Greg Chappell resigns as India coach

We're not upset about this. Greg Chappell always strikes us the kind of person who says: 'If I've got a problem with someone, I'll tell them. I'll tell them to their face. That's just me.'

People who say that ALWAYS have problems with people. They have problems with everyone. This is because they're dicks.

Greg Chappell also took the rather unusual step of publicly humiliating Sourav Ganguly in an interview with Mike Selvey of the Guardian, about this time last year.

We thought this was staggeringly unprofessional, actually quite petty and maybe rather stupid as well. Particularly when you consider that Ganguly later returned to the side. That wouldn't have been awkward then. Ho no no.

Maybe Chappell's a great technical coach, we don't know, but as a bloke he clearly rubs many people up the wrong way.

We don't doubt for a minute that privately and maybe publicly, Greg Chappell considers himself to be not in the least bit responsible for India's premature World Cup exit. There are claims that he's questioned the attitude of senior India players during the World Cup.

Lash out, Greg. Blame anyone but yourself.
