The ascendency of India as an economic world power

Indian unexpected exit from World Cup Cricket 2007 has caused massive outrage in India. Millions of fans are extremely unhappy. Indian media has continued its attack on BCCI and Indian players. Many fingers are being pointed towards the coach, Greg Chappell.

Some are even saying that India should have an Indian coach not a foreign coach. Some BCCI officials are trying to save the job of Greg Chappell but I am not sure if they can save him in the end.

India Times reported:

While the BCCI will meet in Mumbai on April 6 and 7 to review the debacle and take a decision on Chappell, some members of the BCCI are keen on an Indian coach, with names like Anshuman Gaekwad, Sandeep Patil, Ravi Shastri and Mohinder Amarnath doing the rounds. But will it make a difference really, Indian or foreign coach, considering it’s ultimately our boys in blue who have to perform out there in the middle?

Former India player Kirti Azad said in a report that the Indian team needs a coach from the sub-continent. A member of the 1983 World Cup winning squad, Azad, said, “The role of the coach is very important. If you appoint a foreign coach, he will adopt strategies that may not be easy to follow for Indians.

I do not have any problem with Indian team having a foreign coach. However, I do not want another coach like Greg Chappell. Chappell was so much busy with keeping Sourav Ganguly from Indian team for a long time. I want to see a new coach who would unite the team again.
