Bedi rips into team, Greg Chappell

Bedi rips into team, Chappell

Greg Chappell is in the eye of storm once again over his frequent experiments with the team. Former Indian Cricket team captain and legendary spinner Bishen Singh Bedi is the latest to join the chorus against the Australian. Not only did he disapprove of Chappell's scheme of things, he was critical of the team's performance at the Champions Trophy too.

Says Bedi, "We should wake up to the reality that whether it is in the sub-continent or anywhere else, we still have to deliver. This kind of experimentation must stop somewhere."

India's performance in one-dayers in the past few months has been a cause for worry. India lost the one-day series to West Indies 1-4, finished last in the tri-nation DLF Cup in Kuala Lumpur and have now failed to reach the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy at home.

"The question is can they afford to put principle before profit. That is somewhere our guys are lacking at the moment," says the former Indian captain. "That is what is causing a lot of us a lot of irritation and unhappiness. We are wondering why Chappell is there and why someone of Indian origin should not be."

Endless experimentation has made the Indian team look out of their depth in recent times and with the World Cup four months away, time is clearly running out for the team management to turn the men in blue into world beaters.
