Greg Chappel: The Trojan Horse!

For those who do not know what a Trojan Horse is :

“The term comes from the a Greek story of the Trojan War, in which the Greeks give a giant wooden horse to their foes, the Trojans, ostensibly as a peace offering. But after the Trojans dragged the horse inside their city walls, Greek soldiers sneak out of the horse's hollow belly and open the city gates, allowing their compatriots to pour in and capture Troy.”
The Greek Trojan Horse had soldiers inside its stomach. Our Trojan Horse had poison and viciousness which almost finished off Indian Cricket.

Mission accomplished, Mr.Greg Chappel. Pack your bags and go back.
But you could have saved us this B.S. about senior cricketers. Because we know our boys. A guy with your reputation and antecedents cannot change that opinion. The question is why the big boys were tolerating you for this long. Nobody had the guts to come out and blast you and your sickness sky high. But why? Were they so afraid of you?
What are you Greg? A monster in a man’s garb? Otherwise how can a lone man destroy such a strong team single handedly just in 2 years? I don’t have the answer. Remember, the day Grag Chappel took over, we were ranked 2nd and now were 6th or 7th.

Dear readers, please go back in history and remember the the days of John Wright and Sourabh Ganguly. It seems ages ago.
But it was 2 years ago. We were among the best. We had won the Natwest Trophy, won a test match in Australian soil after some 20-22 years. Won series in Pakistan. We had unearthed a raw gem in Irfan Pathan. He was bowling those unplayable banana inswingers to clue less Pakis. Sehwag had hit a triple century in Pakistan. Yuvaraj was becoming the 2nd prince of Indian cricket team after Ganguly.

We know you Aussies hate New Zealand as much as we hate Pakistan. But go to the extent of destroying all the good work done by John Wright by your vicious ways, is taking that hatred too far, Mr.Chappel!
But that is okay. we have digested so many invaders since Mohammed Gazni and Mohammed Ghory. We will digest you also. But in this time and age you deserve a public bashing and a kick on the butt as a parting gift.
I hope the Board is man enough to do that!

I have a perfect name for you, Greg Crooked Chappel!
You are crooked and your ways are more so.
How dare you point a finger at Sachin? We are with him since 1989 and you tell us that he was behaving like mafia during 2007 World Cup Cricket!
Take your opinion and shove it, Mr.Greg C Chappel! Don’t you ever dare to walk around India without your body guards. There are crazier people than me in India.
But, the problem is, our madness is Satvik. That is why we have survived and tolerated the injustice and injury the history has bestowed on us.
I know Chappel will go back to Australia and write a book on Indian cricket full of lies and your perverted views. The strange thing is, India will be the top market for your book after all you have done to us collectively.
Because until and unless people like Rajsingh Dungarpur are there in power, you will be deitified no matter what! Mr.Dungarpur says, “ we do not have coaches in India.” Same mouth also farted the words, “ In 1983, India did not win the World Cup. But West Indies lost it.”
You two are the prime example that age does not necessarily make you wiser. When the inside is rotting, age makes it uglier by the day.
I don’t think Sachin will respond your insinuations. Because that is Sachin. He is Mount Everest and you, Mr.Chappel is yesterday’s news! (This article was written before Sachin’s rebuttals)
I think you and our Gavaskar are made from the same mould. I don’t know, I may be wrong. But there is a resemblance.
So the Trojans had their horse and we had Greg Chappel. The time has come to burn this Trojan Horse and disperse the ashes in Ganges so that he will have a helthier soul in his next life!

Celebrate early Diwali my friends, the dark chapter is over!

Your dependence on seniors is the cause for our failure in world cup.What indian team needs is younger talent. Not the jaded seniors who live on their past glories and make life misreable for the budding juniors. Move over bombay mafia of cricket. Bombay alone is not India.If we have Ganguly, Dravid, Sachin and Agarkar for 2011 God save our cricket.
