Re: India seek new role for Chappell This is an excellent proposal. I had suggested him to be NCA chief yesterday but NCA consultant is not bad either.

Re: India seek new role for Chappell I feel its a good idea. Chappell has a lot of techinical expertise and we should look to exploit that knowledge.

Re: India seek new role for Chappell Plus, it can make NCA functional if the board has to pay a good sum for a consultant. Here Chappell can explain all those innovative methods to the youngsters who'll be more receptive to any new idea and they'll be able to try it without having too much pressure on them. That wat, all the NCA trainees can gain very useful insight of the game.

Re: India seek new role for Chappell reg here to stay, gets new role Roma Khanna | CNN-IBN | Posted Apr 06, 2007 at 18:12 | Updated Apr 06, 2007 at 21:40 Text Size: S- / S+ CommentsRSS Email EmailPrint Print Mumbai: Greg Chappell may not be saying a final farewell to Indian cricket after all. According to sources within the BCCI, the Aussie is likely to be offered a role as consultant at the National Cricket Academy, all this at the end of a dramatic first day of the BCCI's two-day meet in Mumbai where the outgoing coach, manager and captain made their case. Chappell and India captain Rahul Dravid were among the first to make their way into the BCCI headquarters. They were followed by tour manager Sanjay Jagdale. All three were to offer their take on the World Cup failure and the bigger problems that confront Indian cricket. Chappell was the first to leave. In his presentation report he took part responsibility for the performance and suggested ways to improve Indian cricket. According to Chappell: * Youngsters should be promoted * Team should concentrate on on fitness and strength * This will help with fielding and running between wickets * Chappell refused to name any individuals for the failure as was widely speculated in some media reports Sharad Pawar gave Greg Chappell a thumbs up and appreciated his professionalism towards Indian cricket. In a move that surprised many, Pawar also suggested that the Aussie had a role to play in the development of Indian cricket. Chappell could be seen returning to India perhaps as a consultant to to the National Cricket Academy, a move appreciated by BCCI vice-president Shashank Manohar and former BCCI president Raj Singh Dungarpur. Sanjay Jagdale's report, too, was along expected lines. He chose to stick to the beaten path saying: * The entire team, particularly the batsmen failed in key games against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka * Jagdale too thought that youngsters should be inducted to improve Indian cricket Skipper Rahul Dravid wasn't expected to present a report and didn't. Instead, he accepted responsibility for the defeat blaming it on poor performance. He, too, offered some suggestions to improve Indian cricket which weren't made public. The BCCI also heard from Chairman of selectors Dilip Vengsarakar who sang a familiar tune, wanting the domestic cricket to be strengthened and a pool of 25-30 cricketers to be identified from which the Indian team should be selected. On the face of it, the BCCI report appears to gloss over the concern that clouds Indian cricket. But scratch the surface and one can sense that the Board is unwilling to let the players rule the roost and have it their way. Ironically, the deficiencies in the system pointed out by outgoing coach Greg Chappell seemed to form the basis of the roadmap of Indian cricket's future.

unnecessary

i agree.

Re: India seek new role for Chappell If BCCI is indeed serious about reforming Indian cricket, this has been a masterstroke by them. Chappell has terrific knowledge about how to bring improvement at both physical and mental level. The only thing that he failed in was man-management. At NCA he would not have to do any man-management but will have to guide the youngsters and concentrate on making them a finished article or as close to that as possible. I wish all the best to Chappell and hope he excels here just like Rod Marsh excelled as ECB NCA chief.

Re: India seek new role for Chappell I think its an excellent Idea- i think Chappell's vision is a lot better suited as the head of an academy instead of a national coach - I don't think his approach is good for treating senior players but it works well at grassroot levels. Plus a lot of the way he sees cricket is that of a youth scout/developer than the coach of a senior team.
