Indian Cricket's Soap !
The review committee meets today and hopefully they come up with a more moral and transparent solution to this problem. As it stands now it is very difficult for these two to continue to work together
As Steve Waugh states
The review committee that meets on Tuesday might try to work out a compromise, but I think that would be unrealistic. The spat has been too ugly, too public and too bitter, and therefore one of the two gentlemen at the helm of Indian cricket will have to leave. If the two are made to continue on the basis of an uneasy truce, they will take Indian cricket further down the road to disaster since the members of the team will be forced to side with either one or the other. In fact, signs of this polarisation are already emerging.
With the two men put in charge to lead the team to the next World Cup in such a situation, it makes it very difficult for the team to stay united. No amount of patching up is possible now. One of the two have to go, for the betterment of Indian Cricket. For now, Ganguly seems more closer to the door than Greg.
By the end of the day, it will be hopefully clear as to where the BCCI stands. For the sake of Indian Cricket and Cricket, in general, BCCI has to make the right decisions. While Indian cricket is going through this turmoil, one of our very own has added fuel to the fire with his comments. The best thing for the "ace" spinner to do, would have been to "shut up". Anyway, the horse has already bolted now.
The majority of the public siding with Chappell might seem to be a mirage, as none of the people who sided with Greg in these opinuion polls will matter.
Chappell has probably played all his aces too soon in this game. Or has he?
