniors in that match, he would have continued as Indian Captain even now. The ego of Ganguly was the reason forhis downfall.

As far as Rahul Dravid is concerned no one should dolubt about his strength as a batsman. Judgiong his captaincy so soon is not at all fair. Give him some time and then judge,

I agree there has been many experiments in the batting position. Australia, which is the best team in the world are also experimenting and there is nothing wrong with it. If the experiments were proved success will people criticise Coach and Captain. I am sure not and they will aqpplaud them and take them to sky limits. It is always good to experiment with various combinations in the matches which are not so crucial before entering into a major tournament, so that we will know which man is suited at which place. Dravid opening the innings is not because he thinks that he can score faster. It was with an idea to have a solid defencive player to keep one end tight and fast scoring can be done by the batsman at the other end, so that you may not loose many wickets at the top before the game is nearing half way stage. Shewag is a hard hitter and India want some hard hitting batsmen to score quite runs at slog overs as Indian team has been always failing to score quick runs at the slog overs.

So, I strongly feel that one should try to find out the logics and assess the game plan before blindly start criticising.

As far as payment is concerned, players are being paid a part of the revenue which they generate to the Cricket Board. Can any one name a sport or game in India which generate so much revenue as compared to Cricket.
