"Chappell basking in Indian talent, variety
By Indranil Basu/TNN

New Delhi: He never played Tests in India. But the country has
always fascinated him with its scope and variety. We are talking about Indian
cricket team’s Australian coach Greg Chappell, a great lover of India’s
multiethnic character. And the Aussie is having a good time despite being in the
hot seat, with the big task of training the team well enough to make it an
potent force at the highest level. “Yes, I have been enjoying my stint with the
team and I hope to continue like this and I am going to give my best. Ever since
I was appointed coach, I have enjoyed every bit of my new assignment. This
country really has an abundance of talent and I am glad that I am part of the
system,’’ Chappell told TOI on Thursday. Coaching India is no easy assignment.
Is he finding it strenuous to be on his feet all the time? “Not really. My job
is to help the cricketers and that is precisely why I am here. I am under no
pressure to perform but, at the same time, it is important to start the Sri
Lankan Tri-series well, which the cricketers understand every well,’’ Chappell
observed. So far so good: At one point of time, Chappell wanted to determine the
fitness levels of the upcoming pacers before he could shift focus to the
batsmen. And after the bowlers’ camp, Chappell is happy about the fact that they
are heading in the right direction. “I can neither say that this pacer is good
and that one is bad, nor can I share with you my interaction with the
cricketers. All I can say is that we, as a team, have been working sincerely to
achieve our goals,’’ Chappell said. Does he need more support staff ? “At
various times, we may need more and more professionals to help the side and that
is why we cannot overrule that possibility. We should keep our options open,’’
Chappell added"
