Taking Indian Cricket to the Next Level? Contd...

Chappell had his own coaching philosophy, which he and his business partner Ian Frazer (Frazer), a sports scientist, had personally researched and developed by observing past and present greats in cricket as well as other sports, such as soccer, American football, and tennis. The program called 'The Chappell Way' (Chappell Way) was offered to members online through a website (ChappellWay.com.au). A two-week program in Australia was also offered. Experts felt that the Chappell Way philosophy would help take India to the next level. Chappell introduced a new approach to training which could best be called unconventional. In addition to training drills, he also strove to bring about a change in the player's mindset through lectures on "lateral thinking" and other approaches generally used in management training.

Chappell's emphasis was more on the process, than on the outcome. His process for a successful cricket team called for inculcating fresh blood into the team and creating a large talent pool. Ability in fielding, a good attitude, and commitment were non-negotiable issues in his process.

Since Ganguly was not performing well with the bat, and was also not a very good fielder, Chappell felt that he had nothing more to offer Indian cricket. He was in favor of Dravid, the team's vice-captain, to take over as captain of the team. The relationship between the coach and Ganguly deteriorated when Ganguly hinted at a press conference in Zimbabwe in September 2005 that Chappell had asked him to quit as captain. The issue soon snowballed into a major controversy and took an ugly turn when an e-mail sent by Chappell to the Board of Control for Cricket in India6 (BCCI), which was very critical of Ganguly, was leaked to the media.
