Greg Chappell's role no threat to India
Ian Chappell, writing in Mid Day, feels the Indian team should not worry too much about their former coach Greg Chappell assisting the Australians in the upcoming Test series.
If the Australian captain doesn't know how he wants his bowlers to attack Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag and VVS Laxman after playing against them for a decade, then Greg isn't going to be of much help....
And despite Ricky Ponting's struggles with the bat in India he's still played eight more Tests in the country than Greg. That's right, Greg didn't play a Test in India and even though he's watched a lot of cricket under those conditions there's nothing like actually having been out in the middle.
An editorial in the Indian Express also banishes fears that India’s secrets are up for revelation to the enemy camp.
