Weather he does or not, that's not his job......
That's job of manager, who seems to be more intereted in enjoying himself on free vacation... :-)

@Rahul67

I am not sure what's this discussion about. Wright was for long enough time to put his thinking in prespective. Its always good to get new coach to get new ideas. We did some during short stay of Greg at the helm... Good for India since Wright seems to have started accepting complexity of Indian cricket as fact of life and had stopped taking tougher decisions. Which Greg is taking..

-------------cvabn-------------
This is one point of my thread!
I like to know what Greg has CHANGED so far in the Indian team which they lacked before, or decisions he took?? (Ganguly is selector’s headache not the coaches) Has Greg the capacity to turn things around when they don't need to be turned around?
Has he taken any new recruits from Danice Lillee's school for Pace bowling?

Woolmer on the Other hand has tried several opener options for 1 & 2 spot.
Woolmer has resolved the whining for Keepers spot with Rashid and Moin over Kamran Akmal.
Woolmer has handled Shoaib Akhter well so far and has given him a new lease of confidence and an active scout for more pace weapons.
Woolmer & Inzimam sound a great team and they look it too.
Woolmer has done for Pakistan in short time what other could not achieve in the life time. However a big contributing factor is Team Pakistan's interest in the religion practices. Its a great mental escape from the harsh realities of Politics.

Other things like discipline and team spirit rituals are done by almost all the coaches so its irrelevant here,,,,

Greg has already mid-fingered the public opinion of him, but the fact remains that his inclusion in the indian camp is tainted and its just a matter of time before he joins Wright for a long game of Golf down under.

Some argue that he is a good spokesman. Well,, I thought coach’s prime roll is to correct the player’s technique, game plan, scout talents, and use resources to its max. Why allow the Manager to take the back seat when his job is of a spokesman?

@phoenixdesi

Greg "Chappal" brings game planning with him - YES, I AGREE

Greg "Chappal" will induce some arrogance in indian team's attitude- NO, I DO NOT AGREE ( i think this attitude type stuff is pretty natural and you can not induce it into some one....there is only one guy in the Indian team who is naturally arrogant and that is DADA Ganguly but he is already down these days..and yeah, sehwag bee dil wala ha (nothing to do with his double or triple centuries. I am talking about the temprament)....baqi saray to bakriee kay bachhay haan...now dont start yelling at me. I am not questioning anyone's talent here, just making a comment on attitude)

yell? I agree with you almost completely, with one diffeence - Tendulkar. He is pretty aggressive except the level at which he can play, it wouldn't seem like arrogance; kind of above the frey.

If RP Singh is Chappel's find then it makes a + point for him. Singh seems to be a good bowler.
